Become a yoga teacher for pregnant women in magical Lake Atitlan!

Pregnancy is a very sacred time in a woman’s life. Life is growing inside her body and she is a walking, breathing temple for this life to enter the earthside. Everything she surrounds herself with will ultimately be the beginning of her child’s life experience, and future generations to come. Experience the Magic of Transformation!

Mystical Womyn Prenatal training is more than a Prenatal Yoga & Postnatal Teacher Training Course, it is an opportunity to dive deep into the experience of what it really means to be pregnant, in all of its facets. We uncover the “hidden” mysteries of our cycles and rhythms with the earth, moon, and universe.

We live and breathe each of the four phases or trimesters during pregnancy and motherhood while in tune with the four directions of the ancient medicine wheel. Every aspect of pregnancy and pre and postnatal yoga will be incorporated with the goal of feeling fully confident to work with this very special population.

We invite all yoga teachers, doulas, midwives, birth workers, nurses, mothers, or ANY BODY wanting to learn more about this sacred time.

This is an opportunity to step away from the noise, reconnect with your intention, and return home with both inner alignment and practical tools to support your evolution as a yoga teacher and business owner.

JOIN OUR MYSTICAL PRENATAL & POSTNATAL YTT

You are the expression of the divine within all of us. You walk on the Earth gently with beauty and grace. You know the world is your creation as you dream your world into being. You know your true soul’s purpose and lives each day blossoming into the path you are meant to walk. You are in harmony with the natural rhythms of life and the cycles of the moon, oceans, and stars. You walk barefoot on the moist Earth and see clearly through the dark, embracing the sweetness of the air as the sun sets and the silence of the night reveals its secrets.

A woman’s womb is the ultimate source of creativity, the dynamic flow of life force energy. The sacredness of her nature is expressed through love and magnified in her relationships with others and the natural world.

When she becomes pregnant with the life of a baby within, she radiates as she has never before. Her aura glows and vibrates with her two heartbeats and is felt from all that surrounds her. The wisdom within her ripens as her belly becomes full. This ancient knowledge seeps into her skin from the soil beneath and dances out in the harmony of her voice, felt in the warmth of her actions, and is known in the child within. This child is born into the life of a sage.

We invite all yoga teachers, doulas, midwives, birth workers, nurses, mothers, or ANY BODY wanting to learn more about this sacred time.

DIVE INTO THE SACRED FEMININE

Learn to teach yoga to pregnant women, support them through pregnancy and birth, and be a part of raising consciousness in our future generations.

In this Journey, we will flow through the trimesters as well as through the Peruvian Medicine Wheel as we dive into the Divine Feminine and Mother Archetype. As we move through our own transformations we reveal what it is we are called to share with the future children of the world, inside of the pregnant mother.

Mothers hold the seeds of the next generation of conscious creators inside the heart of their wombs, making it imperative for us to hold space for this transformation. Within this very sacred time of being pregnant a mother is a moving temple and all that she thinks, eats, and does is imprinted on the baby inside of her.Yoga provides a precious gift of translating that sacredness into everyday life and into the baby within, motherhood and beyond.

Yoga teachers, doulas, midwives, birth workers, nurses, mothers, or anyone wanting to learn more about this sacred time, are all invited to share in this Mystical Womyn Journey.

We will be joined by midwives as they share their wisdoms, all called to this way of life by their dreams. We will also be connected to Midwives in the Western World as they share their own wisdoms of being with pregnant women before, during, and after birth.

You will leave this training feeling empowered and prepared to guide pregnant women on their journey, either through yoga classes or in a support role. As well as gaining in depth knowledge of anatomy and physiology, the fundamentals of building a safeprenatal class and the importance of nutrition, we will break down numerous common poses in detail. We will also explore the importance of ancient wisdoms, such as placenta as medicine and undisturbed birth. This training is a merging of the heart and science of becoming a mother and how yoga can serve as both.

PRENATAL STUDENT TESTIMONIALS

Following my own postpartum journey I have felt a strong desire to provide a space, a community where women feel safe to share as they learn about all the newness of motherhood. In today’s society, in America especially, postpartum in particular can be a lonely experience for mothers that are not surrounded by family or other mothers like our ancestors were. My goal now that I am certified in prenatal and postnatal is to provide a circle where women can share anything. A place where we share birth stories and new life as we move again and learn about our bodies after having a baby. A place to feel less isolated.

John Doe Company Name

After my own experience having a baby and taking Prenatal/Postnatal with SYI and Mystical Mamas, I am very called to help women find their own voice in their postpartum journey, find themselves after having a baby as they navigate new motherhood and allow women to have some time just for themselves. A mom group meets yoga class for anyone postpartum. A no holds barred crew where we are not trying to get our pre baby body back but instead are learning about our post baby self as we move our bodies.

Our PRENATAL & POSTNATAL YOGA YTT CURRICULUM

Mystical Womyn Yoga is the yoga of spiritual practice. True to its Mystical Mama roots, this prenatal practice is derived from different yoga traditions, such as Ashtanga Vinyasa, Sivananda and Iyengar. It is designed beyond form and tradition and aims to encompass the essence of yoga and spirituality as a practice of Union. We guide each class with ease, intention and with the highest regard for the pregnant mother.

We focus on the roots of our yoga tradition, where yoga is used as an instrument to reveal the truth of our existence as spiritual beings. Our Yoga Teacher Training is a holistic program; to understand Yoga you must first understand Self… body, mind, and spirit. We use the four directions of the Native American Medicine wheel as a guide and foundational structure for the course.

Within each direction, we will focus on different types of movement, nourishment and meditation to meet the mother Goddess. We bring to life the ancient teachings of wise wimyn all over the world, through accessible and intuitive based teaching methods.

During this Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training program you will:

Work through the Peruvian Medicine Wheel in a process of embodying the transformation that a pregnant womyn undergoes.
Learn tools to modify numerous yoga poses to accommodate mother at differing stages of gestation through detailed anatomy and physiology modules, as well as guidance and feedback on creating your own unique sequences.
Continue to live the yogic lifestyle, improve your personal practice and develop a deep appreciation for the role of Mother and the Goddess archetype.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is an absolutely amazing school if you are wanting to get your yoga teacher license! The teachers here were wonderful! Bea, Jed and Nikki were so knowledgeable and created such a safe and loving environment. This experience has changed my life and I met the most amazing woman who were in the training with me. They have become my family here and this place will always hold a piece of my heart. I loved how spiritual this experience was and leaned heavily on personal growth and development as well as gaining the confidence and encouragement to teach when I go back home!

An incredible experience from start to finish! The SYI YTT 200 program at Aves in Costa Rica combined solid technical training with a genuinely beautiful setting, the perfect environment to dive deep into practice and study. The instructors were knowledgeable, supportive, and clearly invested in helping each student grow, both on and off the mat. The curriculum was well-structured and covered everything from anatomy to teaching methodology in a way that felt thorough but never overwhelming. Being surrounded by such rich Costa Rican flora and fauna made the whole experience even more magical. I left with new skills, a deeper practice, and connections with an amazing group of fellow students. Highly recommend to anyone considering their YTT journey!

I have almost completed my 200 hr online YTT with SYI and 5 stars is not enough stars. They deserve many more stars because this course was life changing for me. Among so many things it was; informative, meaningful, user friendly (referring to the online part), deep, and successful. By successful I mean I feel ready to teach immediately. After completing the final portion of the class I have videos and sequences ready to go to for auditions and classes. By deep I mean, it has changed my life off the mat and I am so excited to take those lessons with me and spread the knowledge and power of a yoga lifestyle. There's more! Included with the class is a 20 hr anatomy class that is so very helpful, educational and jam packed. I will revisit that course material often. While attending classes online were not "the same" as in person, it really didn't feel like it. My classmates and instructors were so amazing and we zoomed outside of class as well. So not only am I ready to teach but I have a built in support system after only a few months of class with these wonderful people. I can not wait to get some teaching under my belt so I can sign up for the 300 hr YTT classes and this time I will hopefully be able to attend at one of their AMAZING locations like Bali!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just completed the Mystical 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. This YTT is everything I thought it would be and more. I am forever grateful for this life changing experience and everyone here. Both my fellow students, the teachers, the retreat center staff and all of the syi staff. It was so much more than just a yoga teacher training. I truly felt I came into my true self. Thank you syi! ♥️

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t recommend them enough. My training for the 100 HR Yin & Nidra in Costa Rica with Inka and Colynn was everything I wanted AND MORE. The amount of information and personal transformation I got from this training is incredible. The way they layer the whole journey really allowed me to dive deep and I’m leaving here more myself than ever before. Inka and Colynn are both wonderful people and teachers.💛
