⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wow, this course was SO interesting. Lauren is the most compassionate human being ever and she knows exactly what she is talking about. She has helped me so much to understand all that women go through during pregnancy and after.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The course was a great way to get the tools needed to guide pregnant woman that are doing or want to do Yoga. It gives details about the do's and don'ts on every trimester. You get knowledge on how to plan a class for different purposes and by practicing yourself. Lauren has big empathy for the pregnant woman and can very well relate to their need in every stage, and her experience and love in what she does is inspiring and motivating.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Doing this course at a time where I am expecting was extra special! Thank you for guiding us through such a beautiful journey connecting to ourselves, our babies (even if balloons), and each other. It was the perfect combination of lecture and practice so that we can really feel and understand the experience of pre and post natal more thoroughly.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lauren's knowledge and passion for pre&post natal Yoga could shine through since the very beginning! I liked the sense of community and the connection with the group that was created. Practicing teaching everyday and learning so much about this discipline gave me the confidence of starting teaching prenatal and post natal classes straight away. It's unbelievable how much fun we had while learning and studying 😍 highly recommended
