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. I feel so much more aware and connected to my feminine power and I am so excited to help and support women on their own journey. Thank you for everything!

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

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.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I did my RPYT with Lauren, Island Prenatal Yoga in 2020. We got a well prepared manual with a wide range of important information. This includes Pranayama, Meditation, Asanas, Anatomy, Sequences, Teaching skills etc. and I loved every part of it. All the videos and online lectures were great to get more deep into the topic. Lauren is a lovely teacher with knowledge, a good spirit, a big heart and it is possible to ask her questions anytime. I am so happy that I chose Island Prenatal Yoga as my teaching school for my next step in my yoga journey and say THANK YOU for having me.”
