I recently have decided to take a childbirth education training so that I can be of service to women and their families, outside of the yoga studio. I have decided to seek certification through Lamaze International and have begun the process which is largely self study. I have already completed many of the learning activities, as I have been teaching prenatal yoga for four years now, but am so excited to really immerse myself in the information.
I hope to work with my students to achieve some of the goals of the program. I have to eventually teach a childbirth education series of classes that will be observed by a senior Lamaze teacher. I may need volunteers to teach for this series, so I hope some of my students will be willing to be my guinea pigs–or recommend me to their friends.
The program can take anywhere from nine months to two years to complete, and I hope to be able to sit for the certification examination next spring or fall. I will continue to post about my progress and meanwhile look for more knowledge in my yoga classes.
If you are interested in attending my “practice teaching” of a series, please let me know…or if you know of anyone who is, let them know!
