I took the prenatal yoga teacher training at BNFYoga in the summer of 2014. Leah created a supportive and safe environment for all of us to learn and grow. The course was interactive and informative and I was confident in my ability to teach prenatal yoga by the end of it. Learning more about the process of being pregnant, and the extra care and awareness that needs to be given, both as a teacher and a student, has helped me tremendously now that I am pregnant myself.

Currently I teach prenatal yoga 3 times a week, learning more from the women who practice with each class. I am also expecting, and take prenatal classes as often as I teach them which has been great. It has been a unique and beautiful learning experience for me and I look forward to continue to expand on my experience at BNFYoga.
