Have you researched the Birthlight courses?

Scott (arjunaweeping) who lives in Scotland took their training and wrote about it here. Then two years ago at the European Yoga Conference here in Portugal, Kirsteen from Birthlight gave a short workshop about their work so I went along with some friends. I found it quite interesting but at the time didn't feel that interested in actually taking the course (I did appreciate that it wasn't very easy conveying the concept of prenatal yoga and teacher training in one and a half hours - kudos to Kirsteen who managed to pull it all off as she had to step in to replace Françoise Freedman at the last minute it seems).

It was decided that Kirsteen would come and do the teacher training here last year, but it had to be cancelled and postponed until the beginning of this year. When I heard about the new dates, I still felt no interest in taking the course until two months ago when a voice said 'you're going to do the course' (I was putting away dishes at the time!).

So I did. And I am very glad that I did. It was actually Françoise, the founder of Birthlight, who came to Lisbon to give the first module on the course and now we have lots of work to do planning classes, writing essays and finding 'volunteers' to teach! It is a lot of work but soooooo much fun to organize, read/learn about and even more fun to practice - think Freedom yoga for pregnant women

I can thoroughly recommend it!
