This absolutely met my expectations and beyond; I definitely feel prepared to teach (though a little nervous about creating nidras) and am excited to share what I’ve learned. This may not be common feedback but, the most beneficial part of this program was being able to do it at my own pace from home. Pregnancy and birth is related to a very triggering topic and I don’t think that I would have been able to finish the course in person, but having the recordings and being able to pause and take breaks when I needed to is what made the difference in me completing this course and not.
Yes! This training exceeded my expectations. I practiced prenatal yoga when I was expecting but it did not include all the birth education. I think that would have been life changing for me. I want to combine birth education with yoga and this training was more than I thought I would get (but I shouldn’t be surprised since I did the 200 hr TT and know what positive intentions and knowledge you have!!). I feel prepared but need to get more practice to get into the groove.
The most beneficial parts: doing the class as a participant; seeing the resources you use (posters, pelvis
models, diagrams); having the training manual; discussion
I wanted to thank you for all the encouraging words and information in our yoga class. I used the deep breathing to get through the pain and contractions and it really helped. My husband was very impressed on how focused I was at breathing through the contractions. I really feel the yoga class helped me get through the experience. Thank you for that.
I just wanted to say thank you for absolutely everything that I learned from you during the winter session. My baby girl was born very early this morning and very quickly! It only took about three hours from the time my water broke at home until she was delivered. I’ve been continuing the postures from class on my own during the last four weeks and I know it made everything easy and smooth for me.
In about an hour, I went from four centimeters to fully dilated (no epidural for me!). The nurses and doctors couldn’t believe how smoothly everything went on my first baby – especially naturally! But all during labor, I kept remembering things that you said during all the classes and especially during the relaxation portion of each class. I controlled my breath (after a few panicked attempts!) and just went with the flow and fully trusted my body. I relaxed with the contractions and she glided out so effortlessly in the perfect birthing position. The doctors thought that I had a birth plan because I took total control over when I would push and the strength I would use, but I didn’t! My “birth plan” was to repeat over and over in my head everything I learned from you and to reassure my nervous system that everything really was okay and my body does know how to give birth.
It was such a wonderful experience and I can’t thank you enough! I’ll definitely see you next time, Bobby! Thank you again
Thanks for all your help – we had a healthy baby girl this morning at 7:52am. The breathing and postures really helped – no medication and quick delivery!
Thanks once again for the amazing pre-natal yoga classes and all your wonderful information. I feel that your classes prepared me mentally and physically so well for how we ideally imagined things would go in labour and delivery – I feel so, so blessed. I plan to highly recommend your classes to any pregnant friends in the future as I really feel it was critical in preparing me for the amazing experience of childbirth. THANK YOU!
Thanks so much for the excellent weekend. You are truly an outstanding teacher. I love how you interweave the classic yoga teachings with neuropsychology, philosophy, Japanese Buddhist teachings, and anatomy.
I practiced one of the scripts on my partner last night and plan to use it with my yoga students tonight. I am so excited to share this with others and to apply to my own practice. We packed a lot into two days! Bobby is a wealth of knowledge and ideas.
