Thanh Nguyen – PYTT

In 2021, I had the opportunity to take a 1:1 Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training course with Bobby Bessey in Hanoi. It was one of the best learning experiences I have ever had. Not just a course on how to teach yoga to pregnant women, the program also opened up a treasure trove of useful knowledge related to pre- and post-natal care for women, especially pelvic floor health – an important but under-regarded topic.

Bobby is a dedicated, approachable, experienced teacher who has been a birth doula for many years. Her deep understanding of the female body, combined with her practical experience and love for the profession, brings to the course an authentic, inspiring, and receptive learning atmosphere. I was particularly impressed by the way she integrated knowledge of anatomy, maternal psychology, and maternity care skills into each lesson. Each posture and exercise was thoroughly analyzed from a safety perspective and appropriate for each stage of pregnancy. In addition, knowledge about the pelvic floor, how to recognize, care for, and recover is also a highlight of the course – not only for pregnant mothers but also useful for all women who care about their long-term health.


Năm 2021 mình có cơ hội được học khóa đào tạo giáo viên Yoga Bầu (Prenatal Yoga) 1:1 với Bobby Bessey tại Hà Nội. Đó là một trong những trải nghiệm học tập tuyệt vời nhất mà mình từng có. Không chỉ đơn thuần là một khóa học về cách hướng dẫn yoga cho mẹ bầu, chương trình còn mở ra cho mình một kho tàng kiến thức bổ ích liên quan đến chăm sóc phụ nữ trước và sau sinh, đặc biệt là về sức khỏe sàn chậu – một chủ đề quan trọng nhưng còn ít được quan tâm đúng mức.

Bobby là một cô giáo tận tâm, gần gũi, giàu kinh nghiệm, người từng làm birth doula (birth doula là người tốt nghiệp đại học Y khoa, 4 năm tập trung vào sinh nở) trong nhiều năm. Sự hiểu biết sâu sắc về cơ thể người phụ nữ, kết hợp cùng kinh nghiệm thực tiễn và tình yêu nghề của cô, đã mang lại cho khóa học một không khí học tập chân thực, truyền cảm hứng và dễ tiếp thu.

Mình đặc biệt ấn tượng với cách cô lồng ghép kiến thức giải phẫu, tâm lý mẹ bầu và kỹ năng chăm sóc thai sản vào từng buổi học. Mỗi tư thế, mỗi bài tập đều được phân tích cặn kẽ từ góc độ an toàn và phù hợp với từng giai đoạn thai kỳ. Ngoài ra, những kiến thức về sàn chậu, cách nhận biết, chăm sóc và phục hồi cũng là điểm sáng của khóa học – không chỉ dành cho mẹ bầu mà còn hữu ích cho mọi phụ nữ quan tâm đến sức khỏe lâu dài của mình. Có thể nói Bobby đã truyền đạt kiến thức với tất cả kinh nghiệm thực tế và trái tim. Nếu bạn đang tìm kiếm một khóa đào tạo thực tiễn, chuyên sâu, nhân văn và truyền cảm hứng, thì đây chắc chắn là một lựa chọn không nên bỏ qua!

MJ Marsden – India 2025

The India Ashram Study and Tour trip was a trip of a lifetime for me.  It was a huge learning experience that I will never forget. To see yogis, and local people, in their environments, doing what they do daily, was very eye opening. There is so much to learn about the world, and about yoga. The authenticity of the devout at the ashram, temples and mosques was all very moving.
 
I was often way out of my comfort zone during this whole process- from reading The Ramayana- to the rickshaw ride- to monkeys on the mountain- I’m so glad I did it all! I learned a lot about my own personal beliefs and privilege. The experience has me re-evaluating various aspects of my life. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to take part in this journey and for giving me the courage to grow. 

Carol T- Hatha

My tests have shown that my bone density has increased at an amazing rate since I started yoga. I don’t know if it is a coincidence but my results have moved from osteopenia to normal in my hip, and from osteoporosis to ‎osteopenic in my spine. I have had 4 bone density scans in my life and this recent improvement was considered drastic!  My doctor described my results as stark improvement!

Suzanne Mulowney – Hatha

I have been practicing yoga for over ten years and and find Bobby’s classes such a wealth of knowledge and inspiration to my yoga practice. Her calming yet encouraging voice brings me into the space mentally. I love that she can provide a number of alternate versions of a pose allowing me to find the best one that my body needs at that time.

Kim Todd – Hatha

In each Hatha class, Bobby’s depth of knowledge and teaching style take me to a new place I haven’t been before.  It’s a beautiful blend of thought, physical challenge and ease.  I find myself looking forward to Tuesday night classes, and I find each week makes me more willing to explore and accept what comes in the day to day life.  Highly recommend!

Virginia Middleton – Hypnobirthing

I’m positive that the hypnobirthing classes we took with Bobby Bessey helped so much. I found the breathing techniques were amazing. I even fell asleep a few times in transition. Ha ha. One of our nurses, Lisa, came to visit Miranda and I the next day up on the 4th floor to see how we were doing. She joked that the night shift were calling me Xena Warrior Princess because I was such a champ during labour. I can’t help but brag about that a little.

Megan Morrison – Doula

Bobby gave me the greatest gifts during my pregnancy and birthing experience. She took my exhaustion, pain, tears and worry and gave me strength, hope, affection and a positive calm atmosphere through all of it. Having a doula made it possible to believe in myself and for Kyle to just be there beside me supporting me. My memories of birth are of a man on one side of me telling me how much he loves me and a woman on the other side giving me the breath to say it back to him. xo

Jennifer Dove

Having bobby with us made a world of difference, she kept me calm through the entire process from pre- labour discussions and meetings right up to post labour discussions. The most valuable part of having Bobby as my Doula was the overwhelming sense of support and positive energy she provided during my labour, she was the constant amongst all the different staff at the hospital and the numerous procedures, she was there for me – just me and it was a wonderful feeling! I wish all birthing mothers had a Doula like her and I hope that Doulas become more and more respected by the medical profession and seen for the positive impact they have on the birthing mother!

Cara Cameron

If it were not for my doula Bobby, I think my husband would have had a heart attack. He raves about doulas now and our experience with her!
Bobby was great and made my labour and my child’s birth exceptional. I honestly would have had an entirely different experience without her and one that I don’t think I would have 100% raved about. Furthermore, as I noted above, my husband really loved having a doula as he felt much more comfortable knowing that there was someone outside of the nurses and doctors supporting me through labour and him for that matter. We tell all of our friends they need a doula as our experience was pretty stellar.
