Holding Space in Motion: A Perinatal Professional Training

20-Hour Continuing Education | Lafayette, CA + Virtual Options

Postpartum is a lifetime status.

And the way we support people through pregnancy, birth, and beyond?
It shapes everything that comes after.

This course exists for the teachers and professionals who feel that…
and want to meet it with skill, clarity, and presence.

This is not a prenatal yoga training.

This is a shift in how you understand support.

Holding Space in Motion is a 20-hour continuing education workshop designed to help you confidently support clients across the perinatal season using movement, breath, and awareness.

Whether you’re teaching in a studio, supporting a birth, or holding a postpartum container, you’ll leave with tools that are practical, adaptable, and rooted in real-life application.
