Testimonials

Online Course

"I would recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in pre/post natal Yoga and in teaching Yoga. It has been far more than I ever imagined, and I feel that I have a whole new perspective in my own life & teaching style," Louise O'loan, Yoga Teacher,  Bahrain

"The prenatal online course was so beneficial. Not having been pregnant or had a baby, I was able to understand the entire journey of pregnancy. The issues women face with their bodies and particularly the health problems that may occur during pregnancy i.e PSD, Sacroiliac dysfunction were explained thoroughly.   I feel I have the necessary tools to cater my classes to support these women, despite the fact I have not personally experienced it," Naomi Kerr, Yoga Teacher, Tweed Heads

"Just wanted to let you know I held my first mums & bubs yoga class today! Thank you for providing me with the knowledge, confidence and inspiration to conduct safe postnatal yoga classes. The class is such a success, it was booked out before we began, and I will now have two weekly mums & bubs classes," Andi Kiprillis, Yoga Teacher, Berwick, Victoria

"I would like to mention how much I enjoyed the course and feel as though the style of teaching and care is an organic match with how I am currently sharing time with students in the regular style yoga I currently am teaching.  It is lovely to hear and read so much nurturing and  knowledge all rolled into one course. Well done Bliss baby team!", Louise O'loan, Bahrain

"It was very easy to follow and complete the course.  I feel totally confident implementing the ideas and practices in my teaching.  The DVD classes were particularly helpful," Mel Champion, Yoga Teacher, Golbourn

"It was very well structured, uncomplicated and the right amount of time.  Already qualified teachers would enjoy the practicality of this course" Janine Campbell, Yoga Teacher, Gold Coast

"I found the online teacher training very useful and beneficial.  I feel much more comfortable and confident as a teacher leading a class at 7 months pregnant that am doing the Asanas safely and beneficially for me and my baby.  I thought the practical knowledge was invaluable.  Every woman is different both in body and in her yoga experience so having props and modifications can be very useful," Liliana Bruno, Yoga Teacher, Adelaide

"In enjoyed this course so much because the course materials were presented in a detailed and intersting way.  It allowed flexibiel time for me to study, no stress on doing assignments, and the skype session was a good way for me to discuss the case study assignment with you and ask questions, "Gloria Yu, Canada

"I enjoyed the course.  It was great to be able to study at home, stop and start when I needed to and also to rewind and revist parts of the course that I wanted to refer to again.  It covered the most important anatomy, asana, health issues, as well as emotional issiues, without trying to flesh it out with other stuff to fill in time," Cliar Skyring, Bald Hills

"I left Ana's pre-natal course feeling empowered, inspired and informed.  Ana freely shared her insights into the different ways that yoga can benefit at this profound time in women's lives.  The opportunity to be surrounded by so many open minded and accepting people that were brought together by Ana's workshop was sensational as I was able to listen and feel real empathy for the many real stories. Every woman of child bearing age would benefit greatly by being part of Ana's workshop." Naomi Trumino, Yoga Teacher

"Your prenatal training far exceeded my expectations.  I now feel confident I will be able to help women enjoy the profound experience of pregnancy by being able to offer a safe and nurturing yoga class.  On top of the knowledge and learning, the training provided a space and opportunity to personally heal from a previous birthing experience.  Thank you so much for creating a nurturing space in which to connect, communicate and experience the joys of pregnancy with such an amazing group of women .  My remaining 3 weeks of this current pregnancy will be richer for the knowledge I now have and for the stories shared throughout the course of the weekend.  I look forward to being able to share the same knowledge and sense of community with my own classes in future," Belinda Gaskall, Melbourne
