Hi Bettina, I was wondering if you could tell us a bit more about how you make your classes fit all the different wimmen in different trimesters and with different pregnancy conditions all in the same class? That seems like one of the trickiest parts to me 🙂
Sure can. I will definitely talk about this in the live Q and A.
But generally when you’re first getting started I recommend planning a gentle class that would be mostly suitable for all trimesters and then modifying once you know who is there. So for instance offering bolsters under third trimester women’s back so that they aren’t flat on floor. Or offering alternatives if you have a women with pelvic instability.
With practice you definitely get good at modifying.
But at the start, remember like any yoga class it is on the woman to only do what feels right for her. You would remind them to rest when they needed. Come out of anything that doesn’t feel comfortable. etc
Your final assessment is the only one that is compulsory to receive your completion certificate. All of the other activities are designed to help you in your learning. 🙂
I just worked through the weak pelvic floor do and don’t for asanas. I couldn’t seem to find any poses which are a no go. What are your suggestions? Are there any asanas you would swop out?
I really liked the swop out video you had for the SI and SPD condition. Maybe you have a list for abdominal separation and weak pelvic floor as well?
