We asked Melissa what inspired her to create the Mum & Baby Yoga Teacher Training…
"When myself and Lisa Wilkinson , owner of The elbowroom started the Pregnancy Yoga Training, we realised there was a huge need for a follow-on class. Most women love to continue classes with their Pregnancy Yoga Teacher once baby is born so it seemed like such a natural progression.
There was very little around that also focused on the parent as well as the baby. The only classes available were baby yoga. New mums need to feel held, understood, and safely guided back into their bodies. I came across incredible pregnancy yoga teachers and yoga teachers from our training, who wanted to support this stage of life but didn’t feel equipped, especially when babies were involved. And I saw mums navigating recovery, exhaustion, and identity shifts without enough informed support.
We created this training to bridge that gap, to give teachers the knowledge, confidence, and sensitivity to truly serve women during this rollercoaster, transformative chapter in their lives as well as help them find their tribe and integrate into the community."
