The fact we had such and passionate and experienced midwife, Corinna, as part of the course was such a blessing and contributed hugely to what I learned these past weeks.
From a personal perspective, being pregnant during the course was also a huge blessing, talking babies and pregnancy for two weeks has made me feel very happy and excited about having my first baby!

Joanne Smallwood
E-RYT 500, RPYT
Joanne has been a devoted yoga practitioner since her early twenties and has taught internationally for over 15 years.
​
As a certified Prenatal Yoga teacher, Joanne’s passion for the practice brought her to train and work closely with midwife, Corinna Stahlhofen to guide women through their pregnancy with yoga. Allowing women to evolve naturally through maternity, providing a safe environment for their yoga practice whilst offering tools and techniques for a natural childbirth is essential for a increased sense of well-being of both mother and child.
​
By leading the Prenatal Teacher Training course, Joanne will be bringing together key techniques, tools and knowledge for yoga teachers who wish to specialize in teaching yoga to pregnant women in a safe, effective and uplifting manner. Joanne has also studied to be a Birth and Postpartum Doula.
