"This was an AMAZING training!

The perfect combination of study and practical application. I feel as if I am bursting with knowledge and am incredibly excited to share all that I learned with my students. I feel that my teaching has become more confident, and I am giving my students a more complete class. I am so grateful to Sue for allowing me to take part in this – she is a SUPERB instructor! Thankful to Allie for her assistance, to Tracy for her behind-the-scenes admin, and to all the women for sharing their knowledge and experience.”

"I really enjoyed this training with Sue and the great group of women that came together for it.

\I appreciated the focus on both the physical and spiritual and also the nice blend of strengthening and restorative. Sue is an extremely knowledgeable teacher and I loved getting to learn not just about yoga but also more about pregnancy and birth as well. Thanks Sue! "

"It was an amazing experience that opened my mind to a new way of teaching and a new niche for my business.

I loved the content and the idea of supporting the mothers in this special moment of their lives. “

"I've learned a lot and now feel a new power in me that I never felt before towards pregnancy and birth.

I really enjoyed the connection in the group and everything we shared together during the training.”

- Raffaella Simeone

"I am very much inspired by Sue’s passion for prenatal yoga and am excited to share what I have learned in this training with pregnant women back home.

Sue’s teachings were clear, comprehensive and thorough, allowing me to have some confidence to show up as a teacher without knowing everything. I also deeply appreciated the supportive environment that she created for us throughout the course. I highly recommitted this teacher training for those who wish to deepen their knowledge on yoga and pregnancy."

- Maya Tanaka Barnard

"Thank you so much for an incredible week.

I learned so much, not just about teaching natal yoga, but I feel the training deepened my own understanding of Yoga and my work as a teacher. I really loved the way you weaved tantra, mantra, chanting, meditation with the practical nuts and bolts in such a condensed time. Each day was so full and I left every afternoon feeling inspired."

- Caitlin Talbot 

"I feel like I returned home with a toolbox filled with new information, a new perspective and self-confidence to both educate others on the prenatal experience, but also prepare myself for the weeks and months to come.

You have truly a beautiful way of delivering the information - a way that is so moving, useful, approachable and SO much fun. A friend texted to ask how the weekend was going yesterday and the best way I could answer was this: My mind is blown and my heart is open. It's all so true.”

- Allison Russell

 

"I was drawn to Sue's prenatal and postnatal teacher training because I trust her to teach in a way that keeps the yoga practice of expecting mothers safe.

I took many prenatal classes while pregnant and always felt the most comfortable with the sequences and guidance/attention I received from teachers who have completed this training.  Some prenatal classes are just about the poses or what is safe for the baby.  Sue takes into consideration what is safe for the mother as well, in pre- and post-partum yoga.  She integrates aromatherapy, nutrition, the benefits of natural childbirth, and alignment into this training.  I want to be able to share this knowledge and help other mothers-to-be have a safe pregnancy and yoga practice, so this training was perfect!”

"Sue’s Awakening the Goddess Training provides the perfect combination of intelligent teaching tools, spiritual wisdom and individual empowerment.

I recommend it to teachers who want to best serve their pre/post-natal students, as well as to those who want to think critically about the effects of pregnancy and birth on the individual, and explore the divine, creative pulsation that makes all life possible.”

- Denise Corsini

 

"This experience for me was truly eye-opening and enlightening.

As a physical therapist, I was extremely nervous to embark on this journey having not taught yoga before and knowing that I may be the only one in the class who didn’t have that experience.  After spending a short time in the course, I could not have felt more welcome with such a wonderful group of people.  The course challenged me to try things I otherwise may have been fearful to try and for that I am so thankful.  I have already used many of the poses and techniques in my pelvic floor physical therapy practice and look forward to teaching pre natal and post partum yoga classes at my clinic.”

"I feel inspired and uplifted every time I am in the presence of Sue and I am proud to call her my teacher! Her knowledge and love for prenatal yoga shines through in everything she does.

Her trainings and her book are a thorough guide to everything you need to know when doing yoga in your pregnancy; whether you are a student, teacher or "just" a new mom to be.”
