About Mandana’s Prenatal Classes

Lea, mum of 2: “I took prenatal yoga classes with Mandana while I was pregnant with Adrian.
She is very experienced and I would recommend her to any mummy to be. I really enjoyed my first-time experience doing yoga, on top of that Mandana also tailored her classes to my needs when my baby was breech.

She is bilingual French / English and offers small group (3-6 students max) classes in Yaletown.” ——————————————————————————————————
Margaux (new mum, active yoga practionner previous to her pregnancy): J'ai suivi des cours de 4 mois de grossesse à la semaine d'avant l'accouchement avec Mandana et ça a été génial afin de rester active et de me sentir mieux dans mon corps pendant cette période de changement si grands! Je n'ai eu quasiment aucune douleurs pendant ma grossesse (aucun problème de dos, d'épaules etc) et je pense que c'est grandement dû au fait d'avoir fait du yoga régulièrement. Mandana s'adapte aux spécificités et besoins de chacun et est très soucieuse du bien être des participantes. En plus, j'ai pu rencontrer d'autres mamans enceintes que je vois toujours: c'est top pour se partager des conseils!" Margaux

ABOUT MY TRAININGS

After my first certification in 2010 as a registered Yoga teacher from UYM, I went teaching in several corporative studios, very challenging where 30 to 50 people were standing in front of you. Having been a facilitator for many years, the challenge was not about the numbers, but the specificity of student’s needs, everyone were challenged by their own body system, pattern and story. As a genuine teacher, you are looking to help everyone not just the majority. So many prenatal women were joining regular classes, and I felt the obligation to train myself to support them properly. Fortunately in 2011, I heard that a BC prenatal teacher was in town, and I jumped on the occasion to register and learn from her. The training was fantastic and surprisingly very close to the Iyengar methodology, well, I was more ready that I thought to be. Many years later I decided to specialize myself in therapeutic Yoga, and in addition I had a review of Geeta Iyengar Ji prenatal teaching and learning system. What I can say, Mummies to be are amazingly powerful, and even more after birth, I admire all of them.
