Feminine Yoga Teacher Training
A continuing education opportunity.
Improve your teaching skills by learning what and how to teach yoga to women during important rites of passage they might experience.
This training was born from my passion for the Feminine and the care of women, on and off the mat. I feel the importance of informing yoga teachers about female rites of passage, the physiology of women and their cyclicality in order to have the tools to serve the students depending on the moment of life they are going through. In this way we truly respect those who rely on us, truly seeing their needs. Really seeing the person.
During six weeks (plus one for integration) we will immerse ourselves in the different types of yoga designed to accompany women on a journey into the practice of female yoga.
The course is online, live and on demand. The students will have videos, audio and handouts to study between meetings. At the end of the course they will teach a yoga class of a specialty of their choice and will receive a certificate with which they will be able to receive 20 Yoga Alliance Continuing Education credits.
*For YA, each certified teacher must accumulate 30 continuing education credits every 3 years. For more information click here.
The training
Once the student completes enrollment in the course, she will receive the contents of the first module of the course.
Week 1: We meet in person for an opening ceremony creating a new and safe space where we will study, share and get to know each other for the next 6 weeks. We will discuss the information from the first module together. I will also share technical information and answer questions.
Week 2 to 6: Students will prepare lessons with the group and receive feedback to improve their teaching skills.
On week 7 we will join together for a closing ceremony. This meeting is necessary to integrate all the information received, giving the group quality time to share their learnings or personal experiences that have happened in the last few weeks. It is also used as a time to make up for missing peaces.

Testimonials
The course opened my eyes to the need to fully experience my femininity in all aspects of my life and practice. Irene's teaching is exhaustive and complete; Irene has a real passion for the topic and cares about the dissemination of the course contents. This path is not only a precious tool for teachers who want to work more specifically with their students, opening up to new perspectives, but also an extraordinary journey into the forgotten world of the feminine and cyclicality. Thank you with all my heart.

I took the Feminine Yoga course for teachers. A splendid feminine approach to yoga, in harmony with our body and our cyclical life. A well-structured course, six macro themes divided into six weeks which went beyond simple asanas and which allowed me to embrace important aspects of my being a woman. The adaptations to be made during practice on the mat depending on the phase of life and/or menstrual cycle in which the practitioner finds herself are very useful. Thank you Irene for this newfound awareness.

I approached the Female Yoga training course with curiosity and I come away enriched, as a practitioner, teacher and woman.
I am grateful to have had the opportunity to participate in this journey, which, in addition to offering useful tools for a harmonious and conscious approach to practice, has highlighted many ideas to reflect on.
Irene is very knowledgeable and shares her knowledge generously.

Yoga teacher
I just finished the Women's Yoga course with Irene. In addition to being an interesting path, I had the opportunity to meet some wonderful women who helped and stimulated me. I really needed to immerse myself in the female world, to understand what had escaped me until now. The work continues. Thanks Irene and thanks to my traveling companions!

Yoga teacher
The course touches on every transformative phase and rite of passage that a woman can experience throughout her life. Now I feel more confident in what I can offer, and I am aware of how I can skilfully propose alternatives depending on the need even during a lesson. Irene was a precious guide, with great presence, experience and a source of inspiration. With simplicity and richness of soul she guided us into the Feminine, transmitting to us all his love for practice and the perfectionism he puts into each of his projects.
