Your Prenatal Yoga CPD Guide

Dr Karen Kirkness, PhD Medical Sciences, MSc Human Anatomy, E-RYT 500, YACEP

Karen trained in the Active Birth method with Janet Balaskas and the Pregnancy & Postpartum Exercise Specialist course with Dr Sarah Duvall. She is a mother of two and an experienced yogi.

"I am passionate about sharing creative learning techniques that bring anatomy to life through practice. As women, I believe we can take back our power during pregnancy and help other mothers-to-be do the same by educating ourselves. Yoga gives us a deeply nurturing tool to support our students and ourselves through the challenges and exciting changes of the female journey. I'm honoured to provide CPD that empowers women."
