Fertility Yoga Teacher Training & Mentorships
Individualized and Attentive Teacher Training
Are you a yoga teacher who would like to incorporate fertility yoga into your offerings?
I love working with teachers who have a strong calling to serve students who are facing obstacles on their path to building a family. In most cases, those that seek mentorship and training in fertility yoga have themselves experienced infertility, fertility treatment, and pregnancy loss and know the value and benefit of a yoga practice during these times.
Does this sounds like you?
Mentorship and dissemination of knowledge is an important piece of the FBY Teacher development program. Knowledge is dispensed with focus on the individual, their previous knowledge and experience, as well as their strengths and areas to focus on.
By the end of our time together you will feel empowered to create a community that offers safe and nurturing fertility yoga classes that are both beneficial and effective. Once you start to see the transformation of your students, you will gain a deeper connection to teaching yoga.
“Kerry is warm, compassionate and professional. As a mentor she provides a supportive and encouraging space to learn, practice and grow. Through her teachings, I have learned not only best practices, but have also learned about myself along the way. I appreciate the knowledge and compassion that she brings to the fertility community. Thank you Kerry!”
Jules Parkin

Focus areas for our mentoring relationship may include:
- What is Fertility Yoga? What makes these classes different than others?
- Contraindicated and indicated asana during IVF and menstrual cycles
- Teaching thematically to the body, mind, and spirit
- Scope of practice – staying in your lane and referring when needed
- The relationship between stress, fertility, and yoga
- Writing visualization and imagery scripts
- Unpacking the myths and misconceptions of how yoga can support fertility
- Sequencing & cuing for group classes with different cycle stages happening at once
- Finding your students
- Marketing and developing relationships with clinics
- Offering private one on one sessions
- Offering workshops and collaborating with other fertility practitioners
- Holding space for pregnancy loss and fertility treatment
- Taking your seat and finding your voice as a fertility yoga teacher
