Instructor Bio:
Bec has been teaching Yoga classes since 2001, when she finished the teacher training course at OM Yoga Center under Cyndi Lee. Since then Bec has gone on to gain certifications in restorative yoga and her specialty, pre-natal and post-natal yoga. Bec focuses on helping women develop strength, flexibility and confidence throughout their pregnancy and post-partum. Bec has studied prenatal and post natal yoga with Betsy Kase, Janice Clarfield, and Judith Lasater. Bec has also assisted Janice in training future pre-natal yoga teachers at Kripalu Center for Yoga and Wellness. In January of 2007, Bec completed Barbara Benagh’s 15 month course: The Art of Teaching Yoga. Her DVD, Prenatal Yoga with Bec Conant was produced by Heart of the Moon media in 2008. Bec is the founder of Om Births Prenatal Yoga, an online yoga program solely focused on the journey from conception through pregnancy, birth, and into motherhood providing a holistic and personalized program of support and mindfulness. Om Births online provides an online video membership with home practice videos specifically for pregnant women and new mothers. The Om Births Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training has trained hundreds of yoga teachers in Bec’s method of holistic and empowered yoga practices for pregnancy and birth. In addition to teaching yoga Bec is trained as a Birth Doula with DONA International. Her first birth experience taught her the value of intuition and a calm, steady presence in birth. Bec has attended nearly 300 births — first in the New York area, and here in Boston. Bec is a certified HypnoBirthing® childbirth educator in the Mongan Method, a Spinning Babies Parent Educator- a technique focused on releasing myofascial tension to promote balance and easier birthing . She also holds a childbirth education certification from Boston Association of Childbirth Educators (BACE). Through her years of teaching and attending birthing women, Bec has seen a deep connection between the body, the mind and the heart; a connection she hopes to share with her students and birthing mothers. Bec’s classes focus on developing strength, flexibility, and body balance, while learning to respect and listen to the body’s wisdom. Her gentle teaching style allows students to deepen their practice while working at their own pace.
