ARIANNE "OM" TRAVERSO

A leader in the yoga, business and wellness fields, Arianne is the owner of the Yoga Expo, a 2x published author, international yoga teacher and digital business coach for holistic entrepreneurs. She’s the founder of Arianne Om – Evolve Creative, a consulting and creative marketing agency. She leads the podcast for wellness and yoga lovers Om All Day, is the marketing chair for TedXMiami and is the head of BossTalks Miami.

In the latest episode of the Home All Day podcast, host Arianne Traverso sits down with two extraordinary women in the wellness industry: Paola Villegas and Vanessa Birnbaum. These seasoned yoga professionals share their journey and insights into the world of prenatal yoga, a specialty that they have honed over years of dedication and passion.

Paola, who began her yoga journey in 2005, found her calling in prenatal yoga by 2008, leading her to become one of South Florida’s top prenatal yoga educators. She emphasizes the importance of finding a niche and mastering it, which has allowed her to build a thriving practice through referrals alone. Vanessa, on the other hand, discovered her love for the yoga industry while caring for her sister and has since dedicated her career to empowering yoga teachers to create impactful educational experiences.

We prepare yoga teachers to know what to do:

Together, Paola and Vanessa have launched the Blissful Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training, an 85-hour program designed to equip yoga instructors and dedicated practitioners with the skills needed to support women during one of the most significant phases of their lives. The training goes beyond teaching physical modifications; it prepares instructors to hold space emotionally and spiritually for pregnant women, empowering them during this transformative time.

The conversation delves into the process of creating a yoga teacher training, emphasizing the importance of having a solid foundation in yoga, a clear vision, and a supportive community. Vanessa highlights the significance of feeling “ready” and having a community of students eager for the training, as these are key to the success of any educational program.

For those considering specializing in prenatal yoga, Paola and Vanessa’s training offers not only comprehensive knowledge but also the opportunity to join a community dedicated to making a difference. They also discuss the broader impact of such training, noting that even if participants do not plan to exclusively teach prenatal yoga, the knowledge gained is invaluable for any yoga teacher.

The Blissful Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training is set to begin in September and will be available in multiple locations, with plans to expand internationally. This program is open to certified yoga teachers and experienced practitioners, including physical therapists and doulas, who are ready to deepen their practice and offer specialized support to expectant mothers.

Arianne wraps up the podcast with a heartfelt discussion on the deeper purpose behind the training. Both Paola and Vanessa express their wish for participants to feel inspired and empowered to share their knowledge, ultimately contributing to a world where yoga supports every phase of life.

If you’re ready to embark on this transformative journey and become a prenatal yoga teacher, visit their website for more details and to sign up for the September training. Don’t miss the chance to make a meaningful impact in the lives of women and families through yoga.
