Why Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga is a Great Niche with Deb Flashenberg

This week on the podcast I am joined by Deb Flashenberg. Deb is the founder and director of the Prenatal Yoga Center in NYC. Along with being a prenatal yoga teacher, she is also a labor support doula, Lamaze childbirth educator, mother of two and self proclaimed "birth and anatomy geek”. For the past 7 years, Deb has also greatly enjoyed being the host of the podcast, Yoga | Birth | Babies, where she speaks with some of the world’s leading experts in pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and parenthood. In this week's episode, we are talking all things prenatal and postnatal! Deb shares where her passion for perinatal support came from, what inspired her to open the Prenatal Yoga Center, why getting a prenatal yoga teacher training is a great idea for all yoga teachers, why prenatal and postnatal yoga is a great niche, business lessons she's learned through her career, and more!

Enjoy!
