Program Details

For yoga teachers, doulas, midwives, and yoga practitioners with a strong yoga practice who work with pregnant women.

Learn how to help pregnant women enhance their experience of pregnancy, childbirth, and beyond. You learn the anatomy and physiology of the growing fetus and how this produces changes in the mother’s body during each trimester. Every morning of this 35-hour training begins with a prenatal yoga class in which you wear a "pregnant belly" for each trimester to simulate the experience of moving in a prenatal body. Class is followed by theory, practical application, and practice teaching.

Topics include

  • Fetal development
  • Physiological and hormonal changes in the mother’s body
  • Tools to help moms-to-be respond to these changes
  • Appropriate asanas, assists, pranayama, sounding, and meditation for each trimester.

    • Leave confident about leading and sequencing a prenatal yoga class, including language, visualization, partner prenatal yoga, and hands-on assists. In addition, you learn ways to market yourself as a prenatal yoga teacher, and other opportunities in this realm of yoga.

    Note Tuition includes a manual. A pre-training assignment can be found here.
