LEARN TO TEACH PREGNANCY YOGA

This pregnancy yoga teacher training course will run with a maximum of 10-12 students. The course runs over four full days of classes, spread over two weekends. There will also be a pre-recorded self-study Anatomy and Physiology module to be completed before the end of the course.

We create an environment that promotes dynamic and interactive learning from the start. In addition, we also encourage students with positive feedback, individual attention and support. Each session reflects a specific content focus. Therefore, students must attend all sessions in order to qualify to teach pregnancy yoga. Once students have completed the course, we strongly advise them to start teaching as soon as possible. This will help them to cement the connection to what they have learnt during the course.

The course is suitable for yoga teachers who already have a yoga teaching qualification. We may also consider applications from midwives and health professionals who have a regular personal yoga practice.

During the course, we cover the following topics:

• Asana, pranayama (breathing and relaxation techniques)
• Sequencing pregnancy and postnatal classes
• The dos and don’ts of pregnancy yoga
• Propping and assisting pregnant students
• Prenatal and postnatal anatomy for yoga
• Common ailments associated with pregnancy
• Setting up classes for pregnant students

Prior to the start of the Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training course, students have to do some pre-course reading and class observations. Assessment on the course is ongoing and includes:

• Observing taught classes and writing up observations
• Submitting a satisfactory class plan designed especially for pregnant women
• Teaching a class that will be observed and assessed by the course tutors

In addition to this, students are expected to attend and participate in all classes in the schedule. Should you miss a session, you will need to retake it at a later date in order to qualify to teach pregnancy yoga. Furthermore, in order to graduate from the course, students should successfully complete all assessments.

The Yoga Mama Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training course costs £800. Please note that applications to enrol on our Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training courses close 7 days before advertised course state dates.
