Level-up your teaching
Do you feel confident in supporting postnatal students who are coming to your classes? Would you like to offer yoga classes for Parents and Babies? Then please join Tara and Clare for this two-day training covering everything you need to know. Tara and Clare have been teaching pre and post-natal teacher training courses for many years, and have seen time and again that teachers grow in confidence when they understand the physiology and principles that are taking place during this extraordinary time of life.
About the course
With 80% of women experiencing pregnancy in their lifetime, understanding how to support and respond to the specific needs of any postnatal students is essential for yoga teachers. When we understand what it means to be ‘postnatal’ we can serve our students with greater clarity and precision, from the early stages post birth, through to years later.
Would you like to start teaching specific classes for postnatal women or parents with their babies? This course will help you discover how to support postnatal women and how to teach postnatal or parent & baby yoga classes.

Who is this training for?
It is also open to professionals who work with the pregnancy and post-natal population, however, this will not certify you to teach yoga if you are not qualified as a yoga teacher. Bodyworkers, pilates teachers, fitness instructors, and any pregnancy educators are welcome to join us to understand and experience post-natal yoga.
Can I do one day of the training?
Yes! You can do Day 1, ‘the fundamentals’, on its own. If you have previously completed a 1 day Postnatal training you are welcome to join for Day 2 only.
