Most foundation yoga teacher training courses devote at best a couple of hours on how to adjust a yoga practice to accommodate a pregnant woman. Yet the likelihood is at some point most yoga teachers will probably find that one of their regular students becomes pregnant or a pregnant woman unexpectedly joins the class.
Concern or fear when teaching yoga to a pregnant woman is an all too common problem for yoga teachers.
This self-led study, online CPD will give you the confidence to safely and effectively integrate a pregnant woman into your general yoga classes, using easy-to-remember principles of support, soften and space. You will also be able to advise a woman when a general yoga class may not be suitable during her pregnancy.
This course is for yoga teachers who want to feel confident in teaching yoga to a pregnant woman within a general yoga class.

Hi I'm Amy
I've had the privilege of teaching pregnancy yoga for over 12 years. In this time I've taught 100s of women and bumps!
I would love to support you in feeling confident to include a pregnant woman in your general yoga classes.
Sometimes there isn't access to a dedicated pregnancy yoga class or she would simply like to carry on in her regular yoga class with you!
I've been teaching yoga since 2008, and training and mentoring yoga teachers since 2017.
Prior to my life as a yoga teacher, I taught in secondary schools for 12 years, and in that time trained school teachers.
One way or another I have been involved in training, teaching and education for my whole career, and it would be my honour to support you.
