An online Pre and Postnatal (pregnancy, perinatal) Yoga Teacher Training Diploma course, which fulfils the Yoga Alliance's CE non-contact three-year requirement (20 CE’s). The course is for yoga teachers, midwives, fitness professionals, NCT teachers, childbirth educators, physiotherapists, chiropractors and health care professionals wanting to specialise in teaching yoga for pregnancy. The course has been running since 2005, and there are now well over 100 graduates in the UK, Europe, Scandinavia, the US, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Saudi Arabia and Singapore.
Pregnancy is a window of opportunity when most women are particularly interested in looking after their own health, and that of their growing baby. Antenatal yoga is recommended by midwives as one of the best ways to prepare for pregnancy and childbirth.
 The Course
This online course consists of 6 fully illustrated modules, each with a 4-question assignment. The emphasis is on safe, appropriate asana practice, meditation, pranayama, and relaxation. Yoga helps to minimize the discomforts of pregnancy by improving circulation, reducing fluid retention and aches and pains, increasing energy levels and breath awareness, and strengthening the mind and body in preparation for labour. A more gentle, reflective practice is recommended during pregnancy; it is the perfect time to turn the attention inwards, perhaps for the first time.
Coming to classes gives mums-to-be the time and space to connect with their babies, to acknowledge and deal with any anxieties about childbirth, and to be part of a great group of women who are all in the same boat. Pregnancy yoga classes teach women how to prepare for a healthy pregnancy and an active, conscious birth, in a warm, supportive and fun environment.
Jane personally mentors every student, except those from the US and Canada who are mentored by Linda Antignani, and those from Australia, who are mentored by Amanda Chow; when you enroll you will be corresponding with them frequently as they mark your assignments and answer any questions you may have. Their support and advice will help you to get the most out of the course. On graduation, you will have the necessary skills and resources to teach with authority, confident that you are offering well-informed, safe teaching and advice in a friendly, nurturing environment dedicated to mums to be.
