Frequently Asked Questions
What do past graduates say about the program?
Living in a remote area, it’s great to be able to access quality instruction like the Yoga Education Institute’s online prenatal yoga teacher training without needing to travel. I signed up for the course when I was pregnant and thoroughly enjoyed immersing myself in the program without leaving home. I’ve already started recommending these courses to friends!
Amanda Hosgood – Canada
What do past graduates say about the program?
As a Yoga teacher with no prenatal training, it was always intimidating when a pregnant student would take my class. I wasn’t prepared to offer the student a good and safe practice. The online prenatal program was perfect for me. It contains in depth knowledge of the stages of pregnancy and what poses are safe for the student to practice at each stage. The written materials are easy to understand and the videos are a big help. I highly recommend the program. I can now offer my prenatal students a challenging and safe program.
Bobby Boles
What do past graduates say about the program?
I would certainly highly recommend this course to other yoga instructors. The written information in the prenatal course was extensive and useful in all areas of yoga instruction. The information was well organized, well researched, and professionally written and presented. I found the illustrations and the video to be helpful as well. After completing the course, I felt that I had taken a graduate level course in yoga. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience in such an effective way.
Gerry Veth
What do past graduates say about the program?
Namaste! I have been teaching yoga for about four years now and it has transformed my life in more ways that I ever could have imagined. After becoming a mother, I felt called to share yoga with women during their journey into motherhood. Yoga played a big role in my pregnancies and helped me cultivate a deep breath, a beautiful mindset and an open body to carry me through. This is such a sacred and special time in a woman’s life. Prenatal Yoga will enhance the pregnancy, labor and role of being a mother in so many ways. This program is excellent for first time teachers as well as seasoned. It was a nice refresher course on anatomy and really helpful. I am very excited to start sharing this style of yoga to my expecting students. Much Love and Happiness.

What do past graduates say about the program?
I love teaching yoga and now after finishing this course i have confidence that I can teach a safe, effective, and loving class to all mommy to be’s. Thanks You!! I found your Pre Natal Yoga Course was fantastic, full of important information, not only on the asanas, but on how the student’s body goes through so many changes and how the baby is affected. The information that is provided in this course gives you confidence so you can teach a safe class. This is my second correspondence course that I have done with Yoga Education Institute and I would highly recommend it to everyone. Thank you to Nancy Wile and her team.

What do past graduates say about the program?
I found the course very systematic and perfectly structured with a profound base of knowledge of its authors. I really appreciate the insightful and factual information being provided, as well as the interactivity with the program director. The course presents well-grounded knowledge, it provides creative stimuli to be tested in the practice and keeps the necessary open space for one’s own experience. Have a wonderful day Nancy.
