Overview

Many women want to continue their yoga practice during pregnancy. Prenatal yoga helps individuals before and after they give birth, as well as during the birthing process. The breathing and body awareness developed through yoga helps women stay connected to their changing bodies. The stretches and postures help relieve back pain common during pregnancy, and help develop the strength and stamina necessary for giving birth. Yoga helps develop an overall healthier body, making it easier to bounce back after birth. However, if you are unaware of the precautions recommended for pregnant students, you may be putting your students or yourself at risk. Whether you are a yoga teacher, or are pregnant yourself, it is important that you know how to practice yoga safely during pregnancy.

Our prenatal yoga education programs focus on developing your ability to provide pregnant women with safe, effective, and fun yoga practices throughout every stage of their pregnancy. The program emphasizes positive teaching techniques, proper sequencing, safety considerations, and easy modifications to make each class a fun and rewarding experience for everyone. Finally, you will learn not only how to create safe programs, but how to make those yoga practices transformative for your students or yourself during this special time in life.

Our online program is suitable for:

  • Yoga teachers who want to add prenatal yoga classes to their teaching schedule.
  • Yoga teachers who want to be prepared for any prenatal students who may attend their regular classes.
  • Pregnant women who have practiced yoga and want to continue their practice during their pregnancy.
  • Medical and health professionals or childbirth educators who work with pregnant women (physicians, nurses, midwives, doulas, etc).

The Benefits of Yoga For Pregnant Women

  • Improved strength, flexibility, and endurance
  • Reduced back pain and sciatica
  • Relieving stress and anxiety
  • Improved sleep
  • Improved breathing and lung capacity
  • Better digestion
  • Help in maintaining and improving posture

These are just a few of the many benefits for pregnant women when they learn yoga from you.

What Our Students Say

What do past graduates say about the program?

At Yoga Education Institute, I not only became a certified yoga instructor, my entire yoga practice was transformed. Nancy Wile is a detailed, patient, and positive teacher, who helped bring out each of our voices, our individual personalities, and our essence. I was able to move from being very shy to feeling confident in myself and in my ability to teach yoga. With the warm and practical environment she creates, I was able to safely discover my own niche as a teacher. Her format of presenting the anatomy and physiology of yoga is accessible and easy to learn. I could not imagine having a more productive and precise teacher.
