Postnatal & Baby Yoga CPD
20 hours
Saturday 5th December – Sunday 6th December 2026
The postnatal period is a deeply transformative time—physically, emotionally, and energetically. As yoga teachers, having the knowledge and confidence to support new parents safely and compassionately is invaluable.
This two-day CPD gives you the tools to guide mothers through recovery, rebuild strength, and nurture connection with their baby. You’ll learn how to hold space for healing, while also creating engaging, supportive classes that meet the real needs of modern families.

Over the weekend, we’ll explore both postnatal recovery yoga and parent & baby yoga, blending evidence-based knowledge with practical teaching skills:
- The postnatal timeline and safe return to movement
- Physical and emotional recovery after birth
- Anatomy of the postnatal body, including the first 6 weeks
- Pelvic floor awareness and core rehabilitation
- Sequencing for:
- Mum-only postnatal classes
- Parent & baby yoga classes
- Baby engagement techniques and developmental awareness
- Pranayama and meditation for nervous system regulation
- Safety considerations, contraindications, and common conditions
