Postnatal and Baby Yoga CPD

The postnatal period is a deeply transformative time, physically, emotionally and energetically. As a yoga teacher, 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 to hold space for healing, while creating engaging, supportive classes that meet the needs of modern families.

What we’ll cover

Over the weekend we explore both postnatal recovery yoga and parent and baby yoga, blending evidence-based knowledge with practical teaching skills:

• The postnatal timeline and a 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, and for parent and baby classes
• Baby engagement techniques and developmental awareness
• Pranayama and meditation for nervous system regulation
• Safety considerations, contraindications and common conditions
• Practice teaching to build confidence
• Marketing and ethics when working with postnatal clients

What you’ll be able to do

• Design and deliver safe, effective postnatal yoga classes
• Support recovery after different birth experiences
• Bring babies into classes in a way that feels natural and inclusive
• Adapt practices for a wide range of postnatal needs
• Use breathwork and mindfulness to support emotional wellbeing
• Create a nurturing, community-focused class
• Expand your teaching into a meaningful and in-demand area
