Prenatal Yoga CPD

Pregnancy is a powerful and sensitive time of change. Supporting women through it as a yoga teacher calls for more than general knowledge: it needs specialist understanding, confidence and care.

This three-day CPD helps you guide pregnant students safely through each stage of pregnancy, and create classes that feel empowering, nurturing and supportive. Whether you want to expand your teaching or deepen your knowledge of women’s health, it gives you the tools to make a difference at a life-changing time.

What we’ll cover

Across the three days you’ll explore the foundations of safe, effective prenatal yoga, combining theory with practice:

• The benefits of a prenatal yoga practice
• Adapting yoga for pregnancy in general or specialist classes
• The pregnant body: changes across each trimester
• Pelvic floor awareness and support
• Anatomy: how the body and baby develop through pregnancy
• Sequencing for prenatal classes
• Trimester-specific guidance and asana adaptations
• Pranayama and meditation for pregnancy
• Common conditions, health concerns, and when to modify or refer
• An introduction to acupuncture points to support labour preparation
• Practice teaching to build confidence
• Marketing and ethics when working with pregnant students
