Online Pre-Natal Yoga Teacher Training
Pregnancy is a sacred journey that calls for gentle, intentional yoga — not a high-intensity practice. Our Online Pre-Natal Yoga Teacher Training is designed for expecting mothers seeking safe self-practice and for yoga teachers who want to confidently support women through every trimester — live from Rishikesh, in the comfort of home.
Combining traditional prenatal asana, therapeutic pranayama, nutrition guidance, meditation and mantra, this online course honours the ancient yogic understanding of pregnancy — preparing the body for birth, calming the mind and creating deep connection between mother and baby.

No. While the course is designed for both existing teachers and expectant mothers, prior yoga experience is helpful. Existing RYT 200 graduates can use this course toward Yoga Alliance RPYT credentialing.
You need basic English to comfortably attend our yoga course. At least 6 months of prior yoga practice is recommended. Expectant mothers should consult their doctor before joining.
You have a full year of course access. After the live block ends, you continue with self-paced recorded modules at your own rhythm.
If you already hold an RYT 200, register on the Yoga Alliance website, upload both your RYT 200 and Prenatal certificates, and Yoga Alliance verifies with us. Once approved you can register as RPYT (Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher).
- All course videos are streamed through our online learning platform — play any module one by one and study at your own pace
- You also get live Zoom classes with full meeting credentials sent to your registered email
- We add every enrolled student to a private WhatsApp group so the teaching team can resolve doubts directly
Yes. The course is designed trimester by trimester with specific safe sequences for each stage. Expectant mothers should always consult their doctor before starting any new practice and inform us at registration so the teaching team can support you appropriately.
Our online cohorts typically have around 20 to 40 students from across the world — small enough for personal attention, large enough for a rich shared community.
Surprisingly well — you stay in the comfort of your home, practise on familiar mats, and the teaching depth is undiluted. The Zoom classes are interactive, with real-time alignment feedback for safe prenatal modifications, and the recorded modules let you revisit any concept.
A computer, laptop, tablet or smartphone with a stable internet connection is enough. Yoga props such as a bolster, blocks and a blanket are very helpful for prenatal practice.
Every live class is recorded, so a few days away from your studies are no problem. Resume whenever you can and complete the course within your one-year window.
All textbooks and manuals are provided as e-books inside your student portal. You do not need to buy anything extra; if a teacher recommends a specific book you may choose to purchase it on your own.
Yes — students who genuinely need assistance can reach out to our team directly and we will discuss flexible options on a case-by-case basis.
There are no refunds for online course fees once paid. Please review our schedule, programme and student feedback carefully before booking. If you cannot attend a particular month, you can postpone your live cohort to a future month at no cost.
You can register at any time. Expectant mothers are encouraged to begin in the first or early second trimester for the fullest benefit; teachers can join anytime.
