Yoga Alliance Certified
We are a Registered Prenatal Yoga School (RPYS) through Yoga Alliance.
On the completion of this training, you will hold a prenatal yoga teacher certificate from our school, should you choose to take the Yoga Teacher Track (see FAQs below for more info).
FAQs
- Where can I teach Prenatal Yoga?
With this certification you will be able to teach at yoga studios, gyms and fitness centers, OB/GYN offices, chiropractor's offices, birthing centers and private residences.
- Are there any pre-requisites for this training?
No. You do not need any prior knowledge or need to hold any certifications for this program.
*If you wish to register with Yoga Alliance as a prenatal yoga teacher (RPYT), you will need to complete a 200 hour yoga teacher training either before or after your prenatal yoga training. It is not necessary to do so, you will still hold a certificate from our school which prepares you fully to teach pregnant students.
- What if I need to miss one of the training weekends?
We allow one full training day to be missed with private makeup sessions at no cost. It is the responsibility of the trainee to make up missed contact hours on their time. If more than 8.5 hours are missed, participant must retake the training the following year at no cost to them.
Missing more than 17 hours requires the participant to retake the training at cost to them.
- What if I have no interest in teaching yoga, is this training still applicable to me?
Yes! We have students in the training that are in search of a deeper understanding of pregnancy and yoga and wish to strengthen their knowledge for personal reasons only.
- How many contact hours is this program?
It depends on which track you take.
We are now offering two tracks to meet the different needs of birth workers and yoga teachers.
Birth Workers Track:
- We will meet over the course of 4 weekends both Saturday and Sunday from 8-5:30pm. The total time commitment is 62 hours.
- We offer this training to birth workers at a 25% off discount.
- You will hold a certificate from our school as a Prenatal Yoga Teacher.
Yoga Teacher Track:
- We will meet over the course of 4 weekends both Saturday and Sunday from 8-5:30pm. The total time commitment is 62 hours.
- Yoga Alliance requires 75 in-person contact hours and 10 self study hours to be registered as an 85hr. RPYT (Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher).
- Therefore, you will need to obtain 13 more in-person contact hours with us to satisfy the required hours. These workshops can be attended virtually too. The additional 13 contact hours are met by attending pre/postnatal workshops with the lead teachers which are offered at various times throughout the year for the student's ease in completing the program.
- These additional 13 hours will meet Yoga Alliance's requirements for registering as a RPYT. Remember, Yoga Alliance requires that you register first as a 200 hour RYT before they will register you as a RPYT.
- These additional contact hours are at the cost of the student. The total for the workshops is $230 but we discount is 25%, so, your additional cost will be $172.50. This does not need to be paid all at once, but, can be paid as you attend. You have one year from the end of the teacher training to complete these.
- If you do not plan on registering yourself with Yoga Alliance, you do not need to complete the 13 hours, however, if you do wish to become registered with YA, you will need to complete these hours. The additional 10 hours are considered non-contact, self study hours.
