Who Is This Pre and Postnatal Yoga Training For?

This course welcomes anyone who wants to develop their understanding of pregnancy and postpartum yoga. You do not need a 200-hour qualification to join for personal learning or partner support. Only participants who have completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training are eligible to receive the teaching certificate after successfully completing this course. Contact the school to discuss how the program fits your experience and goals.

Teachers with pregnant students in general classes: Explore how to offer adaptations, use props and respond to different needs without assuming every student has the same experience.

Teachers planning specialist classes: Develop your approach to prenatal and postnatal sequencing, communication and class preparation.

Teachers offering private sessions: Learn to consider individual preferences and changing energy levels when planning one-to-one yoga sessions.

Midwives, doulas, and healthcare practitioners: Join to deepen your understanding of yoga-based support within your existing professional role. To receive the yoga teaching certificate, you must also have completed a 200-hour yoga teacher training and successfully complete this course.

A Teaching Perspective That Includes Nutrition and Well-Being

Katharina Austermann, PhD, and Yogi Sandeep Atri bring nutrition and yoga teaching perspectives to Anandam’s program. Read Katharina’s teacher profile and the course page for their backgrounds and program information.

For yoga teachers, the practical focus is adapting classes thoughtfully, recognizing the limits of yoga teaching and knowing when a student’s questions require a qualified healthcare professional.

What to Look For in a Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training

Compare the depth of prenatal and postnatal study, teaching practice, entry requirements, language, accommodation and total fees. A short module within a general YTT and a dedicated residential training can serve different learning goals.

Anandam’s Germany program is a dedicated 100-hour residential course covering both pregnancy and the postpartum period. Its November format gives you 10 calendar days of training with 9 nights of accommodation.

What the Pre and Postnatal Yoga Training Covers

The program explores prenatal and postnatal yoga teaching. See the full course curriculum for the detailed program.

Pregnancy Anatomy and Physiology

Explore changes during pregnancy and how awareness of these changes informs yoga class planning, the use of props and individual adaptations.

Trimester-Specific Practice and Sequencing

Study how teaching approaches can change across the trimesters, including positioning, movement choices, rest and breath awareness. Practice offering options rather than a single sequence for every student.

Pelvic Floor Awareness

Explore pelvic floor anatomy and appropriate language for awareness in yoga classes. Distinguish yoga teaching from assessment or rehabilitation provided by a qualified healthcare professional.

Adaptations, Comfort and Referral Boundaries

Consider supportive class adaptations and when a student’s pain, symptoms or medical questions need referral rather than a yoga-based solution.

Breath Awareness and Birth Preparation

Explore breathing, relaxation and supportive movement as part of prenatal yoga teaching, while keeping each student’s preferences and healthcare guidance in view.

Postnatal Yoga and the Fourth Trimester

Consider rest, changing energy levels, individual recovery and a gradual return to practice. Learn to plan supportive classes without diagnosing or treating pelvic floor conditions or abdominal separation.
