Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training Course

Pregnancy transforms a woman’s body, mind, and spirit at the same time – and it is important to have soft and knowledgeable support throughout this journey. Our YACEP-accredited pre- & postnatal yoga instructor training in Ubud, Bali prepares confident and caring instructors who know how to lead women on their way through the two stages of becoming a mother. Bringing new life into the world is one of the biggest transformations any woman goes through. Although there is joy and happiness, it also has hormonal changes, mood changes, and physical tension, as well as moments of uncertainty.

The postpartum phase challenges the body and the mind of a woman just as much, if not more than pregnancy. Thus, the prenatal and postnatal yoga course offered in Bali equally emphasizes both states of existence - not only nine months of being pregnant, but also the recovery and rehabilitation. Steeped in the age-old yogic and Ayurvedic teachings, the program makes use of the knowledge collected over centuries when it comes to supporting women before and after giving birth.

The benefits of the completed course allow graduates to gain certain skills needed for creating a safe, supportive atmosphere for all women in need, including mothers-to-be and mothers of newborns. The key issues taught during the course include pregnancy-safe asanas, anatomy and physiology of reproductive organs, special breathing techniques for specific trimesters of pregnancy, meditation and mantras.

Prenatal Yoga Session

After completing this program, you will have a clear grasp of how pregnancy changes a woman’s body, hormones affect energy levels and equilibrium in addition to how the female reproductive system is restored after childbirth. Our qualified trainers will introduce specific yoga techniques that are useful in combining childbirth and the postpartum period - the time when the body recuperates and the energy is low. Mood swings, tiredness, and anxiety are typical parts of pregnancy and new motherhood. Our courses in prenatal and postnatal yoga enable students to learn the techniques of yoga that will be of assistance in dealing with such uncomfortable feelings simultaneously with low back pain, swelling and other conditions that often arise after birth and prevent new parents from re-establishing their balance. The methodology used at our training courses is based on the principles of traditional Ayurvedic medicine and yoga - a woman is a giver of life and has a particular energy that should be balanced.

गर्भस्थशिशोः सौख्याय मातृदेहस्य संतुलनम्। For the comfort of the growing baby, the mother's body finds balance.

Prenatal Yoga

What is Pre-Natal Yoga?

The prenatal yoga exercise is directed towards pregnant ladies and helps them to face various issues caused by pregnancy. Ubud Yoga Ashram offers personalized prenatal yoga sessions which are designed according to the trimester as your body goes through real physical and emotional changes. The practice is therapeutic, brings the energy and allows the body to become stronger to have a smoother birth.

What is Post-Natal Yoga?

When the baby is born, it does not mean the changes are over. In fact, the postpartum period may be even more demanding. New mothers need proper professional help. Postnatal yoga allows relieving physical tension, regaining strength of abdominal and pelvic muscles, and bringing life energy back.
