Don’t Settle for CPD Hours: Get Certified as a Registered Pregnancy Yoga Teacher

How to Choose the Right Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training (What Most People Don’t Know)

If you’re feeling called to support women during one of the most powerful transitions in life — pregnancy, birth, and early motherhood — you may be considering a pregnancy yoga teacher training. But not all trainings are created equal.

In fact, many courses out there are simply classed as Continuing Professional Development (CPD), a few hours here or there, often without any clear pathway to recognised certification. These can be informative, yes. But they often leave you with more questions than confidence when it comes to actually teaching pregnant students safely and effectively.

So how do you know you’re choosing the right training?

Let’s break it down.

✅ What to Look for in a Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training

When researching a training, ask yourself:

• Is it Yoga Alliance approved?
  Only trainings that meet specific standards can offer a formal certification as a Registered Pregnancy Yoga Teacher (RPYT). This means you’ll be recognised internationally and your training will hold real weight.
• Is it a full 85-hour program?
  Yoga Alliance requires a minimum of 85 hours to register as an RPYT. Anything less may be useful CPD, but it won’t qualify you for official certification.
• Is it taught by experienced facilitators?
  Look for trainers who walk their talk — with real-life experience supporting pregnant and postpartum women, and who are qualified to deliver content rooted in both tradition and modern science.
• Does it offer a comprehensive curriculum?
  A robust training should include:
  • Anatomy & physiology of pregnancy and birth
  • Breathwork, movement, and meditation tailored to each trimester
  • Emotional support tools
  • Modifications for common conditions
  • Teaching methodology and class planning
  • Insights into the postpartum journey
