Our Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training program has been broken down into 3 modules. When students participate in all three modules and the Postnatal module you will have the opportunity to become a Yoga Alliance Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher.
We built this training so you have the flexibility to complete the modules you are most interested in or dive deep into them all! Each module is 16 hours in length.
