Is this a Yoga Alliance accredited course? Yes, this is a Yoga Alliance accredited 85-hour Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training.
Is there a specific start date for the course? Yes, there are two live weekends you must attend to complete the course. Depending on the training you chose, the live weekends will either be in person or online via Zoom.
When do we get access to the Membership site? The Membership site contains all your materials for this training (the teacher training manual, videos, podcasts and homework assignments.) This will be released one month prior to our first live weekend together. The release of the Membership site marks the beginning of the training.
Do I need to have completed a foundational 200-hour teaching? Yes, we do require you to have completed a 200 hour training prior to participating in this advanced training. Teacher trainees will be doing many hours of practice teaching.
Can I still teach prenatal yoga if I haven’t had a baby? Absolutely! Birth is NOT a pre-requite for being an empathic and capable prenatal yoga teacher.
Do you offer a payment plan or scholarship? Yes, we offer individually tailored payment plans to fit your needs. We also offer a BIPOC scholarship. Click HERE for more details on the scholarship.
Do I get to take or observe classes? Yes, after our first live weekend together, you will be given an 8 class card so you can take or observe classes. This allows you to immerse yourself in our robust prenatal community and study the PYC methodology in action!
How are teacher trainees supported during and after the training? You will have access to our private Facebook group dedicated to our past and present teacher trainees. Over 300 PYC graduates are part of this online community and are able to ask and answer questions for each other. This group is also moderated by PYC and offers weekly information and articles to support your continued education.
We also have Zoom “Office Hours” once a month with Ellyn Gerry. Ellyn curates this meet up with a new topic every month and allows time to address questions and concerns that may arises during the training or your teaching experience.
We also have a new mentorship program. Past teacher training graduates attend the program and provide extra support to current teacher trainees. During the training, they have dedicated hours each week for you to ask questions and get extra practice or study time. You can think of them as your wise friend offering some extra help!
