Is this a Yoga Alliance accredited course?  Yes, this is a Yoga Alliance accredited 85-hour Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training.

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 the community and study the PYC methodology in action!
