The Sanskrit word Mamata means “mother’s love”  or “affection” in English, which is a beautiful symbolic reference for this 85 hour, comprehensive pre-natal yoga teacher training program.

The intention behind this program is to unite and create a dynamic group of professional yoga teachers, mothers, nurses, doulas and midwives who are passionate about creating a mindful connection between mother and baby during the process of pregnancy as well as labour and delivery.

Pre-natal yoga classes are currently among the most popular specified classes offered at studio’s or privately.  Expectant mothers are seeking out qualified yoga instructors to ensure safe and effective yoga asana to sooth physical and emotional changes as well, specialized techniques such as pranayama and meditation for a more focused and calming birthing experience.

Upon completion of this program, the trainees will be registered and certified as a RPYT (Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher) through the Yoga Alliance. Some requirements are needed to apply.  Please email for more detailed information.
