Yoga teacher course during pregnancy

Yoga Teacher Training
#1

Hi,

Could you please tell me if it is possible to complete yoga teacher course (with the exam)while you are pregnant? If it is possible, up to what month would it be ok to do?

Thanks!

Hello & welcome to the forum :-)!

I don’t now the answer, I can just tell you that my friend from teacher program just told us after holidays that she is pregnant. We are now in the last (third) year, which will finish in June. She will give birth in March. But she is practising yoga already for many years. Our teacher is very supportive and she is for now just normally continuing program.

What is your situation?

It’s absolutely possible! And it gives you one step above the rest because you’re going to learn how to modify your practice safely and can therefore help other pregnant yogis who want to keep practicing!

Hi,

I have asked this question before but I thought I’d post it again and see other opinions. Could you please tell me if it is possible to complete yoga teacher course (with the exam)while you are pregnant? If it is possible, up to what month would it be ok to do?

Thanks!

Hello Yogi,

You ask if it is “possible” and the direct answer to that is “yes”. However a more evolved reply would depend on the training you are referencing and the exam within it. It seems that no two teacher trainings are alike. If you are asking “can I complete an Ashtanga training while pregnant” AND that training will span into your second and third trimester then I’d say it is ill-advised. If you are asking if you can complete a Yogafit Level 1 training (20 hours) then you could most likely do so while pregnant.

Again, the answer to your question depends on the nature, design, and quality of the specific teacher training YOU are referencing.

Namaste,

Obviously you must have some concerns if you post the same question twice. I think people will be able to better assist you with answers if you share your concerns with us. In other words deep down, what is bothering you about this training that it is important enough to repeat your question?
