How is Prenatal Yoga different from regular yoga?
The main difference between Prenatal Yoga and regular Hatha Yoga is that poses and exercises are designed specifically for the needs of pregnant women.

Prenatal Yoga classes typically emphasize safety, using modified Prenatal Yoga poses to accommodate changing pregnant bodies and avoid strain. The practice includes gentle stretching, breathing exercises, and pelvic floor strengthening, all aimed at easing pregnancy discomforts and preparing for childbirth. 

Unlike regular yoga, which may feature more challenging poses and faster sequences, Prenatal Yoga moves at a slower pace and excludes positions that could be risky during pregnancy. It also creates a supportive environment for expectant mothers, addressing their unique physical and emotional needs throughout pregnancy.

Amazing course & teacher!! Posted 1 month ago

A very well-structured course, with clear, detailed and practical explanations. Living close to Arhanta Milan, I had the privilege of meeting Lucia in person and completing my previous TTC with her, as well as attending further trainings and classes. She is an extremely knowledgeable, meticulous and attentive teacher, always making sure every detail is understood. Highly recommended!

Nice Course Posted 3 months ago

Nice course, Lucia is clear in her explanation and she answer quickly in case of doubts.
I would only suggest to review the alignment between the voice over and the slides in some videos or between the order of the videos and the order in the manual. There a few misalignments which are not nice and make it more difficult to follow.
I would recommend the course

Ottimo corso e bellissima esperienza Posted 4 months ago

Ho seguito questo corso da professionista a contatto con il materno infantile ma non esperta di yoga. Lo ho trovato completo e ben strutturato. Lucia riesce a spiegare i concetti in modo molto efficace e semplice, la mia preoccupazione era non capire come effettuare le correzioni e a corso concluso questa preoccupazione era infondata. Inoltre Lucia riesce a coinvolgere con la sua grande passione.

Great course but room for improvement Posted 5 months ago

I loved this course and I especially love about the Arhanta online courses that you can always refer back to the videos, which is super helpfull when prepping classes when you just start teaching prenatal classes. That said, as it is a teacher training I would expect a LOT more assignments to be checked by the teacher. You are for example never checked on your actual teaching.

Dissapointing Posted 6 months ago

I completed this overpriced €550 yoga course but found it disappointing. Support was lacking (e.g. no webinars) despite website promises. Instructions were inconsistent (e.g. sweating, inversions), with unclear or contradictory guidance. Content had errors, weak explanations, quizes had error "no twists", and sometimes poor English. Final assignments weren’t (properly) reviewed.

Built the Confidence in Teaching Prenatal Posted 10 months ago

I found this online prenatal yoga course very informative, with a good balance of theory and practical guidance. The videos clearly demonstrate class preparation, teaching approach, class setup, and the effective use of props for asanas and resting poses. The well-structured sections also make it easy to revisit key topics when needed.

Totalmente recomendable. Posted 1 year ago

Un curso completo, hace que te sientas segura, paso a paso casi sin darte cuenta te sumerges totalmente en la energía del embarazo. Lucía transmite muy bien su pasión y entrega y está ahí para cualquier duda que tengas. Mi nivel de inglés es muy básico y por eso pensé en no hacerlo, pero al final me decidí y gracias a los subtítulos he podido seguir el curso a mi ritmo. Feliz de haberlo hecho.

Arhanta stands for high quality Yoga Posted 2 years ago

I'm half way through the course. I like how it builds up in information and practice. 85 hours feels like a solid foundation to start teaching Prenatal classes later. Lucia explains everything patiently. Just as I expected from my 3th course with Arhanta. I'm very happy I took the step to continue my education and to be able to do it in this flexible way.

This is a high-quality and well-organised course that also helped me consolidate my learnings from my previous 200-hour teacher training. Lucia is a really professional teacher who cares that her students learn well in order to practise safely. Nothing is skipped or rushed. The exam is also well structured to help revise and apply the learnings to real life scenarios. Highly recommended.
