Online Trainings Since 2017
In 2017 we decided to provide online versions of our yoga teacher training as we were getting requests from people who could not travel to our ashrams.
I was intrigued by the outcome, so we created this online version to see where the virtual journey would take us. When we announced it on social media, we were bombarded with negative comments; some believed it was impossible to learn yoga online.
The outcome surprised us all. Within the first six months, more than a thousand practitioners had already enrolled in our online training program.
Hundreds of five-star reviews gave us confidence, and regular feedback helped us refine the online course to make it entirely user-friendly, with added value for our students.

Online Graduates Reviews
Course Instructor,
Lucia Seglie
(ERYT 500, RPYT 500 and YACEP with 6000 hours of teaching experience)
I am thankful for the gift of yoga in my life. I’ve been helping people transform their lives with the science of yoga for over two decades, and discover the life-changing gift of yoga for themselves.
After a long and difficult period, I found my purpose when I began teaching yoga, and I love to help people find their joy through the work I do. Now I help people with my 23 years of knowledge and teaching experience so they can find joy and happiness through yoga in a safe and effective manner.
Growing up in India, I assisted many yoga teachers, and I always felt something was missing in how they trained yoga teachers. It is one thing to have a good self-practice and another to have the skill needed to help others.
So I decided to create high standards yoga teacher training courses that will be to the point and will teach the practical skills essential to train and teach efficiently. This is why Arhanta exists.
I see yoga as a way to master the five senses, so I named the ashram ‘Arhanta Yoga,’ the yoga to master the five senses!
This passion to help others succeed drives all of us at Arhanta.

Frequently asked questions
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.
Prenatal Yoga typically begins in the second trimester, usually after the 12-week scan and with approval from a midwife. We recommend this period because the first trimester carries a higher risk of complications, and many women experience fatigue or morning sickness.
However, regular yoga practitioners who have their healthcare provider’s approval may start Prenatal Yoga earlier—it depends on the mother and their pregnancy journey. The key is to ensure both mother and baby’s safety and comfort when beginning any prenatal exercise routine.
Becoming a certified Prenatal Yoga instructor not only benefits expectant mothers but your career as a yoga teacher.
For mothers-to-be, you provide essential support during pregnancy. Your specialized knowledge helps them maintain a safe practice, alleviates common discomforts, and prepares them for childbirth. You create a nurturing environment where women can connect with their changing bodies and developing babies.
From a career perspective, a Prenatal Yoga certification expands your teaching opportunities. Pregnant women make up a large, always-growing part of the yoga community. Many regular practitioners want to continue their practice safely during pregnancy, while others are drawn to yoga specifically for the benefits of Prenatal Yoga. By offering Prenatal Yoga classes, you retain existing students and attract new ones.
The pregnancy yoga journey doesn’t end with birth. Many women come back after having their babies for Postnatal Yoga, during new pregnancies, or join Mom and Baby Yoga classes. With your skills to help mothers and pregnant women, you’ll be there for them at each step of this special journey.

While this Prenatal Yoga instructor course is designed as a standalone program, we recommend having a 200-hour yoga teacher training under your belt, preferably in Hatha Yoga.
A 200-hour course gives you a solid foundation in asanas and boosts your teaching confidence. It covers a wide range of general yoga knowledge, while this Prenatal Yoga online course dives deep into the specifics of teaching yoga to pregnant women safely and professionally.
That’s why these shorter courses are often called Continuing Education. But don’t worry—if you have experience in teaching, yoga, or pregnancy support, you can jump right into this course without any previous formal yoga education.
After this course, you’ll be a confident and certified Pregnancy Yoga instructor. You’ll have the skills and deeper understanding to:
Guide pregnant students safely through their practice
Craft tailored classes for each trimester and address common pregnancy issues
Use yoga props effectively to support and adjust pregnant bodies
Master breathing techniques beneficial for pregnancy and postpartum
Create a welcoming, supportive environment for expectant mothers
Arhanta Yoga is also a Registered Yoga School with the Yoga Alliance and several other international yoga associations, which means our 85-Hour Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training program isn’t just any certification. When you graduate, you can register as an RPYT (Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher). This certification is recognized worldwide, opening doors for you to teach in studios across the globe.
You can start right after enrolling in the course. There’s also no need to rush. You’ve got lifetime access, so you can even start six months down the road if that works better for you.
As for how long it takes, that’s up to you. Some students finish our Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training online in as little as eight days, while others take their time. We use a drip method to release content, ensuring you absorb the material properly. Most students, studying part-time, finish up in about 2-4 weeks.
Props play a key role in Prenatal Yoga, so you’ll need a few items to follow along with our lessons. Don’t worry if you don’t have specialized yoga equipment—you can easily use household items instead. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Yoga mat (or any mat or large towel you have at home)
- 2 Yoga blocks (or a couple of thick books)
- 1 Blanket
- 1 Yoga bolster (or 2 bed pillows)
- 1 Yoga strap (or a towel/long scarf)
These props will help you understand how to support and adjust pregnant bodies during practice.
This online course covers 85 hours of study and practice time. If you are registered with Yoga Alliance as an RYT, you can also claim these hours as Continuing Education hours.
Throughout the Prenatal Yoga online course, you’ll find simple quizzes to check your understanding and learning so far. There’s also a final exam at the end. You will need to pass them to complete the course, but you can take them as many times as you need.
We’ve set it up this way to make sure you have a solid foundation of the pregnant body and how to teach and modify Prenatal Yoga classes for various students.
Once you’ve completed the last chapter and passed the final exam, your certificate will be ready for you to download right away. There’s no need to wait or pay anything extra—it’s all included in your course fee.
This Prenatal Yoga certification is accredited by the Yoga Alliance and several other international yoga associations, qualifying you to teach in studios globally.
This course comes with lifetime access to the online Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Training materials and all future updates.

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
