Who is this Postnatal Yoga course for?
This 20-hour Postnatal Yoga certification is designed for anyone passionate about supporting women’s postpartum journey, including:
- Yoga instructors
- Midwives
- Doulas
- Women’s health coaches
- Newcomers to yoga
No previous experience is required for this foundational course. However, we recommend pairing our Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga courses together, as well as our Mom & Baby Yoga Teacher Training, for a comprehensive understanding of the pregnancy journey.
Our flexible online format also allows you to complete the course at your own pace, with lifetime access to teacher support. This makes it ideal for busy professionals or students who cannot commit to an in-person course.
What is the difference between prenatal yoga certification and postnatal yoga teacher training?
A prenatal yoga certification focuses on supporting women during pregnancy, while postnatal yoga teacher training focuses on recovery after birth. This includes safe movement, core and pelvic floor awareness, restorative practice, and class design for the postpartum period. Together, the two trainings help teachers support students through the full journey from pregnancy to recovery.
Can I take this postnatal yoga teacher training after a prenatal yoga certification online?
Yes. In fact, this course is a natural next step after a prenatal yoga certification online because it helps you continue supporting students after birth. It allows you to expand from pregnancy-focused teaching into postpartum care and professional postnatal yoga classes.
Will I learn how to structure a safe postnatal yoga class for beginners?
Can I teach both private sessions and postnatal yoga classes after completing this course?
Yes. The training is designed to help you teach both one-to-one sessions and group postnatal yoga classes, as long as you stay within your scope of practice and apply the course principles responsibly.
When is it safe for mothers to start practicing Postnatal Yoga?
Around 2-3 months postpartum, many mothers are ready to reconnect with their yoga practice. This course teaches you to guide their safe return, focusing on rebuilding core strength in the pelvic floor, abdominals, back, and glutes.
You’ll learn to design classes that not only restore physical strength but also provide a nurturing space for new mothers to bond, share experiences, and navigate the challenges of early parenthood.
Why offer both Postnatal Yoga and Mom and Baby Yoga classes?
We often hear about Pre- and Postnatal Yoga, but Mom and Baby Yoga is another essential class you can offer to support your students throughout their postpartum recovery.
Mom & Baby Yoga starts 40 days after vaginal birth or 80 days post-C-section, focusing on gentle movement and bonding. Postnatal Yoga on the other hand begins 2-3 months postpartum, helping rebuild strength and stamina.
These classes work together, providing continuous support as mothers heal and adjust. Women can attend both, allowing you to meet their changing needs in early motherhood.
Can I do this course without previous education?
Can I teach Postnatal Yoga after completion?
If you’re interested in diving deeper into the business side of yoga, consider Lucia’s advanced Yoga Business Coaching Course.
What is the course focused on?
The course focuses on the practical foundations of safe postpartum teaching, including:
- Counter breastfeeding positions
- Restorative specific postnatal practice
- Re-balanced positions
- Postnatal education of the body and posture
- Relaxations
When does the course start and finish?
You can finish the course as soon as eight days or take as long as you want. To ensure a proper learning experience, we provide the content with a drip method. Most of the students finish the course in 2-4 weeks as a part-time study.
What if I have questions during the course?
Our online Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training course comes with unlimited teacher support. For any questions during or after your study, you can contact the teacher directly.
How many hours of training does this online course provide?
This online course covers 20 hours of study and practice time. If you are registered with the Yoga Alliance as a RYT, you can also claim these hours as Continuing Education hours.
Are there any exams?
There are simple quizzes throughout the course and a final exam at the end which need a passing grade to complete the course. The quizzes and the exam can be attempted an unlimited number of times. This way we ensure that you have gained sufficient knowledge to teach Postnatal Yoga.
How do I receive the certificate after I finish the course? Is there an extra charge for it?
The certificate will automatically become available for download once you finish the last chapter and the exam. There are no extra charge for it.
How long can I access the course?
You will have lifetime access to the online postnatal yoga teacher training materials, including future course updates.

amazing course especially when you are already in the business of prenatal yoga. Thank you
I did Prenatal and Postnatal Course with Lucia and I love how detailed and with lots of attention she explains each posture, introduces the flows, points out what and where we could support the moms and also where we have to be extra careful on what to avoid. You can tell she has a lot of experience and she shares her knowledge with kindness and care. Thank you.
Thank you very much for this beautiful course. The assignments are a great help to practice more and understand and defenitely with the time more questions will arise, but I know that I can always come back and ask 🙂
My expectations were fully met. Trainer Lucia provided valuable insights into postnatal yoga practices, drawing on her knowledge and experience. The videos and audios were clear, as well as the manual (I have only encountered a few typos in the Italian version of the manual). I would have appreciated having at least one of the assignments corrected by the trainer, instead of being self-practice.
I liked the structure, everything was clear and after this course I feel ready to incorporate this spesific topic into my teaching. There were also some cue, which could be used in the regular class as well. Thank you again!
Honestly life got in the way and I thought it would be too much for me. I’m so happy I finished the courses in my own time and I am looking forward to teaching! Already got the perfect venue in Ireland. Super excited, thank you Lucia!
The course is full of information and practices. I love the course(s) because I can learn on my own time. There's a lot of information and triggers to keep on learning in the future. I feel safe and confident that I can start en teach these classes, knowing I can ask my questions any time!
Always impressed by the professional online platform. Very clear and very structured course, and the nice voice of Lucia, invites you to continue the course without delay.
What will be my next one? 🙂
I started studying with Arhanta Online Academy with the prenatal yoga teacher training. I recently finished the after pregnancy yoga course and it was a great complement to have all the knowledge and techniques to continue teaching and supporting to the moms. I really enjoyed the detail explanations about the anatomy and technique to teach to the moms. Thank you!
The course was very well structured and easy to follow. After completing the Prenatal course with Lucile a few years ago and having worked with a few mums, I then decided to expand my knowledge and offer after pregnancy yoga to mums and this course was everything I hoped it would be. Great explanations and videos so thank you. I have learnt so much and excited to put everything into practice.
This course and athe prenatal course that I've already attended are so good! It's full of practical suggestions and it give you the most important info in order to open a class right away. I love the way Lucia teaches, bringing so many real life examples and using her experience to help us starting in the best conditions.
I first did the prenatal YTT followed by the postnatal YTT, both as online course. I really liked the structure of the trainings, very logical and easy to follow. It was nice, to always see the progress, which I made. And it was helpful to know, that I can always reach out to the teacher if I have any questions or doubts. The tips and self-study assignments were helpful as well. Can only recommend
I did prenatal yoga TTC during Covid because I wanted to study but it wasn’t possible. I was so satisfied that I purchased also postnatal and yoga with baby courses.I highly recommend this courses to everyone.
Love Vanda
Come in tutti gli altri corsi tenuti da Lucia sono rimasta molto soddisfatta, le spiegazioni molto dettagliate ti portano a comprendere a pieno e in modo professionale come gestire ogni tipo e problematica che una mamma potrebbe presentare-
Grazie Lucia e Arhanta
This course made me feel that I can start my postpartum yoga classes right after I finished it. Lucia is an excellent teacher. The course is full of ideas and go-to material and that is a really good support for every teacher.
I like the energy of Lucia. You feel she like what she do and you´ll get some good new stuff for your own yoga classes. The manual is very big and it´s all you need, you can use it everey time when you need it. I like that intensive manual!
Amazing training with a lot of anatomy information that really help the teacher to understand what is going on with the mom new body and this new part of her life. It is the perfect balance for the prenatal yoga training.
Lucia is both, absolutely professional and warm-hearted in her way of teaching.
I was sceptical at first if it is possible to transport the yogic spirit online but after a few lessons I was absolutely convinced. Lucia shares so much information, knowledge and love for Yoga during the classes so it felt like she was with me, not just on screen in the video. Thank you for your way of teaching
The content of this course is so usefull and practical with all te information you really need te know.
Lucie explains everything (the do's and the dont's of every pose in such a clear way).
Lucia put together a masterpiece of Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training. There's nothing missing and exceeded all expectations!
Well structured, nice teacher
Very well structured and easy to follow. Very well explained what to do and what not to do and why.
I loved everything about this - exactly what I was looking for & so much more! The teacher is amazing. So grateful for sharing your knowledge.
Lucile's tone is warm yet clear. The mixture of classes moves your learning along quickly. I feel more confident to deliver classes for new mums.
Really good course
I am so greatfull that I found Arhantayoga. This gives me the oppotunities to get the training with clear information, and with the life time account I could review the lessons whenever I am free, whenever I need to. In addision there is always online support too, which helps me to be more confident when I decided to take the course.
Thanks Lucia alot!
Korte maar waardevolle cursus van Arhanta. Na het volgen van de Prenatale cursus, deze cursus gevolgd. Het is een mooie aanvulling en ook belangrijk. Hier leer je welke houdingen aanbevolen zijn na de bevalling, maar ook wat niet te doen. Ik heb hier veel van geleerd. Lucia draagt zoals altijd haar kennis zeer goed over. Bedankt Lucia!
Thanks for sharing all your knowledge with us. I really could feel how serious you take your work and that you do it with all your heart. Great how you create the course.
Thanks and all the best!
I already got my prenatal yoga certificate and now postnatal certificate recently. because I was very happy from Lucia. The way she teaches, is very understanding and complete.
Really recommend her courses. My next will be mom and baby and I’m so excited ♥️
