Course Overview
About the course
The 100hrs Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training Course is an onsite specialist programme at Andiappan Yoga in Chennai. It is designed for yoga practitioners, teachers, fitness professionals and birth-support professionals who want to understand how yoga can be adapted safely and respectfully during pregnancy and into the early postnatal period.
Students study the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy, trimester-wise practice adaptation, appropriate use of props, breath awareness, relaxation and class sequencing. The course combines guided theory, supervised practice and teaching methodology so participants can develop confidence in creating a safe and supportive prenatal yoga environment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior prenatal yoga teaching experience to join?
No. The programme is designed for yoga teachers and serious practitioners who want to develop specialist prenatal yoga knowledge. A sincere commitment to safe practice and learning is essential.
Will I learn how to adapt yoga for different stages of pregnancy?
Yes. The course covers trimester-wise adaptation, the thoughtful use of props, suitable breathing and relaxation practices, and ways to respond to common changes in comfort, balance and energy.
Does this course include postnatal yoga?
The course introduces postnatal awareness and the transition into early motherhood. It is primarily a prenatal teacher-training programme, with guidance on how pregnancy learning informs responsible postnatal support.
If I complete your course, can I get registration with AYUSH Yoga Certification Board (YCB)?
To clarify your question about the AYUSH yoga certification process: you do not strictly need to complete a course at an AYUSH-registered school in order to obtain an AYUSH yoga certificate. After you complete the course you can apply directly for assessment through the Yoga Certification Board (YCB) under the Ministry of AYUSH, which means that self-study or training with any recognised institution is acceptable. Many of our students have completed their training with us, successfully registered with AYUSH, and are now working in both private and government organisations. After completing the course at our school, you may register online at https://www.yogaexam.in/ and apply for the relevant YCB examination; once you pass, your official government certificate will be available through your AYUSH profile portal. We would also encourage you not to choose a teacher training school based only on AYUSH eligibility. It is equally important to consider the depth of knowledge and experience of the teaching faculty, their qualifications, and their contribution to the development and authenticity of yoga. This will ensure that you receive a strong, comprehensive education that truly supports your long-term growth as a yoga professional.
