Why an apprenticeship?
Pregnancy is one of life's most extraordinary transitions.
Teaching pregnancy yoga is about far more than knowing which poses are safe.
It's about creating a space where women feel supported, empowered and deeply connected to themselves and their growing baby.
The Flourish Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship is designed to bridge the gap between learning and teaching.
Instead of trying to absorb everything during a single intensive weekend, you'll learn gradually through guided study, a comprehensive workbook, practical teaching experiences and live mentoring.
Our goal is simple: to help you become a knowledgeable, compassionate and confident prenatal yoga teacher—ready to support women through one of the most transformative seasons of their lives.
We'd love to help you become one of them.
Who is it for?
This isn't about collecting CPD hours or completing a 50-hour intensive.
The Flourish Pregnancy Yoga Teacher Apprenticeship is designed to help you become a confident teacher through guided study, online mentoring, in person observations, practical teaching and personalised feedback.
You'll have time to absorb the learning, ask questions and develop your teaching skills in a supportive environment—because confidence comes from practice, not simply completing a course.
If you're looking for a meaningful learning experience rather than just another certificate, you'll feel right at home here.
Is this training for me?
You're a yoga teacher wanting to confidently support pregnant students.
You'd like to offer dedicated pregnancy yoga classes.
You feel unsure how to adapt traditional yoga safely.
You want practical, evidence-informed guidance—not just theory.
What you’ll learn
Gain the knowledge, practical skills and support to teach with confidence.
You'll learn not only what to teach, but why—exploring pregnancy physiology, trimester-specific considerations, common conditions, sequencing, breathwork, birth preparation and postnatal recovery.
