Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training in Rishikesh IndiaWelcome to the Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training Course in Rishikesh, India. This is a great add- on specialised program to your existing 200 hour /300 hour/ 500 hour or any other Yoga Certification. This program is designed for yoga teachers, experienced practitioners, and wellness professionals who wish to learn how beautifully a female body is designed to go through different stages of reproductive lifecycle and support them throughout. From Puberty to Pregnancy to Delivery to Post partum to Menopause – every stage is covered in detail, in this training.
Pre-conception phase : At first the course gives a lot of emphasis on the preconception aspect where both male and female have to prepare themselves to plan a conception by looking at three main factors called “Ahaar – (Nutrition), Vyavhaar (Action) , Vichaar – (Thoughts)”. These three aspects are covered both philosophically as well as anatomically so one can start implementing these aspects in their daily life to have a healthy offspring. A detailed lifestyle change recommendation, asana and movement-based practises, meditation, mantras and pranayama to help with any specific infertility issue will be a crucial part of this course.
Pregnancy phase: The pregnancy phase is one of the most beautiful experiences of woman's life journey, as she goes through a great transformation in her body and mind. The hormonal and bodily changes during this time, continuously challenge her at physical, mental, biological and emotional levels. The course will take you through different stages of pregnancy, where the students will be asked to wear a fake baby bump to experience the limitation of the range of motion while performing certain movements. Various pregnancy complications will be discussed in detail, so the students understand that, as a prenatal coach where to draw a line and when to continue with the physical practise using props or other variations. Practical sessions and specific workshops will be held to ensure the students learn about the proper breathing techniques, strength and mobility techniques, relaxation techniques and meditation techniques during different phases of pregnancy. Additionally, a lot of resources will be shared and discussed about the Ayurvedic diet based on the three doshas during pregnancy
Post-partum phase: Post partum phase is a very important and sensitive phase as the female is re-born as a new mother. Similar to the new born child, a female body is also healing and recovering continuously during this phase. Our training explores the possible post-partum complications and how to manage them with correct breathing and gentle movement-based practises. A progressive strength training practise sequence is explained to ensure slow and healthy recovery of the mother. Apart from this, care from the ayurvedic perspective is also explained in detail for both mother and the child.
Menopause phase: A small part of the program also covers menopause phase and how different factors affect every women at this last stage of reproductive life cycle. The training cover the different stages of menopause, the activities to be done, diet to be maintained to go through this inevitable stage of reproductive lifecycle with ease and comfort.
Although this training is called as Prenatal and Post natal training, it has many more elements than just pregnancy and post pregnancy. The philosophical wisdom of Garbh Sanskar and anatomical knowledge of reproductive system will not only help your students but also help you in your respective reproductive journey.
This training provides a meaningful foundation to upgrade your skills and professional development. Join us at Vinyasa Yoga Ashram to initiate yourself in selfless service of helping women around you during pregnancy, post pregnancy or at any stage of reproductive lifecycle.

Nutritious Food for Yogi
A sattvik– pure– state of mind is achieved when one consumes high pranic value foods that energise and nourish the body at various levels. Yoga isn’t just asanas and breathwork, but rather a complete integration of one's routine that supports spiritual evolution where diet plays a big role in one's progress. The meals provided at school are thoughtful and rooted in the science of Ayurveda and Sattvik eating habits.
- Three vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free meals daily, with multiple options to choose from.
- Light, easily digestible foods are prioritised to help sustain your asana practices.
- A balanced diet with lean proteins, complex carbs, and good fats in every meal to fulfil all nutritional needs.
- An appropriate mix of warm, cooked dishes and raw, lively foods.
- Spices infused drinks such as fennel seeds, carom seeds, coriander seeds, ginger to boost digestion and metabolism.
- A variety of cuisines to stimulate multiple tastes.
Focusing both on nutritional as well as pranic value, every dish is cooked fresh and organically, and is served with the intention of nourishing not just the body, but also the soul. With a beautiful mix of taste and health, every bite will leave you satiated (perhaps even wanting a little more!).
