PREGNANCY YOGA E-LEARNING: can start as soon as possible but could be done in tandem with practical course dates.
PREGNANCY PRACTICAL COURSE DATES ON SAT/SUN 1-6 PM: 21-22 Feb, 21-22 Mar, 18-19 Apr (via Zoom)
POSTNATAL YOGA E-LEARNING: can start as early as 20 Apr but could be done in tandem with the practical course dates

The Antenatal and Postnatal Yoga courses can be done separately, 64 hours each, at a cost of £670 each, with an easy payment plan. However, until 21 February, there is a 12.5% discount (a savings of £150) if you enroll on both courses at the same time, bringing the cost down to under £600 for each regulated qualification, plus you get 8 UCAS points each – 16 UCAS points all together! The easy payment plan for the combined course is spread out over a 6 month period.
The tutor is offering this discount because it reduces the admin that needs to be done for two separate registration processes, but -more importantly – it ensures a holistic, consistent approach which will help you when you start teaching pre and postnatal women. Developing the mother-baby bond starts during pregnancy!
