This course is registered with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher (RPYT) course.
Please see Yoga Alliance’s requirements for being awarded RPYT 85 hr certification, stating that you require the following prerequisites before submitting your Bliss Baby Yoga RPYT certificate to them:
- 200 hr RYT (Registered Yoga Teacher)
- Have completed 30 hours of prenatal yoga teaching experience since completing your RPYT training.
A Completion Certificate (PDF electronic file) is provided once you’ve completed the course. The total course hours on this completion certificate is 85 non-contact hours.
Members of both Yoga Alliance and Yoga Australia are required to complete ongoing professional development to keep their membership current. By completing the Bliss Baby Yoga Online Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training course, teachers are able to accrue some of these necessary professional development hours as well as to gain the all-important knowledge and skills to launch them into this specialised area of women’s health.
(The following information re: Yoga Australia, please check the Yoga Australia website via links below to confirm their requirements).
For Yoga Australia members, 12 CPD points (Continuing Professional Development) must be accrued each year to keep your membership active. These can be accrued through contact or non-contact hours of study. Our Online Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training course is made up of non-contact hours of study, however as our course includes an assessment component (final case study assignment), for Yoga Australia members (as per their Continuing Education Policy) the hours spent completing our course are counted as contact hours, core to yoga teaching (1 point per hour). The Bliss Baby Yoga Online Prenatal & Postnatal RPYT Yoga Teacher Training course is 85 hours, therefore Yoga Australia members will accrue at least 85 CPD points.
At the end of the course we will also include you on our online directory of qualified pre/postnatal yoga teachers.
FAQ: If I want to be able to teach Prenatal Yoga classes, do I have to already be a qualified yoga teacher to enrol in your online course?
Our Bliss Baby Yoga training courses are designed as post-graduate study for qualified yoga teachers, and are not alone designed to qualify graduates to teach prenatal / postnatal yoga classes to the public if they are not yet a qualified yoga teacher (having completed a minimum Level 1 / 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training).
The prerequisite to enrol in our courses is at least 6-12 months consistent prior yoga practice experience – so that you are familiar with the basic postures / practices / terminology and can therefore gain the most from this training. We strongly recommend undertaking a 200 hr Yoga Teacher Training in addition to our specialised teaching before teaching any public classes, so that you can be insured as a qualified yoga teacher.
You can enrol at anytime in our Online RPYT Prenatal & Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training course
This Training course is easy to navigate—it’s all clearly laid out and you don’t have to be a ‘techy’ person to figure it out!
The Live Mentoring Program runs at alternate times each month to suit different time zones but if you can’t make these times you can watch the recordings. You can see times below. For the RPYT Extension Module, consisting of 2 live one on one video calls, you will be given a booking link to one of teacher’s calendars that has a range of times allowing for different time zones.
Mentoring Program Schedule:

* more dates & topics to be added month by month
The core course consists of seven lengthy modules and will take you approximately 65 hours to complete. Each module consists of a varied and stimulating mix of audio lectures, video-lectures, sample video classes, and accompanying reading from the course manuals. Have your yoga mat (and sometimes other props like bolster, brick) at the ready as there will be practical segments to some of the lectures. The focus of this course is on ‘experiential learning’ so that you can experience many of the recommended practices yourself.
At the end of each module there are short quizzes (see below under “Course Assessment Requirements”) and homework tasks to keep you engaged and ensure you’re integrating the information we’re giving you, and to help you prepare for the learning to come in the next module.
Course Assessment Requirements
At the end of each module you will be required to complete a short quiz that helps you solidify the learning. An 80% pass mark is required, but don’t worry, the quizzes are multiple choice/ true-false and you can re-do the quiz as many times as you need to.
At the end of the course content you will be required to complete a prenatal ‘case study’ written assignment. Upload this to the website (very easy) and one of our Bliss Baby Yoga online course facilitators will mark it and return it to you.
Your Facilitator will give you valuable written constructive feedback on your assignments.
Then, all you need to do is complete our Online Feedback Form (your feedback is soooo important to us!) and you will receive your initial Completion Certificate that you can either print out or keep digitally to send to registration bodies (eg: Yoga Alliance / Yoga Australia).
Following the core Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training Course, you complete the Anatomy and Physiology Module which operates in a similar manner to the above but without an assignment.
During this time you will also be attending the live Mentoring sessions or watching the recordings. All the details and links for these sessions are within your Bliss Baby Yoga account. We require that you practice a minimum of four of these, attending at least two live. You are not required to attend all 12.
And lastly, you will complete the RPYT Extension Package which comprises of assignments and class creation. Once you upload these to the portal, you will then receive a booking link to book your final two 1:1 video calls via our online calendar.
Following giving your feedback on the above you will receive your all important RPYT Certificate. Once you have completed your 30 hours of Prenatal Yoga teaching, you will be able to lodge your certificate with Yoga Alliance to receive your RPYT certification!
The beauty of this online option of our Bliss Baby Yoga Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training is that you can complete it in your own time, to fit around your other commitments. The total course hours that will be recorded on your Completion Certificate are 85 hours—this is what we estimate it will take you to complete this course, including the homework tasks, background reading and completing your final assignments.

Kind words about Anna from our Online Course graduates:
“I liked the info on stages of labour by Anna Watts, as I’m currently pregnant myself and have been avoiding research on this area (I thought it might freak me out!). But session 5 has actually reassured, rather than frightened me. I am feeling better about my own impending labour.”
“Anna Watts is the warmest and most gentle person and that really comes across in the video! Anyone who has her as a doula would be so lucky.”
“Anna – you are also wonderful. Watching and listening to you in the video lecture was one of the most memorable parts of the course for me, your explanations and commentary throughout was really gentle, nurturing and accessible. (I was watching it through the eyes of a newish mum who had a very difficult birth). I feel if I am ever pregnant again, I will be more confident about the birth process, and a lot of this has to do with seeing that video and hearing your commentary and input.”

Kind words about Rosie from our Online Course graduates:
“I had my final Skype session with Rosie and her energy was definitely felt even though it was via Skype. She gave me some great suggestions for my teaching and clarified a few points. More than anything I felt that she was a supportive mentor, and as a teacher sometimes it is hard to let our guard down and open ourselves up to vulnerability since it is usually us people are coming to for guidance and learning. I am thinking of booking more Skype sessions with her – it was a true blessing to find this training, for so many reasons: the resources, the cost is so reasonable, the lecture format is timed on our own schedule which is perfect if you have a scattered schedule with teaching, etc and also for the personal growth and development. I do feel a part of the Bliss Baby community now…thank you.”
