Pre & Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training

With Susannah White and Sarah Alice Lee

Starting Autumn 2026

About

This Pre- & Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training is led by Susannah White and Sarah Alice Lee, alongside experienced guest educators, and taking place at Yard Yoga this Autumn.

Rooted in alignment-based, pelvic-health-informed yoga, this training bridges traditional yogic practice with modern anatomy and perinatal science. You’ll learn not only what to teach, but why, how, and when across pregnancy and the postnatal period.

This training will:

  • Build confidence in teaching pregnancy and postnatal yoga safely

  • Deepen your understanding of the changing body before and after birth

  • Move you beyond fear-based cueing and rigid rules

  • Equip you to offer adaptable, responsive, and supportive classes
