Level 3 Technical Specialist in Teaching Postnatal Yoga for Mums & Babies (Award)
Total Credits: 6 — Guided Learning Hours: 36 — Total Qualification Time: 64
This Level 3 qualification is divided into two units, the knowledge unit followed by the skills unit (practical skills learned with the tutor that you then apply to actual class teaching with postnatal students). The qualification will be available for courses starting August 2025 and beyond.
BWYQ advocates blended learning with e-learning resources — such as the 2-minute interactive video below — for the knowledge units, followed by practical skills training with a tutor at a venue or via online web conferencing. Near the end of the course, trainees will set up yoga classes in their own communities and one of these sessions will be observed and assessed by your training centre.
The focus is on after birth recovery for the new mothers, building a network of support with other new mums and, of course, bonding with their babies whilst practising yoga relaxation and wellbeing skills.
