This Level 3 qualification has been approved by both Ofqual and IfATE for meeting the occupational standards for teaching antenatal exercise classes. The qualification is divided into two units, the knowledge unit followed by the skills unit,  available for courses from August 2025 and beyond.

BWYQ has applied for grant funding so that e-learning resources can be created in full by summer 2025 – see a 1-minute sample below produced by our volunteers with free trial software .  In this way trainee teachers will be able to  access consistent information across centres and test their knowledge before completing worksheets for centre assessors’ Summative Assessment. Applying the knowledge to specialist teaching skills will be covered by your centre tutor. Trainees will set up antenatal yoga classes in their own communities  and one of these sessions will be observed and assessed by your training centre.

Mother nature is in full force during all three trimesters. By the third trimester — when the fetus is increasing to maximum size – safe and comfortable within the waters of the womb – Antenatal Yoga teachers realise they are sharing the gift of yoga not only with the mothers-to-be but also with the amazing babies who will soon be born. The 3rd trimester is a sacred time as profound changes are taking place psychologically and spiritually in response to the dramatic physical transformations that occur.
