BWYQ

Level 3 Technical Specialist in Teaching Antenatal Yoga (Award)

Total Credits: 6 — Guided Learning Hours: 36 — Total Qualification Time: 64

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 advocates blended learning with  e-learning resources  — such as the 1-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.

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.
