The Ma Yoga Teacher Mentorship is hand-holding at its best.
We didn’t want to have one of those prenatal certification programs where you end up feeling overwhelmed and you put off teaching and then it becomes scary.
In fact, so many trainees wanted to use their knowledge to start teaching online classes with us right away, that we created a way that you can start teaching – even before you’ve completed your Certification.
We incorporated a one-on-one yoga teacher mentorship so you can practice teaching real mamas, get feedback and tips, and then get you started teaching with confidence, calm, and clarity.
It will also help you get your 30 hours for Yoga Alliance so you can receive our Registered Prenatal Yoga Teacher Certification (RPYT) right away.
Once you’ve taken The Yoga of Pregnancy and Postpartum and The Yoga of Healing online trainings, you can start your mentorship and receive one on one support from a senior Ma Yoga Certified prenatal yoga teacher, to help you integrate everything you’ve learned, and become a safe, effective and transformative prenatal yoga teacher.
How it works: once you submit your Ma Yoga Teacher Mentorship Application, you’ll be assigned a Ma Mentor. She’ll help you get clear on all that you’ve learned, and then work with you to create your first prenatal yoga class based on the principles you’ve learned, as well as an inspiring theme having to do with pregnancy, labor, or motherhood.
You’ll video yourself teaching prenatal yoga to a friend (she doesn’t have to be pregnant, but it’s easier if she is), and you’ll get helpful feedback. Then, you’ll do it again and you’re done! You are welcome to apply to teach online classes with us, in a growing, global community of Ma Yoga teachers who want to make the world a better place – one mama at a time.

Thanks so much for all your support in getting me here! I am definitely proud of myself and so happy I finally did it!
Awesome, thank you so much! I wish I could have spent more time learning with you.
I am so grateful for that mentorship.
Thank you so much Colleen! I learned a lot from you. Thank you for such good and constructive feedback. I’m excited I finished!
Having the mentor relationship and regular video conferences with Colleen was transformative.
You don’t always know what you are doing, no matter how self-reflective you are trying to be, having a mentor to celebrate your successes and make proactive suggestions for improvements was fantastic.
I am so thankful to Colleen for all the time and care she put into this process!
Nicole, thank you so much for your time, your commitment, your inspiration and wisdom. You were very supportive in your feedback and I can use your feedback very well.
I felt much more confident in my second recording already which was also due to your encouragement.
Thank you so much Jamie for your support and encouragement throughout the program.
I’m grateful that you were my mentor and you were always there supporting me. We need more mentors like you that care for their students and transmit that positive energy to keep moving forward.
The Ma Yoga Teacher Mentorship will help you take the next steps in your prenatal yoga teaching, so you can
- Confidently teach pregnant women in your regular yoga classes
- Safely relieve common aches and pains for your mamas - and anyone
