If you do NOT already have your Yoga Alliance (RYT) Certification:
- Completing the above qualifies you to become a Ma Yoga® Certified Instructor
- As a Ma Yoga® Certified Instructor, you can teach your own “Mama Circle” without Yoga Alliance Certification, but some yoga studios might ask for it
- To submit your Certificate for Yoga Alliance RPYT certification, you must complete a 200-hour Regular Yoga Teacher Training (RYT). If you are drawn to prenatal, we recommend you take this training first as it will give you a solid alignment-based yoga foundation for any trainings and teaching you do afterward.
- Trainings can be purchased separately here if you are drawn to certain topics – 12 Continuing Education credits each (Yoga of Pregnancy is 18).
I took this training to get more knowledge about appropriate poses for pregnant women. I got a lot more… the Ma Yoga principles are golden and I can use this knowledge for every type of yoga class and even apply them to my own personal life.
I feel blessed to have been given this gift. Thank you Jess!
This training is so well put together, the information is infinite, and I have a whole new love for pregnancy and motherhood.
I can’t wait to one day teach with and be part of Ma Yoga!
I feel so much more confident about teaching, which is amazing because I didn’t feel that way after my 200 hour.
After this training, I feel connected to sacred life amidst universal challenge and change. What worked: a small group, combination lecture/ sharing/ workbook/ videos/ practice teaching. And the pure spirit of “Jess”.
Don’t hesitate. Do it! Be receptive. Have faith in the process. It is a gift to me personally and to ALL.
I have only just begun this program and I am impressed!
From the ease of navigating the website, to the breadth and quality of content, I am thrilled to have been connected to this community and wealth of resources.
I’m glad that it was over time and not just a quick training and then you’re done. It gives you time to absorb the material and integrate it into my own teaching.
I feel like a stronger teacher, especially when it comes to people who back pain or issues related to pregnancy and postpartum.
The Ma Yoga Prenatal Teacher Training has truly been a metamorphosis both personally and professionally.
Jessica and the team at Ma Yoga have created a certification made up of crucial components, which allow you to build upon your knowledge and training, improving and empowering your teaching and your own life.
I had a wonderful experience with Ma Yoga. Jessica is always available and quick to respond to any questions. She wants you to be successful.
Through Ma Yoga I feel empowered as a working mom instead of apprehensive or lost in a corporate job that doesn’t want to accept my new life as a mother.
Empowerment and care for this whole community is at the core of all that Ma Yoga does. I am at a totally different place than I was before I started on my Ma Yoga journey. I still have a long way to go, but I want to do it and keep doing it… I love it!
Thank you Jessica and all at Ma Yoga. You are truly inspirational.
I just wanted to reach out and let you know how much I am enjoying your training. It is quite different than what I’m used to (aside from the prenatal aspect).
I love learning these sacred steps and how they apply to EVERY practice and EVERY “body.”
Light bulbs are going off, and the connection is beautiful.
The training is incredibly well structured, with a wealth of tools and wisdom to be shared. Plus Jessica will answer all of your questions and then some.
I loved the community and spiritual principles that were always at play. I immediately felt comfortable enough to have a voice and make a mistake, which is a big deal.
I feel more confident in my own home practice as well. Bringing the magic of the 5 elements into my practice in this organic way has instilled a sense of renewal.
As a registered nurse that has provided care to hundreds of women during their pregnancy for the last 16 years, I didn’t realize that there was another way to approach birth.
Jessica and her team explained how to prepare your body birth with alignment based yoga, diet techniques and so much more.
I believe that I am a better nurse in the hospital setting due to this training.
This prenatal certification program not only met, but exceeded my expectations!
There were so many details that helped me feel supported and encouraged throughout the process – from the live zoom classes, to the correspondence from Jelena updating my progress, to the attentive conversations with my Mentor Jamie.
Thank you for the beautiful response in our Teacher Training Circle forum. I feel like that response was like months of therapy. Really, I’m so grateful for your words, your teaching, your style. I hope I can be a resource for my future students like you are.
The time I spent learning about yoga and the perinatal experience with Jess and Nicole at Ma Yoga was nothing short of wonderful. I learned many things that I will hold near and dear to my heart forever.
The different classes that I was a part of with them, as well as my prior doula and postpartum doula training, gave me everything I needed to know when supporting birthers physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually.
The training has not only given me the preparation to step confidently into guiding expectant and new moms in their practice, but it has given me the gifts of personal growth and healing on my own journey.
The course requirements (lectures, assignments and tests) are thorough but not overly arduous. The teachers are passionate about their field, facilitate an enriching learning community, and are unfailingly encouraging every step of the way.
My student delivered a healthy baby girl – vaginal unmedicated Sunday night. She told me all the work we have done during her pregnancy since 25 wks worked. The knowledge that yall gave me is amazing. My heart is so fulfilled right now that I was able to help someone have the birth experience that they wanted.
Jessica I thank you again for this amazing program that you facilitate!
I could never have imagined learning the way I did and becoming so invested in the work through a computer.
I feel blessed to have found you and that our paths have crossed.
Thank you so much Jess! I am humbled and uplifted by your teachings, support and encouragement.
There is always so much to learn when we are listening. I feel so blessed to be surrounded and inspired by teachers like you.
The Prenatal Certification Program with MaYoga® is a wonderful opportunity for personal and professional development and growth.
The MaYoga® approach to life is not only beneficial in the time around giving birth but it can change your whole perspective on life. I heartedly and fully recommend Jessica’s program!
As a yoga teacher, this program gave me the confidence to teach pre-natal students at any stage of pregnancy.
I am no longer nervous or worried if a pre-natal student joins in any of my group classes.
I am confident that I know what to do should I ever get pregnant and how to continue my own personal practice during this time.
This was a phenomenal program. I am so grateful I found Ma Yoga.
I am now a confident prenatal yoga teacher and this training has greatly improved my non-prenatal teaching as well.
This is the best prenatal teacher training program around.
Extensive and gives you the added business support to create your own pre and postnatal yoga business in your community. Outstanding.
The Ma Yoga prenatal teacher training was wonderful.
Jessica Jennings is a supportive and inspiring instructor.
My personal yoga practice deepened with the alignment principles that were taught, and I gained much knowledge and insight to share with others, both pregnant or needing healing alignment.
Each of the instructors is incredibly skilled in and passionate about sharing their expertise and experience with Prenatal Yoga.
The support you receive from the Ma Yoga community after you complete training is unparalleled.
I could not recommend this training more!
This was such a thorough and fulfilling teacher training!
Jess has such a beautiful spirit and so much knowledge of prenatal yoga. I have felt so supported by Ma Yoga throughout this entire program and am very grateful to be a part of this community.
The Ma Yoga Prenatal Certification Program is incredibly comprehensive, covering not only alignment but self-care practices rooted in Ayurveda and birth training that provides teachers who may not have been through childbirth with greater understanding.
The Ma Yoga team really wants to see their teachers succeed and are committed to supporting them on their journey.
Ma Yoga® is a wonderful program and I highly recommend it to any yoga teacher looking to reach this special community of practitioners.
The teachers are compassionate, highly skilled, and knowledgable and the curriculum is well-rounded and flexible.
The creator and owner, Jessica, and her team of educators were very supportive and knowledgeable.
Jessica creates a community for her students and provides a comprehensive program.
I enjoyed this training so much that I am now moving on to teach the trainings to more teachers.
Ma Yoga is great.
I learned a lot and continue to practice their teachings.
Grateful for everything that was learned and shared with me and our growing community.
Ma Yoga provides stellar instruction and guidance for yoga teachers interested in working with women on the journey of motherhood.
I can’t recommend this training enough.
I feel so prepared as a prenatal teacher thanks to Jessica and Ma Yoga!
The small class size allows for a more in-depth training and creates a place for making friends with fellow students I never could have imagined.
The curriculum of the program is broken down in such a way that it is not overwhelming and you are well prepared to teach.
With my hectic schedule, I felt the convenience of having the classes split up over a few months really helped me focus on each aspect of the courses presented.
Very easy to move forward and I felt like I truly appreciated each step.
This was an amazing teacher training program.
It was fun and there was a lot of support throughout the whole process.
So glad I chose to complete this program. It provides a strong foundation for concepts and theories that can be easily applied in classes with students.
It provides a wonderful approach that included ways to support nutrition, physical, and emotional support for mothers-to-be.
I loved the training from MaYoga so much. It touched on so many facets of yoga, philosophy, ayurveda, pregnancy, and birth. The community circle and mentorship program were the icing on the cake!
While my certification through Ma Yoga was entirely online, I felt so connected to Jessica and those training with me. The zoom classes were informative and attending other prenatal classes through ma yoga was so helpful for me. The most helpful part was the ma yoga mentorship where I recorded myself teaching and was able to get feedback from an experienced teacher. I’m so grateful for all the knowledge I gained here!
I am so thankful for the prenatal yoga training through Ma Yoga. I have completed a handful of other certification trainings and I believe this content was by far the most in depth.
I love how well rounded the training was. Many trainings feel like they are doing the bare minimum to meet the requirements and feel like a hustle to get teachers in and out the door.
I felt like this training was created from a true heart to support women on the deepest level and for generations to come. The intention and heart-filled teachings were evident in every step of the training.

a note from Jessica
Thank you for listening to your own inner guide and finding your way here. If you are drawn to take this program, I invite you to join me on this empowering journey into not just how to use yoga to help women become moms; but how to use yoga to help women mother themselves.
Here’s me working at Kaiser Hospital, running the group visit and yoga program I developed called “Pregnancy in Balance.”
My baby’s in yellow. : )
In those six years I saw how life-changing the right kind of support, guidance and inspiration can be for pregnant women.
When it was done, I knew what I wanted to do.
And Ma Yoga® Pregnancy, Motherhood & Beyond was born.
I hope you’ll join us. Your own magic “Ma” journey awaits…
