Become an instructor

The baby yoga instructor training course is designed to provide practitioners with the knowledge and teaching ability to safely and effectively deliver baby yoga sessions and courses to parents and babies within a variety of individual and group settings. This will also include being able to deliver online sessions to parents and babies.

What age is infant massage suitable for?

Baby yoga can be used from 6-8 weeks to pre walking. We find that most parents attend classes with their babies from around 10 weeks up until the babies are walking away (around 11-12 months). Although the techniques can be used with older babies and toddlers the above is usually typical of a baby yoga class or session.

kind words by students

Our students love our
approach to learning

I recently completed the one day Baby Yoga teacher training course and found the course materials and videos provided by Julie were excellent. I have put into practice over the last 3 Months the excellent face to face teaching with Kimberley. In addition to the one day training the extra 100 hours of self study required helps to make the qualification rigorous and worthwhile and I would thoroughly recommend the course.

Our trainer Jessica was very engaging, easy to get on with and encouraging. The course was fun, informative and easy to follow.Great format and instructors about the next step.

Baby Yoga Student
Really enjoyed the massage and yoga training that I attended. It was fun and very comprehensive. I felt at ease throughout and left at the end feeling like this is something I can do. There is heaps of support and feedback and small class sizes mean lots of time to practice and get individual feedback. I would happily recommend the classes.
