What happens immediately after I order?

You’ll access to your course content right away. Look for an email from “info@brettlarkin.com” in your inbox with a link to the content within minutes after placing your order.

Do I have lifetime access to course? What if I’m not pregnant now, but plan to be later?

Once you purchase, the videos are yours to keep forever. There is no expiration date on this course. Even beyond childbirth and well into motherhood, mothers can continue to practice yogic breathing, maintain connective tissue health with deep stretches, and work on core strength. While prenatal yoga classes are designed to accommodate the pregnant body and to prepare you for motherhood, much of what is taught during the prenatal yoga course can be used in preparation for pregnancy and postpartum.

How can I watch the course content?

On your computer, tablet or mobile phone. Viewing via Roku and Chromecast is also supported. Downloading video and audio files for offline use is easy through our mobile app.

Can I buy just some of the videos instead of the full course?

Concepts in these classes and tutorials build upon one another. For this reason, they are sold together and cannot be purchased individually.

Do I need prior yoga experience to take this course?

This program is designed to be accessible to women of all levels, shapes and sizes. If you are new to yoga, welcome. Modifications are shown throughout these classes.

Even if you have never practiced yoga, this prenatal yoga course will help you learn yogic breathing techniques, safely improve your core strength, and learn relaxation techniques. These yogic tools can help you during your birthing process in a myriad of ways. Many of the techniques learned can help you reduce the perception of pain both during pregnancy and childbirth. Yoga during pregnancy is known to strengthen the muscles on your pelvic floor to support your labor and delivery.

What if I’ve never meditated before?

The Uplifted™ Pregnant & Powerful™ program emphasizes meditation as one of the best possible ways to prepare for labor, delivery, and life with a new baby. This course is designed to meet you where you are and deepen your experience of meditation with guided practices. If you’ve never meditated before, that’s okay! This is your opportunity to start this powerful practice.

Breathing exercises, meditation for pregnancy, and relaxation techniques taught in this prenatal yoga course are tailored to help you throughout each trimester with discomforts such as morning sickness, back and pelvic pain, and the feeling of overwhelm that comes with preparing for motherhood and life with a new baby.

Can I teach prenatal yoga after completing the Pregnant & Powerful Teacher’s Edition course?

Yes! The Teacher’s Edition is designed to prepare you to teach safe, empowering prenatal classes. Included in the Teacher’s Edition are teacher-specific video training modules, a special audio training for prenatal teachers, 3 Pregnant & Powerful™ prenatal-safe yoga sequences with all talking points and poses written out (teach these classes as your own), and a teaching prenatal yoga dos & don’ts PDF. Upon completing the coursework and passing the final quiz, you’ll be sent an Uplifted Prenatal Yoga Certificate.

Note: This Uplifted Pregnant & Powerful™ Prenatal Yoga Certificate is not the same as the RPYT prenatal specialty track designation, which requires 85+ hours of in-person study. Many teachers who’ve been through this Pregnant & Powerful™ prenatal certificate program have told us the joy they’ve found in teaching prenatal yoga. Bring prenatal yoga to your studio or communities through this empowering program.

Are there Uplifted™ member discounts?

Not for this program, but Uplifted™ members are entitled to *many* product and course discounts. Look in the Uplifted Master doc for more details on all the discounts that come with your membership.

I’ve taken Brett’s Online YTT and/or Bridge program – is it worth it for me to take the Teacher’s Edition?

If you’re looking to teach prenatal yoga or deepen your understanding of prenatal, yes. Two videos in the Teacher’s Edition you will already have seen (the “Teaching Prenatal Basics”). The other audio and video tutorials, PDF handout, and 3 written-out prenatal sequences for you to teach, are all unique to the Pregnant & Powerful™ program.

Can I get a refund on this course if I don’t like it?

All digital product sales are final and non-refundable. Please practice with Brett via our free prenatal resource center to ensure you’ll enjoy the yoga offered in this program.  

I’m on bedrest or limited exercise during my pregnancy. Is there still value for me in this course?

Please always check with your healthcare provider before engaging in any physical fitness routine, especially during pregnancy. If you are on bedrest, you may enjoy the many meditations and informational workshops that are part of this video set, as well as the postpartum audio lessons. Consult with your healthcare provider if it’s okay for you to sit upright in bed, on a chair, or cushion on the floor to practice meditation if you are on bedrest. The Mantra & Mudra class and third-trimester meditations are especially useful for women who want to practice yoga, but cannot physically exercise during pregnancy.

How is yoga while pregnant different than just being physically active during pregnancy?

Practicing yoga while pregnant is a great, gentle way to remain physically active during pregnancy. Many videos in this program include fitness-based yoga poses that build both lower and upper body strength. Many routines include squats, gentle, prenatal-safe backbends, and other poses that boost the heart rate. While yoga offers a fantastic pregnancy workout, it also teaches you techniques to help you reduce stress, connect with your baby, and improve flexibility and balance. This is key as your body evolves and changes, trimester-by-trimester.

This program teaches you pranayama breathing techniques, prenatal meditation, and is an opportunity for us to practice yoga and meditation together. Many exercises are designed to relieve common pregnancy discomforts, like pain or nausea. Many physicians encourage prenatal yoga. Women who practice yoga during pregnancy are supporting both their bodies and their babies. Please always check with your healthcare provider before engaging in any physical fitness routine, especially during pregnancy.

How is yoga for pregnancy different than a regular yoga practice?

As a pregnant woman, your body is changing rapidly trimester-by-trimester and you’ll need to alter how you move through many yoga postures. The more weeks gestation into your pregnancy that you are, the more difficult it may be to do certain yoga asanas. This yoga for pregnancy course allows you to work with a yoga instructor who fully understands not only the changing shape of pregnant women (I’m pregnant in every video!), but also the ways in which yoga can support the birthing process. Learn how to strengthen the connective tissue in your hips, legs, spine, back, and glutes so that your body can accommodate both the pregnancy and the birthing process.

Also learn calming breathing practices, meditation exercises, and all-natural rituals that will allow you and your baby to stay connected throughout the entire process. Remember, your baby shares your aura, your electromagnetic field, for the first three years of his or her life! Dedicate yourself now to this enriching practice of prenatal yoga, and hope to see you inside!
