At Himalayan Yoga Association in Rishikesh, we recognised this gap and felt a deep responsibility to bridge it. This is the reason we developed our specialised Prenatal and Postnatal Yoga Teacher Training Course, a course that will provide yoga teachers, health care professionals, and loving mothers with the skills and the confidence to help women safely through all stages of pregnancy and motherhood.In order to give birth, one has to nurture. And the one who nurtures must be given strength.
Prenatal yoga is a mindful, carefully adapted yoga practice performed during pregnancy. It celebrates the miraculous change which occurs in the body and mind of a woman and prepares her to have a more conscious and easier delivery. Prenatal yoga concentrates on the development of strength, flexibility and emotional stability, and minimizes anxiety, back aches and exhaustion that are often experienced during pregnancy.
Our prenatal yoga training program at Himalayan Yoga Association is carefully designed to meet the special physical and emotional needs of pregnant women in each phase of their pregnancy, the first trimester up to the last trimester before delivery.
Once the baby arrives, the journey for a mother doesn't slow down, it deepens. The postnatal period is associated with a new set of physical and emotional challenges: hormonal changes, pelvic floor healing, exhaustion, and the emotional burden of a new motherhood.
Postnatal yoga education will help mums to regain their bodies and mind in a natural manner. It is designed to regain core strength, recover the pelvis, eliminate postpartum anxiety and build the inner power to care about herself and her baby. Postnatal yoga is not merely physical healing, but spiritual home.

From the moment ingredients enter our kitchen to the time they’re served at your table, every step is carried out with great care, love, and strict hygiene protocols.
Our kitchen is spotless and meticulously maintained, following international standards of cleanliness. All surfaces are sanitized regularly, ingredients are washed with purified water, and our staff are trained to ensure a safe, hygienic, and sacred environment. We believe that a clean kitchen is the foundation for clean energy in the food — and for us, this is not just a standard, it’s a spiritual practice.
We also take great care in food storage, preparation, and serving, ensuring that everything you eat is not only sattvic and nourishing but also prepared under strict hygiene supervision. Our meals are cooked fresh daily by our dedicated kitchen team, who wear clean uniforms, use gloves where required, and work with mindfulness and discipline.
Because to us, cleanliness is not just a standard — it’s part of the yoga. A clean kitchen is a clean heart. And a clean plate is a step toward inner peace.
