This course has had a huge and profound impact on me as a person and as a teacher moving forwards, thank you for the first class experience, Katy.

By far the best yoga teacher training I’ve attended. Katy and her fellow teachers impart a huge depth of knowledge and passion with ample personal consideration and focus for each student. Great discussion and community spirit and extremely well managed online.

I’ve completed several trainings with many different teachers, but I have never felt so inspired and amazed with the content and transmission of knowledge as I was on this high quality training with Katy.
I joined the course not knowing if I had made the right decision, but in the first 10 minutes, I knew I had come to the right place. The experience was invaluable. I would recommend this course with all my heart and soul.
— Tina Bozic, graduate 2022
I studied with Katy when pregnant with my third child. I learned so much about the physiology of pregnancy & childbirth, more than I had ever known, even through two of my own childbirths! The course had input from many inspiring experts in their fields of pregnancy, childbirth, pre & postnatal bodywork with baby yoga & massage.

Katy Appleton with blocks
I took this training with Katy whilst 33 weeks pregnant and can honestly say, it was the perfect time for me to do it and one of my favourite yoga trainings ever. The course goes into a lot of depth & covers a lot of information, but is delivered so accessibly, and with so much heart and care. If you’re looking for insight into this area, I cannot recommend this course highly enough! I felt very much equipped to carry the knowledge forward into my pregnancy, birth & into my classes & am so grateful I took the opportunity to do it when I did. Thank you again appleyoga!

Postnatal Yoga, Baby Yoga & Massage

appleyoga's postnatal training offers full spectrum yoga that can all serve to firm a foundation of physical emotional and spiritual health from which women can flourish as mothers and in all the roles they play.

It can and often does take months for women to have re discovered their embodied strength and remembered who they are in the context of their new life. Practiced wisely, yoga can form the basis for this new exploration.

This course is fantastic. Katy & her teaching team were excellent and a huge inspiration. I am really impressed with the support provided both during the course and really appreciate the work put into the course pack & extra online guides. The course is beautifully blended to focus on not just the physical but the journey that the mother is on and how best we can support them. This has allowed me to feel confident in how much I will be to offer my students.
— Lois K, 2020
It was such an eye-opening and informative week, not just from a teaching perspective but also being given so many insights into the pre & postnatal experience.

Katy is such an embodied soul and this really brings the training to a whole new level. And as if that wasn’t enough, the other facilitators on the course are amazing with so many nuggets of wisdom. A truly magical experience!

I absolutely LOVED this course! Doing it online was an incredible experience - I learnt so much, and all from the comfort of my own home. Katy is a wonderful teacher, she holds the space in such a special way and made us all feel connected even though we were all beaming in from different parts of the world. I’m so glad I signed up to this training, it’s opened my eyes to a whole new world of pre & postnatal yoga, and I can’t wait to support pregnant women & new mums on their journey.

Katy’s pre and postnatal training is world class. It dives deep into the physiology of pregnancy, birth and the postpartum body which has enabled me to teach with genuine insight and understanding of what is truly needed for mothers at these times. It is also so wonderful to be able to offer baby massage in your classes too.
