Melody,

I would suggest that you first learn about the indications and contraindications for pregnant women as far as engaging in exercise for that population is concerned.

Then I would look at the organization offering yoga or pilates and see if the guidelines concur.

The best resource for guidelines pertaining to the prenatal population is ACSM Guidelines for Testing and Prescription.

Hope this is of help to you.

Best!

Hello Melody,

I agree with Joanne. You can also find a person who specializes in prenatal health and fitness. Keep that ACSM guideline handy, too.
Take care.

Going to IDEA conventions, staying current with CECs particularly with those pertaining to your interests, consulting with a doctor or prenatal nurse and following the guidelines of your primary care Obgyn.

Hi Melody,

I saw in your profile that you are well-credentialed (and a fellow instructor in North Carolina)..

I am not sure how far you want to take the information on prenatal yoga but there is actually an organization here in NC who certifies in that specialty. Here is the link: http://www.theyogaconnectionnc.com/pre_and_postnatal_training.shtml?gcli…

Wish you good luck.

I like the Fit to Deliver book and certification. They do a very through job and have been around for a while.
