Prenatal Pilates
This mat-based class series is designed to prepare you for labor feeling fit and strong!
Focus is on toned abs, back and pelvic floor muscles, resulting in a more comfortable
pregnancy. During this class, you will strengthen your Transversus Abdominis, the main
muscle that supports the back and abdominals. During pregnancy, this can relieve
pressure on your back and thighs and can help support your growing uterus and the
baby's weight. Class emphasis is also on breathing to improve oxygen supply to both
mom and baby, decrease shortness of breath, and aid in breathing during labor. This
class is safe for all trimesters and fitness levels with modifications to adapt to your
changing body.
Postnatal Pilates
This postpartum class series is designed to help reverse the effects of pregnancy on
your body. Pilates mat-based exercises work to strengthen and tighten your pelvic floor
and core muscles. Through mindful movement, you will regain your strength, posture,
and stamina while connecting with other moms. Modifications are provided especially
for Diastasi Recti and Cesarean recovery. Babies are welcomed and incorporated into
your workout!
