Prenatal
This is such a special time in your life and we want to support you and your body's changes as your little human grows.
"Giving birth can be the most empowering experience of a lifetime – an initiation into a new dimension of mind-body awareness"
-Ina May
...Pilates is a great start to this mind-body awareness that the legendary Ina May speaks of.
*Prenatal Precautions*
*If you have had any previous miscarriage(s)...First of all, we are incredibly sorry for your loss. We would like to take extra precautions. We ask that you wait until your 1st trimester is complete to start a Pilates program. We also strongly recommend that all prenatal mamas have at least 3-5 private sessions before starting small group classes. This way you can build a solid foundation and get to know some of the fundamentals and adjustments you might need to make during class.
Postnatal
We call the postnatal period the 4th trimester. We think it is a period of time that should be recognized and respected just like all the other trimesters during pregnancy.
We will address posture, core, pelvic floor & diastasis recti.
*Postnatal Precautions*
*We strongly recommend several private sessions before starting small group classes. We will check each postnatal mama for diastasis recti before starting a Pilates program with us. It's a quick non-invasive check of your abdominals with your shirt on...or we can even teach you how to check it, yourself! We are here to empower you, mamas!
Please ask for Rebecca when contacting us to start your program.
