Pilates
From maintaining a proper core and foundation to preparation for child birth, Pilates is an essential exercise needed for a smooth pregnancy, delivery and postnatal follow up care. This is a specialized program that utilizes pregnancy-modified exercises, along with various props, to build strength and stamina, and increase stability and mobility, while giving you a well-rounded class that focuses on general posture, alignment and breath. We offer both mat and apparatus (reformer and chair) sessions.
Yoga
Yoga has been one of the all-time favorites for pre and post natal exercises. It helps manage pains, provides a sense of calmness and reduces tension, and helps build strength before and after pregnancy. It is an energizing, gentle technique, that emphasizes stability, flexibility and relaxation. It is an excellent preparation for birthing through breath, body and mind awareness.
