ABOUT THE PREGNANCY COURSE

Having been a Pilates teacher for over two decades, I had the privilege of helping many expecting mothers, including gynaecologists and a midwife, to keep fit during and after their pregnancies. However, it was carrying a child of my own that afforded me the most insight into what it is like to experience all the joys, mysteries and discomforts associated with producing a new life.

The intention of the course is to give you confidence working with pregnant women, to understand the changes she is going through during all 3 trimesters as well as in post-partum stages. Keeping in mind the important guidelines and special precautions you will be able to design effective and safe workouts during pregnancy and beyond while modifying Pilates or other exercises. Safety first!
