A 60-minute perinatal Pilates workshop for preconception, prenatal, and postpartum support. First we educate and build awareness, then once you understand the anatomy and what is going on, we can train and prepare you. Education is power!
Dr. Ashley Jefferies will begin our time together teaching us about the anatomy and positioning of pelvis, spine and baby, and how the Webster Technique of chiropractic care can support this process and make for smoother delivery.

Annie will guide us through a foundational flow that introduces 3 of the Pilates Principles
The Breathing Principle - how to activate and relax transversus abdominis and pelvic floor muscles through breathing techniques and imagery. How to harness the power and focus of breath to yield different results in our body.
The Pelvic Principle - what are the different positions our pelvis can be in and what is your mobility and comfort like in each? This principle directly builds deep core and glute awareness to keep you easeful and aligned as you go through these big changes.
The Rib Cage Principle - what do our ribs tell us about our spine and shoulders and how can we increase mobility and support here?
Some other questions we will explore are
What is neutral alignment for you?
Can you move your arms and legs independently of the spine, pelvis and ribs? (so we aren’t floppy noodles with all that relaxin!)
Can we build easy mobility without overstretching and avoid being tense like statues?
How does all of this prepare us for preconception, pregnancy, labor, and postpartum?
How can Pilates and chiropractic care support each other and this entire perinatal process?
This is a 75 minute workshop style offering. If you are seeking more one-on-one support consider signing up for Annie’s semi-private or private offerings.
