Join Annie in a 4-part Pilates for Pregnancy series. Every Thursday 4:30-5:30 pm during the month of March: March 7th, March 14th, March 21st, March 28th. There is so much information and noise out there telling us how to be “healthy” and “well,” especially during pregnancy and here at arrive we keep it simple.

This is a semi-private offering and has space for just 4 students. Exercise & breath are so important for all stages of pregnancy and studies have found The Pilates Method to provide more benefits than other forms of exercise for pregnant bodies. Some benefits Pilates includes: postural strength & pain reduction, pelvic floor awareness & endurance, safe mobility for your newly flexible body, breathing skills to prepare you for labor & connect you to your deep core and baby, and confidence & trust in your body. The Pilates Method directly prepares you for birth, drawing on similar principles that techniques like hypo-birthing does, and helps you find a calm mind and body during exercise and contractions.

This class is for you if you are currently pregnant and are seeking support and ease as you navigate this big transition. Your body is changing daily as you grow your baby. Energy is lower, caloric needs increase, cravings fluctuate, pain might creep in, fatigue is ever present, and resting heart rate increases. Your spine is physically shifting to accommodate a growing baby and it is optimal to understand these changes, stay mobile and strong. The first step is education and awareness, then once you understand the anatomy and what is going on, we train. We will prepare your shoulders and arms for holding and feeding baby, and build glute strength so you can properly support your body and posture. Other forms of exercise such as lifting, running, walking, spinning and vinyasa might not feel aligned with you right now and that’s okay! Learn the Pilates Method in 4- 1 hour semi-private sessions that are tailored specifically for pregnant bodies.

Due to the small size of this class, expect to receive lots of personalized attention and care. Sign up here and note you must sign up for entire series.

Please consult with your midwife or OB before attending class. All props will be provided.
