A Holistic Approach to Perinatal Health for Pilates Teachers
An online course for movement educators that helps you fundamentally transform your prenatal/postnatal Pilates programming.
This online course is for movement professionals that want to work with pregnant and postpartum clients and know there is a lot more to it than simply providing “exercise modifications”.
This course will teach you how to safely monitor and work with Pilates students during the entire perinatal period. You will learn appropriate and effective Pilates exercises for each trimester, how to think through Pilates-based modifications for group classes and 1:1 training, and learn effective postpartum healing movement practices. You will also walk away with an understanding the critical physiological impacts during pregnancy as well as the postpartum period; including, hernias, diastais recti, doming, and pressure management.
Gain a comprehensive understanding of the physical, emotional, and mental components of this critical time through a combination of lecture videos, resource videos, and worksheets. This course will prepare you to care for your students holistically, supporting them when resources and support systems are limited.
