Learning about the needs of Pilates teachers, my vision for pre and postnatal Pilates education grew MUCH deeper than just teaching the common problems, anatomy of pregnancy, and exercises.

Having the experience of social work, and a deep desire to uplift and support the human spirit, I quickly began to apply my skills of encouragement to the world of Pilates, which can sometimes be intimidating to the layman, AND to Pilates teachers! 

Teachers actually need more confidence in teaching, in addition to support, and continuous application of how to teach pregnant and postnatal women.

That is why we encourage teachers who are going through our trainings to begin teaching DURING their training, rather than having to wait until they have completed the entire training. 

I have also learned that teachers also struggle with helping women to understand the importance of slowing down during pregnancy, and giving themselves time to heal postpartum, in addition to developing a positive relationship with their body.

So we have worked diligently to create curriculum that provides up to date, evidence-based ways to promote healing by understanding the body through a fascial, tensegrity-based perspective, and fascial training techniques that support healing and resilience. 

We then take that fascial perspective of the body and educate our pre and postnatal clients on the miraculous changes that take place during pregnancy, and the amazing healing capability of their body in the postpartum period. 

It's all about changing the client's experience and perspective from negative to positive during and after pregnancy.
