It is a privilege to be able to work with women who are pregnant. Being able to take them through the journey of pregnancy as the body changes both emotionally and physically. Having the knowledge on how to work according to the trimester they are in and taking their specific needs into consideration allows us to be effective and functional movement teachers. This 3 hour workshop will give you a taste of one of the trimesters to be able to have insight into the value of doing the full Pilates Through Pregnancy and Beyond Course. We will use big ball, belly binder and pillow and suggestions for equipment modification will be offered.
