Did you know we offer a prenatal class?

We offer a prenatal class on Thursdays at 4:30!  All of our pregnant ladies have gone andTummy of a Pregnant Woman given birth, imagine that!  So, we are looking to spread the word again to get the class filled back up.  It is an equipment class, which is perfect for women throughout their pregnancy.  The Pilates Studio offers many ways to stay in shape through out your pregnancy and loose that baby fat afterwards!  If there is enough interest we would put together a post natal class, designed to specifically address moms after they deliver.  See below for some of the benefits of post natal Pilates.  We are putting this out there to you our community and we hope you can help us spread the word to current non-Pilates women.  We all know and see lots of moms to be!

Whether it’s private lessons, group classes or a prenatal class designed especially for expectant mommies, we offer it all!

Benefits of prenatal Pilates:

  • Increased body awareness with better posture and support a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery.
  • Improved control and strength of pelvic floor region
  • Supports joints and ligaments that may be compromised with increasing strain from developing baby
  • Develops flexibility and muscular endurance in the body.
  • Relieves common problems associated with pregnancy such as backache, thoracic pain, sciatica, ligament pain, and pubic symphysis pain
  • Helps with breathing techniques that can be employed effectively during labor
  • Makes it easier for pelvic floor to release in those crucial latter stages of giving birth
  • Speeds up recovery after birth

A woman’s body is certainly put through its paces during pregnancy and beyond that into labor. Even once the baby has been safely delivered, your body will be rapidly readjusting itself. 

Benefits of post natal Pilates:

  • Rehabilitation of pelvic floor, abdominal and spinal muscles
  • It provides an avenue for the body to regain strength
  • Retrains muscles to recover from extensive changes experienced during pregnancy
  • Provides an outlet and social activity for new

are you ready to transform you health and your life!

Transform Your Health, Transform Your Life Group Program, starting in June! 

We just finished up our March Group Program and had a blast.  We learned a lot, shared a lot and bonded as a group. Starting  in June I have cooked up another exciting 3 month program to get you back on track, nutritionally, emotionally and spiritually.  This first level program will teach you the basics of food, nutrition, primary foods and mediation.  In our session we will learn:Woman Sitting in Meditation

  •  How to eat right and lose weight without dieting.
  •  How to deconstruct and reduce cravings.
  • How to get in touch with your inner self and get in touch with our inner knowing.

Shania Twain had a mantra that kept her going after she lost her voice and was working to get it back, “today is your day, nothing can stand in your way!  And YES, nothing can stand in your way.  That’s how I feel about this program I have created.  This transformational program is for you if:

  • If you’re ready for change!
  • If you feel like you’re ready to head into the biggest and most energized part of your life!
  • If you are ready to feel and look amazing inside and out!
  • If you’d like to actually choose to eat a veggie over cake and not feel deprived.
  • If you want to find that place of calm, balance and centeredness in your life
  • If you call a night on the couch with a bag of chips, a glass of wine or whatever your unwinding time.
  • If you want to sleep better, wake up energized and excited about the new day.

Some of the benefits of a group program!

  • It’s a great value, cost will be 1/2 of my normal fee for a 1 to 1 program.  Get the same quality coaching and guidance!
  • You have your own personal support system.  Everyone there wants you to succeed.  You will develop deeper connections and make your sessions more meaningful.  Also you will know you aren’t alone in this process.  It will help you build confidence to address challenges and motivation to succeed 
  • Higher likelihood of achieving your goals.  It’s been found that people procrastinate less, reach their goals faster and accomplish more in group settings.
  • You and the group will help create what we work on.  There is no cookie cutter way to gain health and achieve wellness.   I work on the philosophy of bio-indviduality, what works for one person may not work for another.  
  • Benefit from collective wisdom.  We will all brainstorm solutions, look for creative channels and uncover opportunities you may not have discovered working solo.
  • Gain a New Perspective . When you work alone, you examine situations from one perspective – yours. But when you work in a group, you’re exposed to a variety of insights that empower you to see a situation from multiple angles and motivate you to develop new solutions. Ever get a precious nugget of advice from a really honest friend that you just couldn’t see on your own? It’s like that.
  • Turn Work into Play! It’s more fun to go out to dinner with friends than by yourself, right? Working with a group is a social event that participants look forward to. You’ll join a close-knit group that is energizing, motivating and most of all – fun! Group members often become lifelong friends.
  • As a student of my class I will offer individual coaching with you at a reduced rate from my hourly fee!  That way if you need fine tuning or more in-depth support we can meet one-to-one to work out those things that may be blocking you from your goals.

Assorted fruitThe program will be 90 minutes 2 times per month.  I will be looking at 2 different class time to accommodate everyone’s busy schedules,one on a weeknight, the other during the day.  For  now I have created a form you can fill out and let me know if evenings or  a week day would be better for you, then with those numbers I can work on times and scheduling.

The cost will be $225 for the 3 month program.  If you pay in full, I will offer $25 off for a full payment or monthly at $65 per month.  I am so excited to be offering this transformational program and look forward to sharing, learning and growing with everyone through this process.  The great part is I usually learn as much as you do!  As I said this is level 1, level 2 will come out later this year and will delve deeper into the topics we cover in the level 1!

What my students are saying about Transform you Health, Transform Your Life, group programs:

  • ” I really enjoyed the experience and knowledge you shared”
  • “The presentation allowed for self-discovery and group dynamics”
  • “I learned about habits, eating more greens, drinking more water, looking at my cravings and how to keep looking at my whole self for guidance”

Here’s the form:  No commitment this will just help in scheduling and times!  It will also get you on my update emails for the program, and some bonus information prior to getting our group going!  I know you are ready  and nothing can stand in your way!
