Thanks so much, Kathi! I gave birth 3 months ago, and was planning to do a postnatal pilates class (having never done pilates before), but with the pandemic, I couldn't. I am so delighted to discover your classes instead. The precision and power of the practice immediately felt great to my healing body., and my husband is taking care of the kids so I can keep following the classes. My core feels stronger already after just a couple of weeks!

Thank you so much for the comment. Pilates is fantastic for a postnatal body. Your pelvis & hips are quite loose after giving birth and the Pilates movements are ideal for bringing them back into an aligned. It also helps to strengthen your joints and muscles surrounding your hips not to mention getting your core back quickly! Keep it up and you'll be back to your pre-pregnancy body in no time.

So glad your body loves Pilates Gabriela! Pilates does tend to get addictive. I think a lot of people just think it's stretching but it's far from it. Alignment, breath, power, mobility & grace all wrapped up into one little package. Thank you for the comment. :)
