Baby & Me Pilates

About this event

This class series is for postpartum moms whose babies are 6 weeks to crawling. Taught by Pelvic Rehab Specialist and Physical Therapist Amanda Fitzgerald, you will learn how to safely rehab your pelvic floor and core after pregnancy and delivery. Moms will learn how to protect their pelvic floors with low pressure fitness using breath, and learn safe progressions to build strength without harm or strain using Pilates exercises. Special attention is focused on understanding the role of the pelvic floor and core muscles and restoring postural balance to the postpartum body to counter the effects of pregnancy and the physical demands of caring for a newborn and infant. Your baby comes with you! No need to find childcare for a fitness class. Bond with your baby and build community with other new moms. This is an interactive class with songs, games, and bubbles! We’ll use baby at times as resistance to build strength. Mat classes will be held in the spacious Nave of Spyre with plenty of space to spread out and maintain physical distance. Manduka yoga mats for mom will be provided - bring whatever provisions you might need for your baby. Amanda Fitzgerald is a Doctor of Physical Therapy, a Pelvic Rehab Practitioner Certified Specialist, and a Pilates Certified Instructor for 17 years. She has 2 children ages 15 and 10, who accompanied her to many Baby & Me Pilates classes in their infancy. * 12 hour cancelation policy.
