A bit about PREGGO PILATES:

Preggo Pilates was born when founder Stephanie Forster gave birth to her son in 2005. Determined to physically empower women in all stages of Mamahood, she developed a program that mirrors the essential needs of the pregnant, laboring and postnatal woman. Taught with a deep appreciation and understanding of what the pregnant and postnatal body is capable of, the Preggo Pilates program focuses on strength, breath, flexibility, control, and hones a woman’s ability to let go. The result is a strengthened pelvic floor, a strong upper body, the ability to breathe deeply into a solid core that supports backs, babies, and posture while giving Mama an overall sense of well being. What more could you want besides a good night’s sleep?

She brings over 15 years experience as a Pilates practitioner, dancer, body worker, anatomy and yoga student and choreographer to her teaching, which is infused with irreverence and humor.

PREGGO PILATES BACKGROUND INFO:

I became inspired to develop a Pilates program that supports pre and postnatal women when I was half way through my Pilates training and discovered that I was pregnant with my first child. My search for a specialized workout for the prenatal woman that was challenging but safe for maintaining her current level of fitness rendered few options. I realized that it was up to me to create a program that physically empowered women in all stages of Mamahood, one that mirrored the essential needs of pregnancy, labor and delivery and postnatal parenting. So in 2005 I birthed my son and Preggo Pilates!
