PRE-NATAL PILATES IN THE DENVER TECH CENTER
Wondering how to stay safe, healthy and active during your pregnancy?
Typical group fitness classes can be challenging during pregnancy since many traditional exercises such as planks and sit-ups are not ideal (or effective!) in the second and third trimesters of pregnancy. Private pre-natal Pilates sessions at Align are specifically designed to accommodate the needs of an expectant mother.
Amy has completed extensive continuing education to become certified as a Pregnancy and Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist. With supported workouts on the Pilates Reformer, Tower and Chair, Amy teaches women how to safely strengthen your core from within and offers the right modifications for your changing body.
Pre-natal Pilates can help you:
Alleviate back pain, sciatica, and SI pain
Build better posture
Strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, hips and back
Minimize Diastasis Recti, incontinence and prolapse
Boost energy levels and mental health
Prepare for recovery after childbirth
Be proactive throughout your pregnancy and address all your specific needs along the way. Pilates is the perfect pregnancy workout to keep you safe, strong, and feeling your best.
What our clients are saying:
“Highly recommend coming to Amy for prenatal pilates! I fully credit her for getting me through my pregnancy. I was a high intensity fitness junky prior to getting pregnant, but as my pregnancy progressed and the activities I once loved began to exacerbate all my pregnancy ailments, it became clear that I needed to find movement more suited to what my body was going through. I tried a few group fitness classes in the area, but kept finding that instructors were not knowledgeable enough in prenatal fitness or would provide modifications ahead of time and it felt taxing to mentally keep track of what was/ was not safe for me to do throughout class. Finding Amy was like a breath of fresh air because I finally had someone who could give me a good workout perfectly catered to my stage of pregnancy and whatever was hurting that day. Her PT knowledge has been incredibly helpful and she’s got me through low back pain, a pulled groin muscle, and loose joint pain from all that pregnancy relaxin. She’s very talented at assessing what’s going on in your body and providing exercises to do at home. She’s even dry needled my tight hips before! Plus she is incredibly kind, positive, and easy to talk to. If you’re looking for a way to stay active and feel good through your pregnancy, Amy is your gal!”
