Pregnancy, Prenatal & Postpartum
Mamas first off congratulations! I am so beyond excited for you to grow your family and enter the world of motherhood OR add another bundle of joy to your gang. Moving your body through pregnancy (with the consent of your physician) can be so beneficial for your body, energy, strength and confidence, to help you bring a little time for yourself. The benefits of movement are endless: improves posture, decreases common discomforts (backaches/fatigue), stress relief, reduces the risk of pregnancy complications, lowers blood pressure, relieves constipation, improves sleep, boosts mood, builds stamina for labor and delivery, and helps speed up recovery post delivery.
Movement for me during my pregnancy made me feel so strong, empowered and gave me my sense of self that I was still able to do something for me. My last BT Method workout was the night before I delivered at 41 weeks (the running joke was that I would delivery the baby in second position (deep open turned out) pulses), but I felt so good doing it! Honestly you are able to any of the BT Method workouts in this library, as all of the workouts are low impact, no jumping movements. The only thing you would have to modify is the core section by either completing the workout standing lifting your knees or by placing a ball behind your lower back.
BUT, I have cultivated this Pre/Post Natal category within the Online Studio for all my mamas to have a place to come to, to find workouts more geared to their growing bumps with minimal modifications required. These workouts are low impact, gentle, simplistic, yet super effective and engaging in building strength throughout your entire body, improving your endurance and releasing all those good endorphins! I hope you enjoy these movements, but also note, you are able to do other workouts in the studio, with the modification of the core section.
REMEMBER MAMAS, always listen to your body. Here are a few tips to help modify or adjust any workout:
- During any workout, you have the option to remove all props and complete the workout with just you and your body (the workout is just as effective)
- At any point slow the workout down, completing every other count of exercise.
- Pause the workout and take breaks!
- Come to stretching anytime you need to relieve your muscles.
- Core Workouts: Place ball behind lower back or come to stand.
- During any planking section, drop down to your knees to complete the exercise.
- During thigh workouts, option to place a pillow in between your thighs for additional support.
- Drink lots of water and stay hydrated!
- Have fun and be proud of your body, the movement you are giving it, the energy you are fuelling it and the life you are creating!
LOVE YOU MAMAS, we gotta stick together! Enjoy your journey, be kind to yourself and happy moving! xo
