Expecting Balance: Adapting Pregnancy to the Pregnant Body

Description

Pregnancy is a time to preserve function and fitness, a time to focus inwardly and prepare for the rigors of childbirth and caring for a baby after birth. Understand the anatomical and physiological changes that accompany pregnancy in each trimester and build on this theoretical knowledge as you discover how to assess and adapt movement to meet the evolving needs of the pregnant body through shapes in space. Learn how to modify classical exercises and what to add in and leave out. Explore how to safely adjust throughout the pregnancy, supporting your client with thoughtful progression, props, and mindful cueing.  

Presenter: Theresa Barone & Anne Lukaska
