Prenatal Series 2/4 - Leah Stewart of BASI Pilates® teaches her second class for Pilates and Pregnancy. This class was designed to meet the needs of the pregnant woman in her second and/or third trimester. However, women who are in their first trimester will certainly benefit from the class. In the class, Leah is in her 24th week of pregnancy and the student is in her 34th week of pregnancy. The structure of the class is designed to create a flow sequence that keeps the students moving through a full body Pilates session. The exercises address the specific needs of the pregnant woman; including the importance of breath, spinal articulation, abdominal and pelvic floor strength and control, upper body strength and postural control, back extension, focus, and relaxation. Modifications are given to help make the pregnant woman more comfortable during the exercises. The pregnant woman is encouraged to work at her own pace and listen to her body during this fun and calming class. (Filmed August 14, 2010)

gfit Loved the class. I'm 33 weeks pregnant and I also have a 2 year old, so time is not on always on my side but having such great instruction at hand is perfect. I'm a group exercise teacher of high impact classes, I stopped teaching a month ago and I'm feeling it, you have given me that added lift. Thank you. 9 mos ago |

April Sullivan That was a great class! I just started working out again. I stopped working out when I got pregnant, because I just had no stamina for it, and I'm in med school. I used to do yoga and pilates regularly before that. I'm 21 weeks now and have much more energy. This was definitely challenging for me, and I was feeling the burn. But I really enjoyed it, and I'm glad that I found something that is challenging enough to get me in shape while I'm pregnant, yet safe to do. Let's just hope I can keep it up during the 3rd trimester. 6 mos ago |

Leah Stewart gfit, I am so happy to hear that you enjoyed the class and that you are finding time to do it, even with a two year old. I know that this response is late and you've had your little one by now - Congratulations!! If you have any questions about postnatal exercises, please do not hesitate to ask. Take care, Leah 6 mos ago |
