Hi Shoshana! I took Carolyne Anthony's Pre/Post natal course several years ago. It gave me a great base and from there I have created various modifications and exercises that felt good for me during my pregnancy and now post pregancy. I am not sure if Carolyne has any courses in Austin. You can learn about her certification courses at http://www.thecenterforwomensfitnes...
