Move your body in a way that is more than just modifying your usual routine –

Pregnancy and post-partum is a unique time in your life and your movement practice should reflect and support your body through this process. These workshops are a safe space to move your body in ways that can help your pregnant and birthing body achieve balanced strength and mobility. This may not only minimize aches, pains, and dysfunction, but also supports a more efficient birthing process. When the body is supported through optimal movement for the task of pregnancy and birth, the body is primed for an easier and smoother transition into postpartum and recovery.

Join other moms in a space to move and grow together –

Have a place to ask questions and dig deeper into the physical changes and processes of pregnancy and birth. Create a community of support for your postpartum period and beyond.

Body Ready Method is an approach to using whole-body, functional tools that may help with:

  • Body balancing to help baby find their best position
  • Prenatal aches and pains
  • Pelvic floor dysfunction
  • Core support to minimize issues with abdominal separation and diastasis recti
  • A more efficient birth by optimizing the body during pregnancy
  • A smoother postpartum recovery

The Body Ready Method® empowers expecting and birthing people to take control of the controllables of prenatal preparation and birth support. The BRM approach allows them to feel resilient and strong in their bodies and prepared for the incredible journey through birth, regardless of the type of birth they are planning or end up having.

Space is limited. Don't delay!

FAQ

You will learn and practice five pillars of movement

  1. Alignment/movement patterns
  2. Upper body mobility
  3. Core
  4. Pelvic floor
  5. Pelvis

Each class is structured around a 60 minute movement flow and a 30-minute educational component to help you learn and practice the pillars in depth. You will be given movement homework to continue developing your practice at home.

The 60min/30min split will not be a hard rule – the total 90 minutes will be used to achieve a fulfilling movement practice, tools for students to take home and incorporate into their everyday lives and plenty of time to answer questions that arise during class. Extra time is available after class for socializing.
