Season 6 PRENATAL PREPPED: Yoga (Jan 20 - Feb 24, 2022)

Many changes occur to your body during pregnancy, which challenge your body and mind in many different ways. This may lead to pain and/or dysfunction, possibly limiting your mobility for labour and/or creating imbalances that persist postnatally including diastasis recti, core &/or pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse, and more.

Created by Andrea Plitz, PT & RYT, this 6 week physio rehab series aims to connect mind and body, assisting you to support the changes throughout pregnancy, prepare for labour,  as well as optimize birth outcomes and recovery postnatally.
