Welcome, parents and parents-to-be!

Prenatal + Postnatal

Our instructors provide extra care and support for our prenatal & postnatal clients.  Try classes with Krista, Darcie, Taryn, and Jaimée!  Below is a list of prenatal-friendly classes offered right now. 

Postnatal?  Keep using that list of prenatal-friendly classes for gentler and relaxing class options, and boost your energy with core-strengthening Pilates or Fusion classes with Krista, Scotty, Erika, Talea, and Tash; plus any yoga class!

Tip: take it easy in your first few classes that incorporate Pilates, to see how it feels.  Postnatal folks find Warm and Hot classes helpful to ease sore muscles. (Childcare comes with a lot of lifting and carrying, doesn't it?)  Heat can help you relax and recharge.   

TIP — Look for the letter "P" next to instructor names on our Full Class Schedule of classes at the studio and online.  This tells you the instructor will offer additional support and care to prenatal participants in their classes.

Specialized Series

Prenatal & postnatal series taught in small groups by highly-trained specialized instructors are offered based on demand.  Unlike our classes, these must be booked in advance, with the full series paid upfront.

We mark these series "on hiatus" when they are not currently running, with options to request them so we can run series based on demand.  Once we have enough folks waitlisted to run a series, we will reach to offer you priority enrollment!  It's also a great idea to add your email to receive Series and Event notifications, plus deals and sales.
