Workshop For Mamas
You may take this course at any point after having kids, from 2 weeks to years later.
No matter where you are in your motherhood journey or what your fitness level is, this is for you. Everyone must start by learning about their body and how to engage their muscles properly and every exercise can be tailored to you. If you are only a few weeks postpartum, do not worry because a significant portion of the workshop focuses on breathing with small, controlled movements. If you have been several years into your fitness journey and want to take it to the next level, these small corrections will have a significant impact on your strength. Whether your sport is lifting the kids, running a marathon, or squatting at the gym, you will learn the fundamental principles of movement to support your body’s needs.
