Program Features

Carrie has designed both a Prenatal Pilates and Postnatal Pilates class to meet the underserviced needs of expectant mothers in the Naperville and Hinsdale areas and beyond.  Each class meets for 90 minutes once a week for 6 weeks.  The first 30 minutes focus on educational topics pertinent to either prenatal or postpartum women and is a time for pregnant or new moms to discuss their concerns and connect with other women in similar situations.  The remaining 60 minutes are dedicated to Pilates exercises and breathing/relaxation training.  Each participant will receive a manual containing illustrations and written descriptions of each exercise to be used for home practice.
