Pre & Post Natal
Arguably the most important time in our life to prioritize health, strength, function and connection. Our Prenatal & Postnatal Pilates programming is purposefully designed to support every stage of pregnancy. Grounded in Physical Therapy and functional movement, classes and privates focus on building strength and mobility specific to the physical changes that take place throughout pregnancy and postpartum.
Please reach out to hello@gooddaypilates.com if you have any specific questions related to our pre/post natal policies or programming.

Private & Focus Sessions
Establish goals and assess how the body is moving in a 1:1 or semi-private environment. These offerings can be tailored to any specific needs including rehab for diastasis recti or pelvic floor. We recommend private sessions for anyone who is brand new to Pilates or for those returning to Pilates after pregnancy.
