Description
BODYART® Pre-and Postnatal is the ideal training concept for pregnancy and beyond. You will learn modified BODYART exercises specially adapted to pregnancy and exercises that will help support the recovery process after birth and rebuild strength, so that your new mums feel fit and vital again.

The module is divided into two parts:

bodyART Prenatal
Pregnancy is an extraordinary time, full of new experiences and change. Our bodies and our psyche go through a complete transformation throughout pregnancy.  In BODYART Prenatal the focus will be on helping your ‘mum’s to be’ stay healthy, fit and in shape during pregnancy, to understand and experience those physical changes and sensations and to appreciate breathing in order to enjoy their pregnancy and feel calm and relaxed throughout.

bodyART Postnatal
The baby has arrived and the new mum (usually after 6 to 8 weeks) turns her attention to how BODYART exercises can help her to recover physically from the birth. Paying careful attention to the current state of her body, the focus will be on helping to re-gain body shape but also importantly to build up energy to breastfeed and adapt to the new physical demands of looking after a newborn.

Content:

• how to keep moving and recharge your energy and strength
