Postpartum Programming & The Pilates Method with Dr. Kristen Lettenberger & Katie Yip

This workshop is the perfect blend of physical therapy and Pilates. Our goal is help you select and teach exercises to best support your postpartum clients, to not only build a strong core and pelvic floor, but to also establish a foundation of strength to keep them strong throughout life and the demands of taking care of a newborn!

At the end of this workshop, you will understand the postpartum healing process, common injuries, when to refer and how to work alongside a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, and what exercises to best support your client during this chapter.

The workshop will be split up into a mat class and three modules with practical application. Through interactive sessions, you will have the opportunity to transition the principles learned into the Pilates system and understand how to assess, teach, and perform the exercises and skills taught.
