Enrollment
Pregnancy and the time after it change the body fundamentally, and many women do not want to give up their Pilates training during this phase. In this four day, 32 hour training, you learn how to safely and soundly adapt your existing Mat and Reformer repertoire for pregnant women and for training after birth. Together with an osteopath specializing in women's health, we teach you the background knowledge and practical teaching skills needed for this target group. At the end, you receive a certificate for 32 training hours.
