This long anticipated workbook was the inspiration behind the acclaimed Prenatal and Post-natal Pilates DVDs.  Sarah consulted top doctors to come up with a program that is modified for each trimester of pregnancy and the first 6 months postpartum. 

This workbook is intended for all levels. Remember, this is not the time to get in shape.  It is the time to nurture your body and maintain muscle tone. 

"We believe that a strict adherence to these well designed Pilates exercises will enhance every pregnant mother’s anteparutm care for nine months and will shorten labor and delivery for those mothers who take time to participate faithfully in these programs."

Drs. James S. Powers & Francis T. Bergin OB/GYNs

"I could confidently and enthusiastically recommend it to my new, and experienced, mothers to use to maximize their small and valuable time to get the exercise the body needs and continue to encourage and foster the bonding relationship that mother (and father) and baby need.”

Collin D. Cullen M.D. Pediatrics
