Restore Your Core and More:

You will learn the signs of rectus diastasis, uterine prolapse, and clogged milk ducts. If any of these conditions are present, we will recommend one on one treatment where these issues can more effectively be treated.
This class will prepare you for the Level 2 and 3 Restore your core class where you will begin more advanced isometric core engagement on the mat and then the Pilates Reformer.
