What you'll learn
Breathing: We start by mastering breathing and focus techniques—the very same ones you’ll use during contractions in labor.
Dance: We kick things off with a 5-minute dance to boost your mood and bring a smile—think Latin, disco, sirtaki, and more!
Exercises: We focus on a variety of movements designed to support your body through pregnancy and prepare you for birth.
Relaxation: We end each session with a calming relaxation, where you get to soak in the fresh energy in your body and connect with your baby.
Pregnancy Tips: After each workout, you’ll get a little surprise—a short 2-minute video where I share a valuable tip or health insight.
