Hopefully most Pilates practicitioners don't know how much arguing goes on behind the scenes over what can be called Pilates and what can't. My lastest examiner.com post introduces the Pilates debate, and I'll continue to discuss it in detail in the next few days. Click

Sarah Picot - PRENATAL PILATES (DVD MOVIE)
and Post-natal Pilates
I was blown away. After going through 2 pregnancies as a Pilates instructor, I've modified my heart out, both for myself and the deluge of pregnant clients who come to me because they know I have experience. I hadn't even scratched the surface. Some of the modifications made me slap my forehead and say "Why didn't I think of that?!?!" Others, like the kneeling single leg stretch, are a testiment to creater Sarah Picot's creativity and dedication to keeping the pregnant body moving in safe, healthy ways. The post-natal program is encouraging to me, it makes me feel like there is actually a possibility of me getting in a workout with my 12 week old my son is rather than having to wait for my husband to be able to watch him. Read more about all of the products and an interview with Sarah here.
