Pre/Postnatal Strength and Stretch

Breathe and move in a way that is safe and effective for the pregnant & postpartum body to prepare for and recover from childbirth. We will have time for a brief community check-in, yoga/pilates based movement to build strength and support the nervous system, and end with guided relaxation & imagery. Suitable for all levels.

  • “Francesca’s classes are both relaxing and challenging. Her sense of timing is perfect for a pregnant body — she makes sure we have plenty of time to breathe between postures. The sequences are thoughtful, varied, and offer me a sense of calm. I always leave class feeling like I’ve gotten in a solid workout and prepared my mind and body for the birth process. Finally, Francesca checks in sincerely both before and after class and it’s always nice to get reassurance or a quick pregnancy tip from a doula as part of my yoga hour. So grateful to have her guidance on my pregnancy journey.”

  • “I have loved doing a weekly postpartum class with Francesca!! I have slowly gotten my strength back and have really enjoyed stretching. Exercising is such a different experience after giving birth and making time for it has been a game changer not just for my physical health but my mental health as well! Thanks for everything!”

  • "I loved Francesca’s calming presence and clear instruction. She offered many options and modifications and encouraged us to listen to our nervous systems. I especially liked the weaving in of the pelvic floor movement, awareness, & sensation as I am in my first pregnancy and want to become more aware and in control of my pelvic floor muscles."

  • "Francesca's classes were the cornerstone of my pre and post natal health. They were gentle enough to participate in until the week I gave birth. The classes kept me feeling strong and pain free, especially toward the end of pregnancy, when I experienced a lot of hip and sacral pain. Francesca had excellent personal feedback and advice for any questions or concerns I had about all things, including beyond stretch and restore. Her recommendations when I got mastitis, for instance, gave me much needed relief very quickly. When I visited a pelvic floor therapist for a checkup, every exercise they recommended was in Francesca's class, and I attribute much of my quick delivery and postnatal health to her. I cannot recommend Francesca's classes enough. They got me through my pregnancy, delivery and postpartum."
