At The Lotus Method we incorporate body weight, strength training and band/cable work to help women prepare for the physical and mental demands of motherhood!  Think squats, lunges, and deadlifts with a strong emphasis on pelvic floor and core awareness, breath and alignment. Combined with a whole lotta support, love and fun!

Because a woman experiencing pelvic girdle pain and a woman experiencing low back pain need two very different workouts.  Every pregnancy and postpartum experience is unique, and that’s why we have a tailored approach.

Happy you asked! Most fitness professionals go through an online or weekend course to be “pre/postnatal certified”. Our trainers go through an extensive 6-8 week training course that covers everything from physiological changes during both pregnancy and postpartum, postural changes, pelvic floor and core health, Pre/Postnatal considerations, birth/IVF/postpartum knowledge and extensive assessment and program design for this population. We also have continuing education every week and since this is all we do, you are receiving the most specific and up to date approach available.

At TLM we believe in making an impact – and we cannot make a meaningful change in your life if we allowed people to drop in and out for 1-5 sessions.  Therefore, we look for clients who understand this and want to learn and grow with us.  After your initial 3 month commitment our membership goes to month – month.

Your membership can be put on pause for maternity leave, and any unused sessions will be available postpartum.

Because we tailor each program to exactly where you are at in your motherhood experience, there is never a “too soon” or “too late” time to start training at TLM.

Many say postpartum is forever – we have some women that have 6- to 9-year-olds that still work with us because they either just love working with us or they like knowing we specialize in pre/postnatal.  If you have pelvic floor concerns, lingering diastasis recti (abdominal separation) aches or pains steaming from pregnancy, labor or motherhood or want to get into better shape/health postpartum we would be honored to work with you!

The answer is – most likely, but it depends. Any program that claims they can 100% heal your DR is not one that we would trust. DR has many factors that come into play – posture, genetics, diet, how you perform certain exercises and how you are go about your daily life are just a few factors.  And please remember, it is so much more than just “closing the gap” and it is never too late to work on improving a DR.

We are different because our approach is designed specifically for pregnancy and motherhood.  There is no need for modification, there is no need to wonder if it is safe, or appropriate for your body.  This is also all we do; we see pregnant and postpartum women all day long – making us truly experts at what we do!

Yes you can!  We love to snuggle a baby or have them join us in the space!
