Written for movement professionals of all kinds, this book is packed full of research, practices and information to allow you to work confidently with your pregnant and post-natal clients.
Taking a whole-body approach, master movement educator Jennifer Gianni gives readers the tools to educate and empower their clients throughout their pregnancy, birth and beyond. Gianni demonstrates how movement throughout the pregnancy journey can regulate the nervous system and unlock the many possibilities of shape and space that our pelvis can open into during labor and delivery.
This fantastic resource includes over 100 different movement tinctures, daily movement upgrades, and breathing sequences. Many of the exercises also have accompanying videos online.
Jennifer Gianni M.Ed., NCPT, Balanced Body Master Instructor, SmartSpine Faculty and creator of the Fusion Pilates Pre and Postnatal Movement Specialist teacher training program has over thirty years of experience in the movement world and has been training teachers in pre and postnatal fitness for over twenty-three years. Her teaching fosters connection, self-regulation and discovery. It is rooted in the ever-changing awareness of anatomy and the body in motion. Jennifer's approach is interdisciplinary and layered. Since it is grounded in the real world and common-sense approaches, it creates change in daily movement strategies, efficiency, and ease in the body. This type of approach is of particular importance when one is instructing a pre or postnatal client due to the enormous and constant changes in the body over very short periods of time.
The curriculum and information both in her book and in her courses provides instruction to movement teachers, clinicians, and birth professionals which enables them to improve client outcomes during pregnancy, labor, and the postnatal stage by teaching current movement science for the pregnant and birthing body. Jennifer has presented at Pilates on Tour yearly for more than a decade and has also presented at several Pilates Method Alliance conferences. She continues to teach throughout the United States, as well as internationally in Moscow, London, Japan, South Korea, China, Thailand, and Singapore. Her work has been published in several magazines including FitPregnancy, Shape Magazine, and Pilates Style. Jennifer Gianni is the owner/creator and director of FusionPilatesEDU.com.
Jennifer's passion is acting as a mentor and guide to the numerous brilliant movement practitioners that study with her both in her Grow mentorship program and in the Pre and Postnatal Movement Specialist course. This book is dedicated to these very special people.
