Strong as a Mother: Pilates, Pregnancy, and Empowering Women Through Movement
from Core with Shawna Beardsley | A Pilates Podcast · host Shawna Beardsley, NCPT
Happy Mother’s Day! In this special episode, I’m reflecting on my personal journey of teaching and practicing Pilates during pregnancy—and how that experience deepened my commitment to supporting and empowering women through every season of life. We’ll talk about how pregnancy shifted my perspective as both a mover and an instructor, the importance of honoring the body without fear, and why a science-based, up-to-date approach to pre- and postnatal Pilates is non-negotiable. Whether you’re a mom, an instructor, or both, this episode is a celebration of strength, change, and honoring what your body can do.
