Online pregnancy exercise classes during Covid19

Don’t let being stuck at home during a global pandemic ruin your exercise plans! Finding quality pregnancy exercise classes can feel challenging at the best of times. Even more so when our gyms and pilates and yoga studios are closed. 

I’ve put together some of the best online pregnancy and postnatal exercise classes. These are all local WA businesses – because #shoplocal, especially during these difficult times. You won’t find any big box or celebrity programs here. What you will find are experts who have made the shift to ensure you are still able to exercise safely and appropriately at home.

So whether you are being forced to stay home due to lockdowns and social distancing or you prefer exercising at home, you have options when it comes to exercise during pregnancy.

 

Kate Vivian is a self-professed pregnancy and birth geek who is finally learning to embrace the chaos of having 3 kids. It was the birth and ‘bringing baby home’ experience of her first baby, and the overwhelming guilt that went with it, that led her to start Bright Mums – and create a world where Mums matter.

 A Certified Hypnobirthing Australia Practitioner, childbirth educator and postpartum doula, Kate works with Mums-to-be not only supporting them through pregnancy, and birth but also teaching them to honour themselves at a time when the world is telling them their baby is the most important thing.

With almost 2 decades in adult education, Kate has the ability to create a safe space, a non-judgey space. A place where Mums can relax and feel supported regardless of what their journey looks like. 

A keen traveller in a former (pre-kids) life, Kate dreams of the day her kids are big enough to take skiing and they can completely show her up while she is busy falling down mountains.
