THE MOVEMENT LIBRARY
$10.66 a month or $106.61 a year
Welcome to the Movement Library with the #Pilatesdoula Ruth Ruttan.
The workouts are Pilates-based, ranging from restorative to more challenging repertoire. They include a little cardio and a mix of several other modalities. Most workouts need very little or no equipment and can be done in small spaces.
The focus is on biomechanics, finding balance, and movement strategies that make exercises work for your body in any phase of your life.
The videos have notes to let you know which workout might be best for
Prenatal, Postpartum Recovery, Baby & Me (after recovery), and various levels of intensity are also noted.
Videos are grouped into complete workouts of several videos, with each video being 10-25. Do them separately for a quick workout or combine videos for a longer, well-rounded workout. There are some full-length workouts, too (40-60 minutes)
New content is in the process of being filmed - Do you have requests?
Do what feels safe on your body. Please know that not all movements feel good for everybody. Please don't push through pain - stop or use the suggested modifications!
We highly recommend seeing a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist before starting any form of exercise. They can best assess your readiness for exercise, especially during pregnancy and postpartum recovery, and can offer considerations for a safer exercise program.
