Nurture Your Body. Honor Your Journey.
Prenatal Stretch and Strengthening is a gentle, trimester-smart movement ritual crafted by Annette Fletcher, NYC’s beloved “Queen of Stretch” and certified Pilates educator. This program meets you exactly where you are—whether you’re 8 weeks or 38 weeks—and honors pregnancy not as a condition to “work around,” but as a transformative, powerful chapter of your life.
Annette blends deep anatomical insight with tender, accessible movement to support your changing body with wisdom, not strain.
What You’ll Experience:
✅ Trimester-Responsive Design
Every stretch and strength exercise adapts to your evolving center of gravity, hormonal shifts, and postural changes—so you feel supported, not sore.
✅ Three Thoughtful Sections
• Seated Practice: Breath-aware alignment, upper-back strengthening, and gentle core engagement (safe for pregnancy) to ease forward weight shift and protect your spine.
• Pelvic Floor & Core Prep: Build coordination and control for labor—learning to activate and release these vital muscles with intention.
• Standing Strength: Stabilize hips and legs to relieve lower back tension, plus quad and hamstring release to keep you grounded as your belly grows.
• Deep Relaxation: Slow, nourishing stretches to boost circulation, ease joint discomfort, and calm your nervous system.
✅ Your Body, Your Pace
Do the full 40-minute flow—or just one section. Feeling tired? Stick to stretches. Energized? Add strengthening. This is fitness that listens.
Why It Matters:
This program doesn’t just prepare you for birth—it helps you recover faster, return stronger, and reconnect with your body’s innate wisdom. Many women even find their postpartum fitness surpasses their pre-pregnancy baseline—because they trained with intelligence, not intensity.
Perfect For:
- Expecting mothers seeking safe, expert-led prenatal movement
- Dancers and active women wanting to maintain strength without risk
- Anyone who believes pregnancy is not a pause—but a progression
Because your body isn’t just growing a baby.
It’s becoming a vessel of power, resilience, and grace.
