The Mindfulsoul Studio offers prenatal Pilates and strength classes designed by our founder Olivia Brierley, yoga instructor Puravi Joshi and specialist post-natal strength specialist Laura Lucas.
All of the classes are available for women at any stage of their pregnancy. They are designed to help your body prepare before and after your baby arrives. Olivia filmed most of the content during her pregnancy, and these videos will guide you during your unique pregnancy journey.
When Olivia came off the contraceptive pill a few years ago, hoping to conceive, she was met with debilitating pain. She later underwent excision laparoscopy surgery and was diagnosed with stage 2 endometriosis, adenomyosis and PCOS. Olivia has always believed in holistic practices, so she started cycle-syncing shortly after being diagnosed. After 3 months of syncing her diet, exercise and lifestyle to the four phases of her cycle, she noticed changes in her skin, mood, cycle length and, most importantly, less PMS pain.
After 6 months of cycle syncing, she fell pregnant. After years of researching the female body, maintaining a holistic approach to pregnancy became her passion.
During pregnancy, women’s bodies change on a daily basis. Olivia and Laura have designed classes that will guide you through all stages, accounting for how you might be feeling at any given time. During pregnancy supporting your body with regular exercise and movement is more important than ever. At The Mindfulsoul Studio, we recognise that every cycle and pregnancy is unique. In relation to exercise, there are certain precautions we must follow beyond the first trimester.
Often in pregnancy we are unsure how to support our body correctly. We hope these classes make you feel safe at home following our programmes. The classes focus on stretching your hips and spine and strengthening your glutes and pelvic floor to support your pelvis and prepare for labour. Also, we have incorporated lots of focus on the upper body in preparation for feeding and holding your little one.
Please note it is essential to seek clearance from your GP before taking part in classes on The Mindfulsoul Studio and please get in touch with the team if you have any queries or concerns.
We are launching our postnatal classes soon!
When we launch the postnatal classes you will need to see your GP or obstetrician to be cleared for exercise again.
Having a newborn and finding time to move can be stressful. That is why we have designed a postnatal series that you can enjoy from the comfort of your home, while being close to your little one.
The recovery period after pregnancy varies for everyone and you need to allow your body time to rest. When you are feeling ready, let our postnatal specialist Laura Lucas guide you safely back to feeling strong and confident.
