Barre with Babes
​
Barre with Babes is a standing version of the Postnatal Pilates class. We will use mindful movement practices dancing to fun tunes, all while learning about our pelvic floor and breath work. You will learn how to squat, lunge, releve and dance while making sure you are connected and supported by your pelvic floor. We will start with Pilates breath work on the mat, and then incorporate standing dance moves in each class.

Ryann is a movement specialist with experience in fields from dance, circus and mime to Pilates, barre, and yoga. She started her movement journey doing physical theatre and aerial silks in university, and eventually founded an aerial silks performance company out of that passion. She was teaching fitness and aerial classes in her spare time, as well as performing around the States and as far away as the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Then, Ryann found love and moved to Halifax where she has been teaching Pilates and Barre classes. She completed her Stott Pilates training to learn about body mechanics, having been someone who struggled with injuries through her performance days. Ryann uses the Stott Pilates principles mixed with movement philosophies from her physical theatre explorations to create a mind-body experience like no other. She has also completed a Postnatal Fitness Specialist certification to be able to better assist postpartum people in their movement journeys. Her Postnatal Pilates style classes retrain and rehabilitate the core to give Mom the recovery she deserves. All of Ryann's classes are centered around the idea that joyful movement is the most powerful way to connect with your amazing body!

Postnatal Pilates
Postnatal Pilates is a mindful movement practice to help you relearn and reconnect with your body after giving birth. We will focus on the pelvic floor connection, and how our breath is intimately connected to it. The class will consist of standard Pilates moves modified to bring your awareness to the pelvic floor and how you can retrain it to work in coordination with the rest of the body. There will be mat work as well as standing work.
