I am pregnant can I take your classes?
If there are no underlying health conditions and your physician or midwife has cleared you to workout, then Yes, you can take Vlada’s classes. Please note that you need prior experience to handle Dumbbells (heavy and light). Staying active during pregnancy can ease morning sickness, elevate mood, increase strength and reduce pain with a proper strengthening routine.
If you are pregnant and not sure what class to take, please email Vlada at info@vladafit.com
My doctor told me I have Diastasis Recti, what core exercises can I do?
Some natural stretching and diastasis formation during pregnancy is completely normal. If your doctor or midwife has confirmed that you have more than a 2-finger width separation between your rectus muscles, then a personal training program would be the right fit for you. The wrong exercises or movement patterns can cause a DR to worsen, while individualized training can help heal your DR safely by strengthening your core and pelvic floor muscles with specific exercises and strategic techniques.
Do you offer modification or progressions in your classes?
Yes. During class, you will hear Vlada offer both progressions and regressions. Please adjust your movement and load to what your body needs. If you are pregnant or recovering from an injury, please let Vlada know before class starts so she can better assist you.
