Our new Pregnancy Exercise Classes will take place three times a week - Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday - at 10:15 a.m. in West Hollywood.  This class was designed in 2003 in the San Francisco Marina studio and has been going strong there ever since. 

Burr writes, "Studies have shown that regular exercise during pregnancy decreases backaches and discomfort due to swollen feet, makes women less likely to gain excessive weight, decreases the risk of diabetes, and improves mood and self-esteem. Babies of pregnant women who exercise have been found as a group to be leaner, calmer and generally healthier at birth. Then there is the moral support attending an exercise class with other pregnant women provides."

Brand new students who are already pregnant can start at Bar Method in these Pre-Natal Classes.  The new students will then  have the option either of attending those specialty classes for their entire pregnancy or, after taking at least five Pre-Natal Classes, of going into the regular Mixed or Level 1 Classes.

*Please bring in a note from your doctor stating that strengthening and stretching exercise classes are safe for you to take while pregnant.
