Pregnant or Post Natal
How Do I Begin Taking The Bar Method When I’m Pregnant?
First, bring a note from your doctor stating that you can safely participate in strengthening and stretching exercise classes while you are pregnant.
If you’ve never exercised at The Bar Method, we recommend that you take several Bar Online Pre-Natal classes so that your body gently becomes accustomed to the exercises and deep muscle work (while it’s already undergoing lots of other changes due to your growing belly). After you’re familiar with the class, it will be easier to start taking regular beginner or mixed class.
How do I modify the class when I’m pregnant?
There are several modifications that we recommend for pregnant clients, including:
Stall-bar stretch:
Skip the stretch on the stall bar, which students usually perform before and after class, so as not to over-stretch your internal organs.
"Cobra" or "counter-stretch":
Do a “cat stretch” on your hands and knees instead of “cobra stretch”
Thigh stretch:
During thigh stretch series, do not take the option to do a split (due to hormonal changes, pregnant students are more flexible in their hips so it’s important to stretch gently). Instead, stick with the “hamstring stretch” position.
How do I modify the class when I’m 20 weeks or more into my pregnancy?
Continue to use the modifications above, and add the following ones:
One-weight lifts:
For one-weight lifts, work with your back at less of a forward angle or hold onto the bar for balance.
Pushups:
You can do pushups against the bar with your heels up or down.
Stretch at the bar:
Do stretch at the bar in a kneeling position.
Seat-work:
For seat-work, replace the “fold-over” and “arabesque” exercises with “standing seat” or “diagonal seat.”
Round-back:
In round-back, place three or four riser mats under your large exercise mat (your instructor will give them to you). Lean on the risers so that your spine is at no more than 45 degrees back. The risers allow you to gently stretch your lower back and work your lower abs at the same time. This position
will keep the weight of your uterus from tiling back onto major blood vessels. Hold onto a strap over the arch of your extended foot.
Flat-back:
In flat-back, keep one or both of your feet on the floor if you feel uncomfortable lifting both at the same time.
Curl:
In curl, lean on three or four “riser” mats as you did during “round-back.” Substitute both versions of “clam” and “low curl with one or both legs up” with any of the other curl exercises that are taught with both feet on the floor. Start and stop as needed during the curl section.
Stretches after curl:
During the stretches after curl, do the sitting “mermaid stretch” (shown) in place of the prone back stretch. Sit up with both knees bent to one side. Lift your opposite arm and gently lean your torso sideways towards your feet
Back-dancing:
Modify “back-dancing” by kneeling in front of the bar and holding onto it rather than lying down.
Final stretch:
In the final stretch, replace butterfly stretch with a half lotus stretch. During the “strap stretch,” sit up and place one foot in the strap. Place your other leg with a bent knee on the floor for stability.
