Duo Pilates, located in Coorparoo, is a welcoming and nurturing Pilates studio owned by Alexandra Harris, an experienced Registered Nurse and Pre/Post Natal Pilates Specialist. This studio aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for individuals seeking Pre and Post Natal Pilates services.
For expecting mothers, Duo Pilates offers a Saturday Morning Mat Class specifically designed for pregnancy. This class is held from 7:30am to 8:30am at Coorparoo Hall, located on 210 Cavendish Road, Coorparoo. Prior to joining the class, participants are advised to seek clearance from their doctor or physiotherapist to ensure the safety of their exercise during pregnancy.
Following childbirth, the body goes through numerous changes, and it becomes crucial to gradually reintroduce exercise. At Duo Pilates, Alex is committed to empowering new mothers by providing education on breathing techniques, pelvic floor and core engagement. This knowledge fosters confidence and allows individuals to make informed decisions before joining a group Pilates class. Duo Pilates offers three options to support this transition process.
Firstly, the studio runs a 6-week Post Natal Programme, starting every 6 weeks at Coorparoo Hall. However, during Alex's absence due to maternity leave, clients can access her online Post Natal Programme, which consists of a comprehensive 12-part video series. The videos, each focused on different aspects of postnatal recovery, last around 10 minutes and provide gentle exercises to ease individuals back into various forms of exercise, including Pilates, running, and strength training.
Alternatively, those seeking more personal guidance during this delicate phase can opt for private 1-on-1 sessions at the Camp Hill Home Studio. Instructors at Duo Pilates will walk clients through the transition process, offering personalised support and guidance.
Duo Pilates also offers a 6-week Post Natal Programme supervised by Alex Richardson, designed specifically for women who are 0-6 months postpartum. This programme takes place every Tuesday and Friday at 11am, located at 210 Cavendish Road, Coorparoo. The programme not only focuses on rebuilding strength and flexibility but also provides an opportunity for new moms to socialise, share experiences, and enjoy a coffee together after the session. Limited to only 12 spots, this programme allows for personalised attention and care.
