PRE & POST-NATAL SPECIALIST PILATES CERTIFICATIONTM 

The Pregnancy Fitness Program

Using the stability ball and Pilates principles of core stability, we bring you a unique program that is designed for the pregnant woman from first trimester to labor. This program gently and safely prepares the body for the rigors of labor and realigns the body for successful birthing. Carolyne Anthony’s program is holistic in nature, working with the body to open and release in time for the birth.

The Postpartum Rehabilitation Program

This program begins with very gentle exercises that are started within hours of the birth. Using the stability ball and Pilates exercises, the postpartum woman is guided through a series of exercises that close the abdominals, realign the spine and rehabilitate the pelvic floor. The aim of the program is to gently rebuild the body’s strength from the inside out, healing from the trauma of birth. Diastasis-recti and separation of the pubic bone are addressed, and techniques given on how to heal them.

Course Facilitator

Carolyne Anthony started her professional career as a dancer in London, England in 1982, where she was first introduced to Pilates by Alan Herdman. She obtained her teaching degree in 1982 from The Stella Mann School of Dancing and is a Member of The Royal Academy of Dancing as well as an Associate of The Imperial Society of Teachers of Dance (AISTD). She continued dancing with small companies in Spain, Europe and Africa before her husband's job brought them to The United States.

Carolyne was a professor of dance at the Hartford Conservatory of Music and Dance and also the Artistic Director of the Enfield Civic Ballet Company during her stay in Connecticut. She also danced with the New England Dance Theatre. Carolyne subsequently became very interested in the exercise world and was certified as a group exercise leader by AFAA and as an aquatics instructor by AEA. She is also currently certified to teach Pilates (Core Grace) and Yamuna Body Rolling.

While pregnant with her first child in 1988, she could not find a way to exercise that seemed safe and specific to her needs. She began to look into special programs for pregnant women and became certified with Sylvia Klein Olkin's Positive Pregnancy and Post partum Fitness programs. She became one of Sylvia's Master Teachers in 1993, as well as a close, personal friend. She worked with Sylvia on developing the programs. After Sylvia's death, she carried on her legacy by teaching and developing the programs further.

Today you have the very successful "Pregnancy Fitness Program"™ and "Post Partum Rehabilitation Program"™. These programs are holistic and work according to a woman's specific needs during the childbearing years. Full use is made of the birthing balls.

As Master Teacher and inspiration for The Center, Carolyne has led classes through the Ann Arbor studio, and certified fitness instructors, physiotherapists, doulas, yogis, and others from around the world to teach The Center's specialized programs.

In 1997, Carolyne added Teacher Training Certification to her repertoire and has successfully certified teachers in the USA, Canada, Malaysia, Australia, Japan and China. Today, she travels internationally conducting workshops and seminars. Carolyne is an accomplished speaker and presenter.
