What to Expect

Your hosts will guide you through the following sessions...

BIOMECHANICS FOR BIRTH

Gain an insight into the physiology of birth, your baby's journey through the pelvis, and how you can assist this journey with optimal positioning, learning how and when to make space for your baby during pregnancy and labour.

PILATES FOR PREGNANCY

This specially created Pilates for Pregnancy session includes exercises to help you feel prepared to actively birth your baby. No previous Pilates experience is needed. Gina will guide you through every step.

POSITIVE BIRTH MINDSET

Helping you to put yourself at the centre of your birth experience by furnishing you with the key to create your own positive affirmations to use in the run up to your birth, and to help protect your safe and calm mindset during labour. Have a go at writing your own affirmations that you can take with you.

Your Hosts

Gina Craig | Founder Be:Poised Pilates

Pre & Postnatal Pilates Specialist

Gina is the founder and owner of Be:Poised Pilates Ltd, based at our host studios for this event at Lavant House.

Gina is a Pregnancy and Postnatal Pilates specialist, having trained with international leaders in the pre and postnatal movement & wellness space including the Carolyn Anthony Method, Burrell Education, APPI. and more.

She brings with her 8 years of experience using Pilates to support clients during their pregnancy, and empowering them to work with their changing body during pregnancy.

Her approach is supportive and encouraging. She believes that Pilates in Pregnancy isn’t just about modifying exercises to make them “pregnancy safe” but about choosing the right exercises that will best benefit the pregnant body at this time.

Samantha Adams | The South Downs Doula

Birth & Postnatal Doula, KGHypnobirthing Instructor

Samantha, also known as The South Downs Doula, supports women and their families through pregnancy, birth and the postnatal period. She is trained in Biomechanics for Birth and KG Hypnobirthing, and uses her knowledge and skills in these key areas to help empower women through the birthing process.

Sam’s taster talks at Be:Poised Pilates in 2025 were the catalyst for this workshop. We noticed that so many of our attendees wanted to know more about birth biomechanics, and how they can feel empowered in their own birth experience. From this our Birth in Motion workshop was born.

Sam passionately believes that every woman deserves to be heard, held and lovingly supported through all aspects of becoming a mother.
