The Truth About Prenatal Pilates with Victoria Roper

In this episode, I sit down with Balanced Body Master Trainer and prenatal specialist Victoria Roper to talk about what really makes a great Pilates instructor. We dig into why "engage your core" is often meaningless cueing, and why slowing down beats rushing through certification. Victoria shares hard truths about postnatal recovery, from the outdated "six weeks and you're cleared" myth to the lack of proper C-section scar care. It's a candid, practical conversation for any instructor working with prenatal or postnatal clients, and for anyone curious about the gaps in women's health education.
