The Lotus Method

Started with Jess while I was still TTC (a sort of «if you build it, they will come» type of thing) and have completely loved it! I’ve never been especially athletic, so I was a little nervous about feeling awkward or embarrassed, but no need to be! Everything has been completely at my level and I feel totally comfortable with her and all the exercises she guides me through. I’m now 16 weeks preggo and looking forward to working with her all the way to the end!
Plus a good girlfriend of mine said she worked with Caitlin before her first and her labor was only 4 hours. #goals.

Jess at TLM was amazing! She helped me get into my pre-​preggo jeans in just three months and kept me laughing the entire time. Oh did I mention I gained 65 lbs and that I was pregnant with TWINS? #miracleworker

Caitlin, Emily, Haley and the gang are really amazing.
I am a physical therapist and pilates instructor who specializes in prenatal & postpartum mamas, but when I needed someone to help me, I started coming to the Lotus Method. I started at the Financial District location but it was a hard commute from the Marina area so I was thrilled when they opened up this location, which is so beautiful btw. Check out those floors!
I started with Caitlin after a miscarriage and was trying to get my body prepared for getting pregnant again with our second child. Caitlin helped me through my fertility period as well as my prenatal back pains. It’s been 9 weeks since the birth of my 2^nd & I’ve been training 2 x a week. It’s made such a difference in my back pain and pelvic instability. I have a toddler and infant now, so when I try to work out at home on my own, I barely get started with someone starts crying or needing something from me. It’s been a really important part of my postpartum health (physically, mentally & emotionally) to have this hour of exercise to myself.
Cait and the Lotus Method are more than «just personal training». As a Doctor of Physical Therapy, I can attest to their rehab-​based approach and smart training techniques. It is so important to get your body back to a strong healthy place before and after birth because those little mignons don’t get less demanding as they grow up!

The newest location of TLM is up and running: all I can say is the neighborhood just got an upgrade!
The trainers here bring their long earned expertise in Pre and Perinatal exercise and execute in a gorgeous full-​service studio on Union St. I worked with them for the duration of my second pregnancy (wish i’d be aware of them for my first) and they’ve provided personalized and dynamic insight from trimester one until delivery (i’m 39 weeks now). Wonderful too is the community of women one meets therein– on a weekly basis clients have a private session or two, and then partake weekly in a group class where other similarly situated clients share a workout. Always challenging, fun and to a great soundtrack, the emphasis is even beyond conditioning– breathework focused on best practices for labor and to benefit postpartum recovery, movement patterns for pushing and maintaining ab integrity. It’s all there. Intentional and individualized approach. I’m so grateful to be going into my second delivery fit, grounded and with a thoughtful plan for quick bounce back; my toddler requires it of me. Can’t recommend them more highly!
