"I was teaching prenatal yoga in my living room before finding Mavericks. Having a professional space completely transformed my practice. My clients love the private, comfortable environment, and I can offer both private sessions and small group classes. The space is perfect for prenatal work. calm, clean, and welcoming. I've built a thriving practice with 25+ regular clients."
"As a pre/postnatal fitness specialist, I needed a space that felt safe and comfortable for pregnant clients. Mavericks is perfect. not intimidating like a gym, but professional and well-equipped. I can do everything from prenatal strength training to pelvic floor work to birth prep. My clients appreciate the privacy and the fact that the space is designed for their needs."

Many specialists also have doula training, pelvic floor certifications, or prenatal yoga certifications. You'll need general liability insurance that covers prenatal instruction, and we'll need to see proof of both certification and insurance.
