"In
healing ( both emotionally and physically) from my C-section, Wendy's
MAMAlates! class gave me simple "target" exercises that helped me
regain all around physical strength -especially strength in
my abdomen. I also found that the breathing/stretching routines have kept me grounded throughout my daily challenges of Motherhood."
