Next TPG Meeting - 09/18

Speaker: Dani from Urban Heroes Tokyo Time & date: Thursday, 18th of September 2025 at 11:00am Topic: Fitness during pregnancy and post-natal recovery Info: Hi mothers of Tokyo, I’m Dani, coach at Urban Heroes Tokyo, an international outdoor fitness community, located in the heart of Tokyo. Originally coming from Germany, we moved to Japan with my husband and my two girls. As a passionate fitness coach, I want to inspire women to exercise when pregnant and help the post-natal women in their recovery. This session is tailored for expecting mothers, where we explore the benefits of staying active throughout pregnancy and postpartum. Discover how gentle exercises and mindful movement not only support your physical health, but also enhance your mental wellbeing, preparing you for the transformative journey ahead. We also have time to answer any potential questions or doubts. For instance, we often meet pregnant women feeling insecure about how to work out safely during pregnancy, and when postpartum just the thought of getting out of the door can feel very overwhelming. We want to give you the opportunity of getting a smooth start and support you in any way we can. Location: Zoom (link will be sent out shortly before the meeting to those who reserve their spot)
