Inside a Pregnancy Pilates class.
Every class is designed around a changing body. Exercises safely strengthen your core, improve spinal alignment (essential as your bump grows) and help maintain healthy joint mobility – all contributing to a more comfortable pregnancy and preparing your body for labour.
Arrive & settle in
Grab a mat and get comfortable. Let your instructor know how you're feeling today and about any changes since your last class.
Breath & pelvic floor
We start by connecting breath with gentle pelvic floor and deep core work – the foundations for everything that follows.
Strength & stability
Supported exercises for your core, glutes, back and arms, adapted for each trimester so you can work at the right level for you.
Mobility & alignment
Gentle movement to ease your hips, back and shoulders and keep your posture strong as your bump grows.
Relax & restore
We finish with stretching and relaxation – a calm, unhurried moment just for you and your baby.
Every exercise has options, and you can always rest or modify – you're in charge of how much you do.
Feel strong, supported and comfortable.
Pilates is low-impact and endlessly adaptable, which makes it a lovely way to keep moving through pregnancy. Our classes focus on the areas that matter most as your body changes.
