Pilates is one of best forms of exercises to do, both during and after pregnancy, its versatility means it can be adapted at any stage of pregnancy. It will help to increase your abdominal, back, and pelvic floor muscles, thus supporting a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery. This class will help keep up your energy levels and aid in maintaining a healthy body weight.

When pregnant, Pilates on a Reformer is the ideal way to exercise. This is because Reformers properly and safely support the body whilst the exercises strengthen the core muscles and improve flexibility and mobility. All of this not only helps during pregnancy and childbirth but can also support a faster recovery after the birth.

Because your body is undergoing constant changes during pregnancy, exercises on the Reformers are tailored and adapted to match each stage of your development. They’re sufficiently low impact to be safe and comfortable but the exercises are still effective enough to build strength, flexibility and endurance.
