Pilates for Pregnancy

If you’re pregnant, this class is for you! You can start this course at any point after week 13 of your pregnancy – and it’s never too late to begin. We’ll adapt our support as your pregnancy progresses, so you can continue with classes right up until you give birth. Two clients have called us the ‘baby whisperers’ as they each went into labour following their prenatal Pilates classes – with two pregnancies!

After your baby has arrived, you can also consider transitioning to our Pilates for New Mums classes, where your baby will be welcome to join us too.

Our Pilates for Pregnancy online classes include:

• A 30-minute one-to-one deep-screening Zoom session when you sign up- we’ll discuss your goals and establish the bespoke steps you can take to achieve them.
• 6 x 60-minute online pregnancy Pilates sessions via Zoom – we’ll introduce you to positions for labour, breathing techniques and support you as you prepare your body and mind for your birthing experience.
• Exclusive access to the classes and exercise videos in our members area
• Digital “Goody Bag” which includes video interviews with a midwife, nutritionist, women’s health osteopath and women’s health physio
• Access to Hypnobirthing tracks.
• PDF downloads on nutrition and wellness as well as birth affirmations.
• 10% off the Centred Postnatal Recovery online course.

Please share any health concerns or challenges you may be experiencing. We have in-depth experience of pregnancy-related conditions including diastasis-recti, pelvic floor dysfunction (including prolapse), pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, back and neck problems and carpal tunnel syndrome.

FAQs

What should I wear? As long as you are comfortable and can move easily, it doesn’t matter what you are wearing. You may warm up through the class, so it is worth considering layers that you can remove easily.

How many people will be in my class? We book a maximum of ten mums onto our pregnancy classes to make sure you get plenty of individual tuition.

Do I have to buy a block of classes? We believe block bookings are the best way to ensure you really see the benefit of the sessions, so we only book this way. We don’t take drop-ins because we want to screen you fully before you start, so we can get to know your body and make sure that you get the most out of the classes.

What will I need? You’ll need an exercise mat and some water along with several pieces of equipment – a spiky massage ball, a TheraBand, an over ball and a ‘magic’ fascial release ball. If you don’t already own these items, you’ll have the option of adding our £25 Equipment Bundle to your order when you book.

Is there parking at the venue for face-to-face classes in St Albans? If you are able to attend a pregnancy Pilates class face-to-face in St Albans there will be parking available, St Michael’s Memorial Hall has a large car park. Please bear in mind when parking, that there is another class straight after this one.

Can all pregnant women attend these classes? We’ll screen you fully before you come along to the sessions. In the case of some medical conditions we may need consent from your doctor or midwife to ensure the safety of you and your baby. In very rare circumstances, your doctor may advise you not to exercise during your pregnancy. Unfortunately, in these cases, the classes won’t be suitable for you.
