Pilates for Women

Pilates is very safe to do pre- and postpartum. It is so important for women to try to keep moving. As a mother of three, I have learned this the hard way. A lot of changes occur in the body and moving will help you strengthen and stretch these adapting muscles, along with helping our mental health and taking time to ourselves.

Benefits of Pilates for Women

Pilates is one of the safest and most effective ways to stay strong through pregnancy and beyond. Here's why it works.

Strengthens Your Pelvic Floor

Targeted exercises help support your pelvic floor during pregnancy and aid recovery postpartum.

Eases Aches and Pains

Gentle movement helps relieve the back pain, hip discomfort, and tension that often come with a changing body.

Prepares Your Body for Labour

Build strength, stamina, and body awareness to feel more confident and ready for birth.

Safe at Every Stage

Sessions are adapted to your trimester, energy levels, and individual needs.

Supports Postnatal Recovery

Reawaken your core muscles safely and rebuild strength from the inside out after birth.

Time for You

An hour to focus on yourself, your body, and your wellbeing during a demanding time.

Pilates in Pregnancy

Any issues or injuries from the past can be highlighted during pregnancy as the joints become more mobile. Pilates will give you the foundations and understanding of how to position and secure your body safely, and get you ready for labour and beyond.

Pre-Natal Pilates

Exercise during pregnancy helps strengthen your body, increases awareness, helps maintain weight and self confidence. Women who exercise during pregnancy tend to have a shorter labour and fewer delivery complications.Sessions vary in intensity depending on the stage of pregnancy and energy levels.
Available as Private 1-2-1 or Group

Post Natal Pilates

Guidelines recommend waiting 6-12 weeks after birth to start exercise, depending on individual circumstances. Some mothers are given Pilates-based rehabilitation exercises before leaving hospital and we can help you continue and progress these.

Private vs. Group Sessions

Not sure which option is right for you? Give us a call and we'll help you decide.

Private 1-2-1 Sessions

Sessions for both pre and post natal women allowing you to get 100% attention. You can ask any specific questions you may have and we can help address any issues. During the sessions we can move at a pace that is comfortable for you along with having the privacy to ask questions that you may not want to ask in a group setting.

Group Classes

Group classes allow you to be social and interact with other women. Experiences and advice can be shared along with having other people there that understand what you are going through. It's an hour to get away and do something for yourself while making yourself stronger from the inside out.

Hi, I'm Laura

As a mother of three who has had both natural and cesarean deliveries, I know how much pregnancy changes your body and how hard it can be to feel like yourself again.

Whether you're preparing for birth, rebuilding your strength postpartum, or just need an hour to focus on yourself, I'm here to guide you through it.
