pregnancy & postnatal pilates

Exercise during pregnancy is not only safe for most people, but it’s highly beneficial and recommended.

Prenatal Pilates, in particular, is a gentle yet effective way to support your changing body.

Some of the numerous benefits include: improved aerobic and muscular fitness, strengthening of the deep core and pelvic floor muscles (which can reduce back pain, improve posture, and support your growing bump), promotion of appropriate weight gain and facilitation of labour. Regular movement can also boost circulation, ease swelling, improve sleep, and enhance overall mood and energy levels.

Our physio-led classes are designed with pregnancy in mind, offering safe modifications and a focus on controlled, mindful movement.

As always, it’s important to check with your healthcare provider before starting or continuing any exercise routine during pregnancy, especially if you have any specific medical considerations.

A calm, nourishing way to keep moving through pregnancy - safely, gently, and with a little extra support where you need it most.

This 6-week course is led by Carly Blackburn, a women's health physiotherapist and Pilates instructor. These pregnancy classes focus on strength, breath, pelvic floor connection, posture, and mobility, helping you feel more comfortable in your changing body and more confident as you prepare for birth and beyond.

Expect a warm, welcoming space to move, exhale, and reconnect.

This course is suitable during any stage of pregnancy once you have medical clearance to exercise. You are also welcome to join our Signature Mat Pilates classes during your first trimester, provided you have medical clearance.

Before joining this course, you’ll be asked to complete a clearance form. Depending on your responses, Carly may recommend that you attend a Movement Consultation first, to make sure the course is the right fit for you and that you can take part safely and confidently.

The course is 6 weeks (i.e. one class per week for 6 weeks).
