Yes. Pilates and Yoga can be a very safe way to prepare your body for, and during pregnancy. Provided you have been practicing regularly you can most likely continue to attend Level 1 Reformer, Stretch + Recover Reformer and Yoga throughout your entire pregnancy. We may ask you to obtain medical clearance. We recommend consulting with your health care professional first and always let your instructor know at the start of your class so they can provide any modifications as needed. Our Level 2 are not suitable for new prenatal clients with no Pilates experience. However we recommend you do a few of our Level 1 + Stretch and Recover classes or a private sessions first if you are a beginner, then join our Level 2 classes with modifications.

As the inventor of Pilates, Joseph Pilates, famously said “You will feel better in 10 sessions, look better in 20 session, and have a completely new body in 30 sessions”. Pilates is a high intensity, low impact workout focussing on strengthening and muscle conditioning in a safe and effective way. Pilates has many benefits from helping people who suffer from poor posture, back pain, weak pelvic floor and tight muscles to really toning and sculpting the body and results are visible in a short amount of time. We recommend 3 classes a week to see and feel the results.

ABSOLUTLEY! Did you know the Pilates Reformer machine was designed by a bloke ?! YES Joseph Pilates.. Pilates has a certain stigma that it's "only for women" BUT pilates reformer has so many benefits both both sexes. Males in particular can benefit from balancing out the muscle groups and is a perfect addition to compliment your current training. Men traditionally can suffer from tight muscles and a weaker core, pilates reformer can help by lengthening and strengthening muscles you didn't even know you had while stretching and improving overall flexibility - and you use your abdominals in nearly every exercise, so goodbye to that niggly back pain and hunchy shoulders - pilates is GREAT for your posture. We will focus more on upper body and may use heavier weights during your class.
