Keeping You Active Before and After Pregnancy
You are in Safe Hands
Prenatal and Postnatal Reformer Pilates
At The Reformer Studio, we have a host of mums in our team. Many of us have been through the hardships of prenatal exercise and postnatal recovery. We have built two specially designed courses for mums and mums-to-be to safely experience the benefits of Pilates while being mindful of the changes to your body.
Prenatal Pilates
Our Prenatal Pilates course is great for both those who don't work out regularly and a great addition to those who do. Reformer Pilates is a low-impact exercise that focuses primarily on engaging the core muscles, often referred to as our powerhouse.
Exercise during pregnancy has been shown to be good for both you and your baby, and our Prenatal Pilates course specifically focuses on supporting the needs of your changing body in a way that is safe for both of you and accommodates the related changes that come with each trimester.

Benefits of Our Prenatal Course
-
Strengthen the core muscles.
-
Engaging the pelvic floor.
-
Working in movements that are both functional and challenging.
-
Use breathwork to facilitate further engagement of your core, providing you with greater support during exercise and your everyday life as you get further along in your pregnancy and into labour.
Recommended for those who are 14+ weeks pregnant.
We look forward to seeing you in the studio and supporting you on this very special journey.
Postnatal Pilates
Our Postnatal Pilates course is geared towards anyone looking to reintroduce exercise after giving birth in a safe and attentive way to both your physical and mental health needs. Reformer Pilates, in particular, is a low-impact exercise focusing primarily on engaging the core muscles, often referred to as our powerhouse. As a result of accommodating our babies' needs, we often experience tightness in our lower bodies and trunks.
Our program consistently incorporates stretching to facilitate lengthening through the lower body and extension and rotation through the upper body, addressing the impacts of pregnancy and postnatal demands. Join us and allow yourself time for self-care to heal and breathe into better health for you and your family. Babies that are not crawling/walking yet are welcome to join you for the class.
