Can I do Pilates whilst pregnant?
You should check with your doctor before doing any exercise during pregnancy. However, if your doctor gives you the go ahead then Pilates can be particularly suitable for pregnant women, since it is a low-impact form of exercise that strengthens your back, core and pelvic floor muscles. Exercises can be modified to make them more comfortable whilst pregnant. We would recommend private sessions so a programme can be designed to suit your individual needs.
How many people can come to your sessions?
Maximum of 8 people per class / session.
