SUPPORTIVE MOVEMENT FOR ALL STAGES OF THE MOTHERHOOD

PREGNANCY + PILATES

Rosy Movement’s Pregnancy Pilates offers thoughtfully tailored movement for planning, pregnancy, and postpartum phases in a welcoming environment that understands the unique needs of this transformative time. Our Collingwood studio provides evidence-based, adaptive Pilates that grows with you throughout your motherhood journey.

ROSY’S APPROACH TO
MATERNAL MOVEMENT

PLANNING STAGE Build strength, mobility, and body awareness that prepares you physically and mentally for pregnancy. These sessions focus on establishing foundational movement patterns that will serve you throughout pregnancy and beyond.

PREGNANCY STAGE Experience movement that adapts to your changing body week by week. Our pregnancy-specific programming responds to each trimester’s unique challenges while maintaining strength and comfort.

POSTPARTUM STAGE Reconnect with your body after birth with sessions that respect your recovery timeline and address the physical demands of caring for a newborn. We focus on core strength, addressing postural changes, movement patterns that enhance everyday activities, and supporting your overall recovery.

DESIGNED FOR REAL LIFE

BABIES WELCOME Your baby is always welcome in our sessions—no need to arrange childcare. Our space accommodates feeding, changing, and the natural rhythms of life with a newborn.

FLEXIBLE SCHEDULING We understand that pregnancy and new parenthood don’t follow predictable schedules. Our booking system allows for easy rescheduling when needed.

SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT Our private, comfortable studio includes amenities that matter: accessible bathroom, comfortable seating for feeding, space for prams, and a judgment-free atmosphere.

EVIDENCE-BASED APPROACH All programming follows current research and guidelines for maternal exercise while recognizing the individuality of each pregnancy and recovery journey.

FULL EQUIPMENT ADAPTATION We adapt our complete range of equipment—Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, and mat work—with specific modifications for pregnancy and postpartum bodies.

COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT Beyond physical movement, we provide education about body mechanics for daily activities like lifting, carrying, and feeding to support your changing needs.

COMMUNITY CONNECTION Optional semi-private sessions create opportunities to connect with others in similar life stages, fostering community during a time when it matters most.

WHAT MAKES ROSY MOVEMENT’S PREGNANCY PILATES DIFFERENT

HOW OUR PREGNANCY PILATES WORKS

INITIAL CONSULTATION We begin with a thorough assessment that considers your specific stage, physical condition, and goals. For pregnancy, we note your trimester and any pregnancy-specific considerations; for postpartum, we discuss your birth experience and recovery progress.

SESSION OPTIONS Choose between private sessions for maximum personalisation or semi-private sessions (maximum three participants) for the added benefit of community connection.

EQUIPMENT VARIETY Sessions incorporate our full range of Pilates apparatus, thoughtfully modified for your comfort and safety at every stage of your journey.

COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR HEALTHCARE TEAM With your permission, we coordinate with your healthcare providers to ensure your movement program aligns with your overall maternal care plan.

At Rosy Movement, we've intentionally created an environment that prioritises your comfort and reduces the anxiety often associated with movement spaces:

NO MIRRORS Our studio deliberately omits wall-to-wall mirrors, allowing you to focus on how movement feels rather than how it looks. This simple design choice helps shift attention from external appearance to internal sensation.

CONVERSATION-FIRST APPROACH Sessions begin with genuine conversation, not immediate exercise. We take time to check in about how you're feeling, what's happened since your last visit, and what your body needs today.

PRIVACY BY DESIGN Our thoughtfully arranged blinds and curtains can be adjusted to create the level of privacy you prefer. The studio layout ensures you won't feel exposed or on display during your session.

ONLINE OPTIONS For those who feel most comfortable in their own space, we offer comprehensive online sessions. These maintain the same personalised approach while allowing you to move in familiar surroundings.

This careful attention to comfort isn't just about being nice—it's essential for creating an environment where true learning and physical progress can happen. When your nervous system feels safe, your body becomes more receptive to movement exploration and change.

A SPACE DESIGNED FOR COMFORT
