Pilates FAQs

  • Yes. Pilates is a gentle movement that’s highly recommended throughout pregnancy to help prepare for birth and support postpartum recovery. Other benefits of pilates during pregnancy include reduced back and pelvic pain, improved mood, better sleep, more energy and better labour and recovery.

  • While the Physical Activity Guidelines for Pregnancy recommend 150 to 300 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise spread out throughout the week, ideally on most days, we believe even getting to one of two pilates classes a week can be beneficial for you and your baby. Listen to you body and do as much or as little as feels good for you.

  • Reformer Pilates is a safe way to move your body during pregnancy, especially if you’re doing private or small supportive classes where the movements can be tailored and modified for comfort and control.
