SUPPORTIVE MOVEMENT FOR ALL STAGES OF PARENTHOOD
PREGNANCY PILATES AND YOGA
Pregnancy is not a pause on movement. Staying strong and supported throughout, and rebuilding with confidence in postpartum, is one of the most meaningful things you can do for your body during this season.
Rosy Movement's Pregnancy Pilates and Yoga is safe, intentional movement that builds a strong foundation for birth and a starting point for recovery after.
Alannah, Susan, and Leia understand that no two pregnancies, births, or recoveries are the same. Your programming won't pretend otherwise.
ROSY’S APPROACH TO
MATERNAL MOVEMENT
PLANNING STAGE Build strength, mobility, and body awareness as you prepare for pregnancy. Sessions focus on developing the physiological and postural foundations that will support you well throughout pregnancy and beyond.
PREGNANCY STAGE Staying active during pregnancy is one of the most evidence-supported things you can do for yourself, your birth, and your recovery. Programming adapts across each trimester — keeping you strong, mobile, and supported as your body changes, without unnecessary restriction or fear around what you can and can't do.
POSTPARTUM STAGE A return to movement that respects your recovery in collaboration with your wider health care team. Sessions focus on restoring core and pelvic floor function, addressing the physical demands of new parenthood, and rebuilding strength progressively.
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 accessible bathroom, comfortable seating for feeding, space for prams, and a judgment-free atmosphere.
RESEARCH-INFORMED APPROACH Alannah, Susan, and Leia ground all programming in current evidence and maternal exercise guidelines, while remaining responsive to your individual experience.
FULL EQUIPMENT ADAPTATION Our complete range of Pilates apparatus — Reformer, Cadillac, Wunda Chair, Spine Corrector, Ladder Barrel — alongside props and free weights, is fully adapted for pregnancy and postpartum bodies. The goal is always appropriate, progressive movement that keeps you strong throughout.
EDUCATION AND BODY MECHANICS How you move outside the studio matters as much as what happens in it. We provide practical guidance on lifting, carrying, feeding positions, and load management to give you tools to support your body through pregnancy and new parenthood.
COMMUNITY CONNECTION Semi-private sessions create space to move alongside others navigating the same season of life. During a time that may feel overwhelming and isolating, social connection is part of the support.
WHAT MAKES ROSY MOVEMENT’S PREGNANCY PILATES AND YOGA DIFFERENT
HOW OUR PREGNANCY PILATES WORKS
INITIAL CONSULTATION We begin with a thorough conversation and movement observation 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 with Alannah, Susan, or Leia for undivided one-to-one attention, or semi-private sessions with a maximum of four participants — each working from their own personalised programme with individual instructor attention.
EQUIPMENT VARIETY Sessions incorporate our full range of Pilates apparatus, props and strength equipment thoughtfully adjusted your comfort and safety.
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 design choice helps shift attention from external appearance to internal sensation.
CONVERSATION-FIRST APPROACH Sessions begin with a thoughtful check-in. We ask, we listen, and we attune to what you need that day — so the movement prescription always meets you where you are.
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.
A SPACE DESIGNED FOR COMFORT
PREGNANCY PILATES FAQs
-
Yes. Exercise during pregnancy is not only safe for most people — the evidence strongly supports it. Our programming follows current maternal exercise guidelines and adapts continuously as your body changes, keeping you strong and active throughout.
-
Regular movement and strength training supports pelvic floor function, postural changes, back and pelvic pain, sleep, and mood — throughout pregnancy and into recovery. The programming simply evolves with your body at every stage, with modifications that reflect where you are and what you need.
-
Absolutely. Our studio welcomes babies at all sessions. We’ve designed the space and schedule to accommodate feeding, changing, and the unpredictability of life with a newborn.
-
Absolutely. Many clients come to us during pregnancy with no prior experience. Everything is tailored to where you're starting from, with programming that progresses appropriately as you build strength and confidence throughout each stage.
-
Every birth and recovery is different. Gentle, appropriate movement can often begin earlier than 6-8 weeks — but what that looks like depends entirely on your birth experience, your body, and your symptoms. We work closely with your healthcare provider's guidance and take a progressive approach that respects your healing timeline rather than a one-size-fits-all return date.
