Post and Pre Natal
Pilates is a non-impact workout that increases flexibility, strength and muscle tone, and is safe to practice during pregnancy. Because it focuses on your core, practicing Pilates on a regular basis can improve posture, alleviate backaches, and ultimately help with labor and delivery.
It’s usually a good idea to wait until after your 6-week postnatal check before you start any exercise.

Questions & Answers
These are my client’s most frequently asked questions.
All of our workouts are designed to be used without equipment.
However, certain workouts or exercises can be intensified by using equipment.
But of course, if you don’t want to use equipment, that’s also fine.
In studio all your equipment is provided and sterilised after each use but you’re welcome to bring your own too.
At home workouts may require equipment e.g weights. If you dont have any, most household items can be used as alternatives.
1kg dumbbells (about 2-3 lbs), a loop band (booty band) & soft over-all (booty ball). Ankle weights are optional in some sessions as well. Occasionally we make use of long therabands 1.5 – 2m length and a pilates ring (magic circle)
For our Barre classes, we recommend using a sturdy stool, chair, table, or whatever else you can find, that hits at about elbow height.
For Mobility classes a long foam roller of about 90cm is recommended.
We offer pre and postnatal classes designed specifically for new moms and moms to be. Karen has also provided tips on how to alter other classes to fit your needs both on our website and during the workouts themselves.
You don’t need any Pilates experience to get started!
We accomodate all levels. Pilates movement and mobility classes will help you learn and perfect the techniques you need.

Joseph Pilates has a famous quote: “In 10 sessions you will feel the difference, in 20 you will see the difference, and in 30 you’ll have a whole new body.” Commit to 30 sessions, which broken down, will be about three times a week over three months.
The precision in how you work is the number one difference in Pilates. When you attend an in-studio or at-home class, I do not want you to just run through the motions creating the picture of the exercise, in order to move from your deep stabilizing muscles first thus supporting the bones and joints correctly, creating new muscular patterns, not just relying on your existing patterns. Precision is key in assisting in making these connections within the body.
