Can I do Pilates while I am pregnant?

Many women find Pilates to be an excellent form of exercise before, during and after their pregnancy.  Pilates builds core strength which means you are focusing on your back, hips, shoulders and abdominals - all areas that are stressed quite a bit during pregnancy.  Strong back and abs mean better support for mom as her belly gets larger and heavier.

After the baby is born, Pilates is excellent to help get the body back into shape and return the abs to their pre-pregnancy shape and strength.
Another reason Pilates is so wonderful during pregnancy is that is easy to modify the exercises depending on your ability. Our certified Prenatal/Postnatal Pilates instructor Laura Adams will always give you modifications for exercises to fit your needs and ability.
