Prenatal Yoga and Pilates

& Prenatal Reformer Pilates classes

Prenatal yoga classes & Prenatal Reformer Pilates classes help mobilize areas of the body that suffer from soreness due to pregnancy.

For moms and moms-to-be

The classes focus on physical maintenance and conditioning for the arrival of the unborn child. The aim of prenatal classes is to create movement in the body, work on breathing and mobility in areas of the body made rigid by pregnancy (for example, the hips). The emphasis is on hip-opening postures, back stretching and resting postures. Certain inversions, closed twists and postures that strongly mobilize the abdominal muscles should be avoided.

Prenatal yoga prepares you for all phases of pregnancy and childbirth. The body and mind are conditioned for the arrival of the child. Exercises are performed gently.

You can take part in the classes from the very first weeks right up to your delivery. Your doctor’s approval is highly recommended, and indispensable if you are less than 12 weeks pregnant.

Increase strength and flexibility

The posture sequences proposed are adapted for pregnant women. This class is ideal if you want to increase your strength and flexibility to better cope with the change in your body during and after pregnancy, without the presence of intensity.

Stress management and relaxation

Prenatal classes are beneficial practices for pregnant women, offering essential stress management and relaxation techniques during these periods of transition and change.

Tone muscles, especially the back

Prenatal yoga and prenatal reformer pilates will also help you strengthen your back to prevent long-term pain (especially when carrying your baby).

We offer prenatal classes dedicated exclusively to pregnant women. These classes focus on physical maintenance and conditioning for the arrival of your baby. You can attend these classes from the early weeks of pregnancy up until your delivery. It is highly recommended to get approval from your doctor, and it is essential if you are less than 12 weeks pregnant. 

If the schedule of prenatal classes does not fit your timetable and you wish to attend a class open to everyone, it is possible. However, please note that not all of our instructors are trained in the specific needs of pregnant women. In case of any issues, the responsibility will be yours. Additionally, the instructor may refuse you access to the class if they are not trained in prenatal Pilates.

If you wish to practice barre fitness, mat Pilates, or Essentrics, we recommend taking a private class. We will connect you with an instructor trained in prenatal care. You will then receive personalized attention tailored to your needs as a pregnant woman.
