A short blog about Prenatal and Postnatal Pilates

Prenatal Pilates has become very popular, and so it should, as few movement systems are better placed to allow for the postural adaptations of the mother-to-be over the course of the trimesters.

And with those changes in mind, in the interest of safe programming it is my opinion that Prenatal Pilates should be a dedicated class in its own right, where your instructor should be well versed in the developments/changes that occur over the nine-month time span in order to adapt/modify all movements to accommodate baby development and the mother’s postural changes.

Postnatal Pilates
Following birth, Postnatal Pilates can assist with both posture and figure changes.
Postnatal Pilates is a gentle three-month process of training that allows for hormonal and body changes. So, it is important to work closely with a professional Pilates instructor who can adapt/modify all movement to accommodate the mother’s changing shape.
