Your body changes through pregnancy. The way you move needs to change with it.

Prenatal Pilates is adapted to where you are in your pregnancy, with modifications to support you safely through each stage.

Postnatal sessions help you rebuild strength and reconnect with a body that feels unfamiliar.

Join a group mat class with modifications to suit your stage of pregnancy, or choose a private 1:1 session if you’d prefer more individual support.

When you grip through the front of your hip in tabletop, what’s it revealing?

It feels tight. It feels uncomfortable. Your instinct is to stretch it out.

But that grip is information. It’s showing you where one part of your body is doing more than its share of the work.

That’s what we’re learning in Pilates.

Sometimes that sensation is telling you the movement needs to be modified, regressed or approached differently.

The springs on a reformer do much more than make an exercise harder or easier.

They can provide resistance or assistance, changing the demands of each movement to suit the purpose of the exercise.

It’s one of the reasons reformer Pilates is such a versatile way to move.

The springs on a reformer are more than just resistance.

They can provide resistance, assistance and feedback, changing the demands of a movement depending on what the exercise is designed to achieve.

That’s why more springs don’t automatically make an exercise easier or harder. The spring setting is chosen to support the goal of the exercise and the movement you’re trying to achieve.

It’s one of the reasons reformer Pilates is such a versatile way to move.

Mat and reformer Pilates are not the same thing.

They challenge your body in different ways.

The best choice depends on your goals and what you’re hoping to get out of your Pilates practice.

Both have value. Both are worth experiencing.

One of the things I enjoy most about teaching Pilates is noticing the changes people don’t always notice themselves.

The cue that suddenly doesn’t need repeating.

The movement that becomes easier.

The adjustment that isn’t needed anymore.

Most progress happens quietly.

Then one day you realise something that once felt difficult doesn’t feel quite so difficult anymore.

Private sessions exist because a group class isn’t always the right fit.

Sometimes you need more space.

To ask questions. To slow things down. To work with what your body needs on that particular day.

If you’ve been curious about private reformer sessions but weren’t quite sure what happens in one, hopefully this helps.
