Pilates can be taught safely after your first 12 weeks of pregnancy. In a small group, I focus on differing needs that women at different stages of pregnancy may have.

The focus now is to build enough strength around the hips, the area that takes most of the load as the baby is growing; but also enough flexibility to avoid the muscles in the buttocks and lower back becoming stiff and inflexible.

Pilates exercises modified for pregnant women can build strength in the upper body, the part of the body where often tension is building as the weight of the baby is growing and the abdominal muscles are stretching and are not working as effectively.

The exercises will help you with your altering posture and keep your body strong and supple.
