  • Pregnancy Pilates #34 | 33 minute flowy class

    I always enjoy a class where we move around the mat, and this does just that! We start lying on our backs, if you're not comfortable in this position maybe choose another class for today.

    We have a nice shoulder bridge flow to work on articulation, then we have a lovely side book opening stretc...

  • Pregnancy Pilates #33 | 32 minute full-body strength

    This is a full-body class, where we focus on building strength. We do have some balance work in the class, so maybe have something nearby if you would like it for support.

  • Pregnancy Pilates #32 | 30 minute flow

    This is a full body class, where we work our way up from seated to standing. We've got some inner-thigh focused side lying (maybe have a blanket nearby in case you want to prop it under your hips to make it feel comfier). We then flow to triceps and quads in kneeling, followed by a short (but spi...

  • Pregnancy Pilates #31 | 30 minute glute strengthening flow

    A satisfying 30 minute class for when you want a lower body focused flow. We start steady with side lying glutes, enjoying a lovely mermaid stretch before a triceps and abs challenge, we finish together in standing with some squats to lunges to really fire up the glutes to finish the class feelin...

  • Pregnancy Pilates #30 | 25 minute flow

    This is a nice flowy class, we have a shoulder bridge and ab sequence on our backs, so make sure you feel comfortable in this position before doing the class (I'm really enjoying being here at the moment!)

    This is a glute-focused class which combines strength work with stretches to hopefully leave you feeling empowered in your body.

  • Pregnancy Pilates #28 | Short stretchy sequence

    This is a short flowy class, for when you want a bit of a stretch. We start on our backs (so only do this class if you feel comfortable lying) with hip and spine openers, we then move into a nice mermaid and hip stretch before finishing in seated. This felt just what I needed when I wasn't feelin...

  • Pregnancy Pilates #27 | Lower body focused 30 minute class

    This class is suitable for your first trimester, we start lying down on our backs, so only do this class if you feel comfortable in this position - I feel really comfortable on my back so wanted to include some sequences with this as an option in case you feel the same.

    This class has lots of s...

  • Pregnancy Pilates #26 | Strong 37 minute class

    A longer sequence where we move our whole body - whilst tuning into our mind-body connection. This is a more challenging flow, with planks, seated abs and arms and lunges with a balance (make sure that you've got something nearby in case you need it for support). I found this a really energising ...

  • Pregnancy Pilates #25 | Flowy 27 minute flow

    A flowy class which starts on the mat and finishes in standing. After warming up in seated we start the more strength-based work in quadrupled, where we target whole body coordination. We finish with squats where we engage all of our muscles from our calves to our fingers with reaches.

    As alway...

    This is a full-body 30 minute class, suitable for the first trimester.
