Pilates and Prenatal Care: Safe Movement for Every Trimester
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, but it also comes with its unique physical challenges. Pilates can be an incredible tool to help support your body safely through every trimester. At Forme Pilates, we offer modifications designed to honor changes in the prenatal and postpartum body.
Pilates helps strengthen your core and pelvic floor—key muscles that support your growing belly and prepare you for labor and postpartum recovery. It also promotes better posture, which can ease common pregnancy discomforts like lower back pain and pelvic pressure.
Breathwork and gentle stretching in Pilates classes support relaxation and circulation, helping you feel more grounded and connected to your body. Of course, safety is paramount—we always modify exercises to avoid lying flat after the first trimester or overextending joints softened by pregnancy hormones.
If you’re pregnant and want to stay active with mindful movement, prenatal Pilates is a smart, supportive choice.
