I'M PREGNANT - IS PILATES SUITABLE FOR ME?
Congratulations! Pilates is amazing for the pre-natal & post-partum periods of life, and our instructors are trained in pre-natal Pilates, to ensure you receive professional guidance throughout your participation in our programs.
You are welcome to attend all class types with the exception of Reformer Jump as these classes include higher intensity cardiorespiratory exercise and some balancing movements which may not be suitable for pre-natal participants.
​
Please let us know in advance if you are new to reformer. A private appointment may be a suitable way to get you started.
​
At all sessions, please let your instructor know how far along you are in your pregnancy before the session commences, so that we may offer you any necessary modifications during the class program.
​
Please note that in a small percentage of pregnancies, physical activity may place the mother and/or baby at higher risk - if you are unsure it is best to consult your health care provider to obtain written consent to participate in Pilates.
​
Similarly, post-partum people are very welcome to attend our sessions (as are non-mobile babies). We offer a specialised program called Restore, which is held at our Thornton studio, 11am on Tuesdays. Please ensure you are at least 6 weeks post-partum and have had clearance from your health care provider before returning to Pilates. Pilates is an excellent form of movement to assist your body with recovery, gentle stretching and strengthening during the post-partum period.
CAN I BRING MY CHILD WITH ME TO CLASS?
We love babies and children, and we love to see parents participating in Pilates! In general, babies & children are welcome to come along to the studio.
​
However, our studio may not be suitable for inquisitive toddlers who like to climb / run / put their fingers on the reformer tracks... ouch! You are responsible for the safety of your child at all times in the studio.
So the answer is yes, babies & kids are welcome, but please be aware of safety and the comfort of other class participants.
Sometimes participants attend Pilates as a time out or me time from their own busy lives, and as such if your child is excessively disruptive you may be asked to re-schedule your session.
We want to keep everyone safe & enable you all to get the most enjoyment from your Pilates session!
