When we become pregnant we might continue with our regular exercise routine, perhaps we may choose to adapt it or we may decide to slow down and try a new movement practice altogether. A pregnancy-specific exercise programme, such as Pregnancy Pilates, is designed with the different trimesters in mind and to support the changes that occur in your body rather than fight against them.

In the UK it is recommended that during pregnancy you try 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week and whether you’re already a regular at the gym or more content on the sofa, exercise priorities need to change when you’re pregnant. It can be hard to know where to begin and what’s OK and what’s not, so in this blog I’ll guide you through the benefits of Pilates during your pregnancy.
