At MB Studio Pilates, we know that pregnancy is a period of intense transformation, marked by moments of joy but also by new physical and emotional challenges. That’s why we are committed to offering **adapted Prenatal Pilates sessions**, allowing every expectant mother to experience her pregnancy in a more peaceful, active, and conscious way.
Why choose Prenatal Pilates?
The Pilates method, known for its effectiveness and gentleness, offers pregnant women a multitude of benefits throughout their pregnancy. Firstly, Prenatal Pilates strengthens the body’s **”center”**—primarily the deep abdominal muscles, the pelvic floor, and the back muscles. This targeted work protects the spine, supports the belly as it grows each week, and thus reduces the appearance of lower back pain or postural imbalances frequent during this period. We place great importance on **breathing**. Beyond muscle strengthening, every Prenatal Pilates session includes deep breathing exercises to relax the entire body, improve the baby’s oxygenation, and prepare for the effort of childbirth. Our instructors are trained to guide you through safe and personalized techniques.
Tailor-Made Support for Every Pregnancy
We know that every pregnancy is unique. At MB Studio Pilates, each of our prenatal classes begins with a discussion to understand your needs, your fitness level, and any discomforts or existing conditions. Our goal? To ensure you benefit from **adapted, safe, and progressive sessions**, regardless of your trimester or your Pilates experience. Our Prenatal Pilates sessions prioritize gentle movements focused on stretching, pelvic mobility, and back alignment, while maintaining overall muscle tone. We also incorporate specific exercises to strengthen joint stability, improve blood circulation, and reduce the feeling of heavy legs.
Immediate and Lasting Benefits of Prenatal Pilates
Regularly practicing Prenatal Pilates in our studio offers you the opportunity to:
- Better manage the bodily changes related to pregnancy
- Reduce discomforts such as back pain, fatigue, or stress
- Actively prepare the body for childbirth, notably through perineum awareness and breathing practice
- Promote faster and more comfortable postpartum recovery
More than just physical benefits, Prenatal Pilates also offers a space for **relaxation and exchange**. Our sessions are privileged moments where every expectant mother takes care of herself, refocuses, and shares her feelings with other women going through the same experience.
Safety, Attentive Listening, and Progression: Our Commitments
At MB Studio Pilates, **safety is our priority**. We adapt every exercise to comply with medical recommendations and ensure everyone’s comfort. We take care to avoid contraindicated postures or movements and remain attentive to your sensations throughout the session. Thanks to our small groups and individual coaching, you benefit from attentive monitoring every time. Whether you are discovering Pilates or are already a devotee, we help you adjust your practice according to the evolution of your pregnancy.
Post-Pregnancy: A Natural Continuation
We also offer **Postnatal Pilates sessions**, allowing you to gradually regain strength, tone, and self-confidence after childbirth. Postnatal Pilates promotes recovery, strengthening of the perineum, and the reduction of postural pains related to the baby’s arrival.
