Prenatal Pilates: The Ally for Pregnant Women During and After Pregnancy
During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes many changes. The center of gravity shifts, and the body undergoes significant physiological changes. To smoothly support these adjustments, appropriate physical activity is essential.
The Prenatal Pilates method is particularly recommended for pregnant women. It allows you to safely tone your body while preparing for childbirth.
Why Choose Prenatal Pilates During Pregnancy?
The prenatal Pilates method, specially designed for pregnant women, helps maintain proper posture and strengthen key areas such as the abdominals, pelvis, and pelvic floor.
Here are some of the main benefits of prenatal Pilates during pregnancy:
Safe muscle toning: The exercises target the abdominal, back, gluteal, and leg muscles, supporting bodily changes while avoiding pregnancy-related discomfort.
Preparation for childbirth: By strengthening the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, prenatal Pilates prepares the body for the demands of childbirth.
Stress management and improved sleep quality: Through specific breathing techniques, it reduces stress and enhances sleep, two crucial aspects during pregnancy.
Improved posture: Prenatal Pilates corrects postural imbalances, promotes chest opening, and reduces tension in the back and shoulders in pregnant women.
An Evolving Method Adapted to Each Trimester
At MB STUDIO PILATES, we understand that each stage of pregnancy brings specific needs. Our prenatal Pilates classes for pregnant women evolve over the months to adapt to the changing demands of the body.

Benefits of Postnatal Pilates
The work doesn’t stop after childbirth. Postnatal Pilates helps restore muscle tone and reestablish body balance after the baby’s birth.
Our postnatal classes focus on:
Pelvic floor and abdominal strengthening: These exercises are essential for proper recovery after childbirth.
Spinal mobility: We help you improve the flexibility of your back, often challenged by pregnancy and carrying your baby.
Improved blood circulation: Specific movements stimulate blood flow, promoting better recovery.
Pelvic realignment and tension release: We work on balancing the pelvis and releasing tension in the shoulders and rib cage.
Practical daily advice: Our instructors support you with tips on everyday movements to avoid pain and discomfort.
