Reformer & Equipment Pregnancy Pilates
You’ll find you will be truly blooming through each stage and feel in the mood to enjoy every moment of your pregnancy journey.
Pilates on the Reformer is an amazing way to keep yourself strong and flexible while preparing your body for the after baby life. This is a safe practice involving a slow pace set of modified pilates exercises, using not only the Reformer but a variety of other props including birthing balls, spine correctors (barrels) and bands just to name some. You’ll find you will be truly blooming through each stage and feel in the mood to enjoy every moment of your pregnancy journey.
The class is run by a fully certified Pregnancy Pilates Mat, Reformer & Equipment Instructor, but Raquel is also a Pregnancy Yoga teacher so she’ll be introducing some breathing and relaxation techniques from time to time to slow down those hormone peaks in preparation for the birthing experience.
