Pregnancy transforms the body, and the change goes on after birth. Pilates helps with both physical and emotional recovery.

What Pilates does for you now

  • It reduces diastasis recti by strengthening the core, above all the abdominal muscles.
  • It helps rehabilitate the pelvic floor — the muscles that control the bladder — and prevent urinary incontinence.
  • It brings back strength and flexibility and prevents injuries and posture problems.

A mother’s day is full of repetitive movements. The body is already tense from pregnancy and carrying the baby weighs on the spine — so building strength matters even more.

And there is the rest: Pilates is also a moment just for you, self-care at a time when you need attention too.
