Pilates during all phases of the pregnancy process can help clients strengthen their bodies while allowing the abdominals and pelvis to open and stretch in preparation for childbirth. Additionally, the studio can assist with postpartum recovery. These classes focus on engaging the abdominals and developing pelvic stability so that clients can find their new normal.
