Our teachers fully understand this physical condition and will help you to participate in Collective Classes in a manner that is good for you and your baby’s health and well-being.

We do not accept newcomers to Pilates Collective Classes who are over 4 months pregnant. Why? Because your body is going through so many changes already, it is not advisable to join a Collective Class. However, if you would like to take Private Classes, we will be happy to accept you.
