Why reformer pilates during pregnancy?

Your body changes constantly during pregnancy, which makes mindful, gentle and professionally guided movement especially important. The Zen Den prenatal reformer pilates class is built exactly around that: it supports, it relieves load, and it prepares you for this particular period.

Because the reformer is a stable construction, the exercises stay controlled and safe, which makes it a strong choice during pregnancy. The focus is on taking load off the spine, activating the core gently, and keeping the pelvic floor working well, all of which matter for pregnancy, birth and recovery afterwards.

During pregnancy, reformer pilates can help you:

• ease pain in the lower back, hips and back,
• improve posture and breathing,
• increase mobility,
• avoid overloading,
• prepare the body for birth,
• and keep moving lightly and without pain.

At Zen Den you find a calm, supportive setting where the instructors know exactly what your body needs in this period. Our aim is that you feel safe and well, and that the movement you get genuinely helps, now and after the birth.

Before you start, please ask your doctor, and tell the instructor before the class which week you are in.
