I really want to try pre-natal pilates reformer classes and saw that the have them as well as post-natal mums and bubs classes. They don't have these classes on every day, though, so was wondering if their other classes are pregga-friendly too or if anyone goes anywhere else for reformer pilates? I tried InLife pilates, but they were pretty clueless with the pregnancy-alternative moves.

I have been doing reformer pilates pre-pregnancy and throughout my pregnancy till the last trimester. I was lucky enough to have the instructors who knows what to do with pregnancy during reformer pilates and I also doing the barre class together with it. I was doing it in Fernwood seven hills and world gym marsden park like (4-5days/week). For pregnancy, you got to buy a pregnancy wedges as you cant lie flat on the reformer bed once your tummy got bigger (forgot which months). For pregnancy, you cant do any movement with abs as it will cause diastasis recti… I love reformer pilates and barre.
I was off from it since week 36 and I went for a women physio for check up and found that I only have a 0.5cm gap for my abdomen 6weeks post-natal. And basically the gap will close when i get back to reformer. And im back to reformer pilates after 3months post c-section. I think KX pilates offer pre-natal classes. Check it out with them. All the best during your pregnancy!
