Antenatal & Postnatal Pilates

With 825 babies born each day throughout Australia it is no wonder why pregnant and postnatal women are attending our pilates classes more frequently.

With the popularity of pilates being at an all time high, now is the time for instructors to be safe, confident, and effective in teaching pregnant and postnatal clients. 

Unfortunately most foundational pilates training courses do not include teaching considerations for the pregnant and postnatal population, leaving a gap in the skills of many instructors.
