Support clients through pregnancy and postpartum recovery with confidence using the STOTT PILATES® Reformer.

The first segment focuses on prenatal programming, emphasizing stability, controlled mobility, and strength, while integrating breath awareness, optimal alignment, and pelvic floor engagement. The second segment addresses the needs of post-natal clients, with an emphasis on core and pelvic floor reconnection, restoring alignment, and progressively rebuilding strength, endurance, and functional mobility.
