- If you are pregnant or postpartum, you are not able to participate in regular classic Pilates reformer classes by a teacher that is not trained in prenatal and postpartum exercise.
- WHY? A traditional Pilates reformer class involves many positions & exercises that are contraindicated for your condition. Among those are FLEXION exercises.
