"I tried reformer pilates for the first time after the birth of our daughter. Gestation, labour and a cesarian section left me wondering if I would ever be the same. Every session with Katie left me feeling stronger and more positive, learning about muscle groups and how to target areas that needed it most. Rather than punishing the body that had served me and my bub so well, I was nurturing it back to its former self. Previously a high intensity trainer, Encore Pilates has totally changed the way I look at exercise."Claire VanRensburg
Looking for a group exercise class to keep you moving while supporting your changing body? Our group class options include reformer and barre.

We will teach you how to change the springs to challenge you at an appropriate level and we can modify exercises along the way as your body changes. The beauty of this class is that you continue to join in with our regular timetable and the class sizes are small enough for us to assist you whenever you need. We know that theres nothing worse than being put in the corner just because you are pregnant. Our class aims to empower you and keep you moving at your own level every session.
A group class with up to 10 people. Working against your own body weight, we love this class for pregnancy because it will keep your lower limbs strong in preparation for birthing your baby and the months following. Pregnancy demands lower limb strength to keep you comfortable while your body changes and baby grows. Barre basics consists of stand up exercises using the ballet barre to help you balance and is choreographed to music to keep you moving in time. Barre basics get a bottoms up for our pregnant women!
"A few of my friends experienced ongoing issues with their pelvic floor following pregnancy. So for my first pregnancy, I took their advice and started taking semi-private classes at Encore weekly from around 9 weeks through to the end of my pregnancy. I am 38 years old and had an incredibly smooth pregnancy and was able to remain very active up to the end. Since I had my baby via caesarean I have had no problems with my pelvic floor and made a quick recovery."Alex Edmonson

Your body has to adapt so quickly during pregnancy and those changes don't always come easy. Ligaments stretch, bones move and your body grows. Pilates a gentle, thoughtful and holistic approach to keeping your deep muscles doing their job to support your pregnant body. Pilates works from the inside out so you will feel more supported and stable, easing tension and relieving pain.
Sometimes we get so focussed on our growing baby that we forget to take some moments to look after ourselves. It's how nature prepares us to give unconditionally. But you can't give from a cup thats empty so Pilates is a wonderful way to give back to yourself. New mums need to be strong, supple and supported to recover from birth and do all those tasks associated with being a mum. Look after your body and your body will look after you.
