Strength in Pilates: Reformer Pre/Post Natal Training Workshop
A focused 4-hour, in-person CPD workshop (EMD UK accredited) that gives Reformer Pilates instructors the practical skills, evidence-informed knowledge, and coaching confidence to safely programme for pregnancy and the postnatal period—within mixed-level and dedicated Reformer classes.
Course Overview
- Understand trimester-specific and postnatal physiological changes and their implications for Reformer work.
- Screen effectively (PAR-Q & red flags), adapt intake questions, and know when to refer.
- Apply clear contraindications/precautions and create safe regressions/progressions
- Programme core, breath, and pelvic-floor–integrated sequences that feel inclusive and strong.
- Modify common Reformer exercises (footwork, hip work, lunge series, long box, mermaid, planks, loading patterns).
- Coach cueing for pressure management (intra-abdominal pressure), diastasis considerations, and pelvic-girdle/symphysis pubis pain.
