Second Trimester Pilates Considerations - Pilates Pregnancy Modifications & More

Here are some things to consider when doing Pilates in your second trimester of pregnancy. I'll cover what exercises to modify and what postural changes to look for. Every pregnancy is different, so there isn't one magical week when everyone should start modifying an exercise - it's really about pressure management and what you personally can control. That's why it's so helpful to know what to look for and what to feel for!
In this video we cover:

I'm so excited to share prenatal Pilates workouts with you all throughout my pregnancy! In addition to being a STOTT trained Pilates Instructor, I am a Pregnancy & Postpartum Corrective Exercise Specialist (certified through CES). So you're in good hands! That being said, I'm not there in the room with you to form-correct and give individual guidance. You should always consult with your doctor before partaking in a new form of movement. If anything doesn't feel right with your body or causes pain, stop. Every pregnancy is different, and your doctor's advice trumps any guidance I provide in these prenatal Pilates videos.
