FEEL WELL, HEAL WELL, RECLAIM YOUR SPACE
Bringing new life into the world is momentous. And whilst your new baby will undoubtedly require bundles of your time, attention and love, we recognise that you will also need the same (because most of us at Soul have been there too!)

That is why we have designed a range of specialist classes and workshops, to help you on your journey to and after motherhood. That makes your feel strong, energised and calmed. From Mama & Baby Reformer classes, specialist 1:1 sessions and Matwork classes - we have something to suit all needs at all stages.

DURING YOUR PREGNANCY
PRE NATAL GUIDE

As you move through the different stages of pregnancy it’s important that you continue moving safely. Pilates can help you retain muscle tone and gently build strength that will help relieve the pressure put on your posture, limit aches and pains and support your bump as it grows.

It can also strengthen your pelvic floor that will promote recovery after birth. As well as the physical perks, Pilates can act as a mental time-out, offering meditative benefits as you as you learn to concentrate on breathing and moving with mindful control.

YOUR STORIES

​"My classes have been glorious throughout my pregnancy. I arrived every week a knot of stress and was sent home soaring and relaxed. I definitely think it has contributed to me being able to continue cycling and walking into town at 40 weeks." Harriet, Bristol 

"I feel stronger, more confident in my body's ability and it obviously worked wonders for fertility as I've been able to share my pregnancy journey with you too!"  Zoe, Bristol
