Mastering Movements
We've put together these videos to help you feel prepared to move confidently and safely during your pregnancy. If you are familiar with KX classes, please feel free to modify as it suits you. If you're newer to our classes, or ever feel unsure, your Trainer is there to work with you.
At KX Pilates, our focus is on movement to help you maintain fitness, strength and mobility. Our Trainers are fitness professionals, who can support you to move safely throughout pregnancy and during the postnatal period.
