You Know You Should Be Helping These Women

You're a qualified Pilates instructor. You love what you do. But when a pregnant woman asks to join your class, or a new mum books in... something shifts.
You feel that flutter of uncertainty:

  • Am I insured for this?
  • What is she asks about diastasis or pelvic floor issues
  • should I modify this exercise, or is it fine?

You care deeply about doing right by your clients. But your current qualification didn't prepare you for the realities of teaching pregnant and postnatal bodies.

You're not alone. And you're right to want more.

The Gap Between Qualified and Confident

Most pre and postnatal fitness courses lump everyone together — yoga teachers, PTs, fitness instructors, and Pilates teachers all learning the same generic content.

But Pilates is different.

Precision matters. Breath matters. The subtlety of deep core connection matters.
You need training that speaks your language and understands your teaching environment — not another tick-box course that leaves you still Googling modifications at midnight.

This is the qualification that gets it.

What You'll Actually Gain

This Level 3 qualification gives you exactly what you need to work safely and confidently with pre and postnatal clients — without the overwhelm or waffle.

Prenatal Programming
Learn how the body changes through each trimester — from cardiovascular and postural shifts to hormonal and emotional factors — and how to adapt Pilates movements safely and effectively.
You'll explore the benefits of prenatal exercise, contraindications, breathwork and core stability, and how to plan sessions that support both physical and mental wellbeing.

Postnatal Recovery
Understand what happens after birth — from pelvic floor and abdominal wall recovery to posture, strength and emotional health.
You'll discover how to rebuild stability, restore breath connection and progress clients confidently through each stage of recovery.

Real-World Application
This isn't just theory. You'll complete case studies, plan actual sessions, and practice adapting your teaching for real scenarios — so you walk away ready to teach, not just certified.
