Feel Strong, centred, and calm

Nurturing Strength Together

My Pregnancy and Postnatal classes support you through pregnancy and beyond with gentle, effective Pilates. Your body is doing something amazing both during pregnancy and as it supports you and your baby after the birth. Pilates gives you the strength to match it.

Pregnancy Pilates

These weekly group pregnancy sessions allow you to continue to practice your Pilates as part of a supportive group, tailored towards supporting your body as it changes through the trimesters.

We will focus on maintaining your fitness levels during this period, keeping the abdominal wall strong whilst mobilizing and easing out the joints and muscles. Investing some time for your health and wellbeing around other mums to be.

Support your body safely through pregnancy with expert guidance. If you have an injury or health consideration please contact me in advance of joining so we can discuss how you can be supported in the space.

I did both pregnancy and postnatal Pilates with Sylvia and both were excellent. She helped me feel strong during my pregnancy, and the safe movement she guided me with kept many of the usual aches and pains at bay.
Postnately her classes were welcoming, incredibly informed, and integral to my recovery. I attended her classes after my second baby and felt stronger and recovered quicker than after my first thanks to her brilliant instruction. She's genuinely brilliant.

She is truly a wonderful person. From the very beginning, she makes you feel completely comfortable and supported, and she’s incredibly encouraging throughout every class. Her kindness and positive energy create such a welcoming atmosphere, especially during such a delicate postpartum period.
One of the best parts is that you can bring your baby with you, which makes attending classes so much easier from the start. I began when I was just 6 weeks postpartum, and I always felt safe, guided, and understood.
The classes have also had a very positive impact on my chronic back pain. I’ve noticed a real improvement in both strength and stability. I highly recommend her to any new mom looking for a supportive and professional postnatal Pilates experience.
