Pilates for Pregnant and Postpartum Women

Injury Recovery and Pain Relief

Customized sessions for rehabilitation after injuries, surgeries, or chronic pain in the back, shoulders, knees, and more. Emphasis on safe, gradual, and precise movement.

Pilates for Wellness

Beyond strengthening or rehabilitation – Pilates is a powerful tool for supporting overall health and daily balance. The practice combines mindful movement, breathing, precision, and awareness – promoting vitality, better sleep, reduced stress, a stronger nervous system, and a deeper connection between body and mind.

Pilates for Menopause

The practice is specially designed for women during and after menopause – a time of hormonal changes, shifts in muscle mass, bone density, and overall body balance. The workouts strengthen core and postural muscles, improve flexibility, support the musculoskeletal system, promote better sleep, and help manage symptoms such as fatigue, back pain, and restlessness.

Reformer Pilates

The Reformer is the primary and most important Pilates apparatus. It consists of a moving carriage that slides along rails within a frame, using adjustable springs for resistance. Its unique design allows for hundreds of exercises that strengthen and lengthen the muscles, performed in lying, sitting, or standing positions, with the addition of hand or foot straps and various accessories such as a box, jump board, balls, weights, and more.

Springboard Pilates

The Springboard is a Pilates apparatus invented by Ellie Herman (USA). It consists of a wooden board attached to the wall with springs, straps, and ropes of varying resistance levels, allowing exercises in different positions – lying, sitting, or standing against the wall. Like all Pilates practice, working with the Springboard requires focus, core engagement, and activation of the body’s center. The workout is based on the exercise repertoire of the Cadillac, originally developed by Joseph Pilates.

Private Pilates

Private Pilates sessions at our studio are fully customized to each client’s needs. Conducted in a private room, the instructor uses the Reformer, Tower (stationary Pilates apparatus), Springboard, or mat with supporting equipment – depending on the client’s goals and preferences. These one-on-one sessions emphasize proper posture, muscle strengthening and lengthening, and relief from pain (back, neck, knees, etc.). They are ideal for clients with specific conditions or for those who prefer a personalized pace over group classes.

Classic Mat Pilates

A mat Pilates class based on the fundamentals of the classical technique according to Joseph Pilates’ method. This class is ideal for clients who want to build strength, add variety to their routine, enhance their abilities, or deepen their precise Pilates practice. Suitable for anyone without acute medical conditions.
Mat Pilates Tel Aviv means Pilates City.

Prenatal Pilates

It’s very important to stay active during a healthy pregnancy, and we encourage you to start at any stage (with medical approval). We’ll tailor each class to your abilities, condition, and pregnancy week. The sessions take place in small groups with experienced instructors who follow the most up-to-date guidelines for pregnancy. These classes are a great opportunity to strengthen your body for childbirth, meet other expecting women in your neighborhood before maternity leave, and establish a routine that will help you return to regular workouts after giving birth.Joseph Pilates.
