The online pregnancy Pilates programme you’ve been looking for

Safe online Pilates workouts to keep you strong and confident during pregnancy.

What is The Pregnancy Programme?

  • TPP includes three pregnancy-safe workouts from week 5 to 40 of your pregnancy (counting from your LMP). Each workout is approx 30 minutes long and designed for the specific trimester you are in. Why? Because what is safe in one trimester is not necessarily safe in another.

    Trimesters One and Two include two Pilates workouts a week and 1 strength workout.

    Trimester Three includes one Pilates workout, one strength workout and one relaxation/birth preparation class.

  • We have worked with Dr Daniel Stott, Consultant Obstetrician at University College London Hospital, to prioritise the safety of you and your baby in our classes.

  • TPP is a fully online programme that can be done from your own home and in your own time.

  • Modifications and levels are offered in all classes to cater to differing abilities.

What are the benefits of Pilates during pregnancy

  • Exercise in pregnancy can constipation, swelling, pain in the lower back pain and in the pelvic girdle pain.

  • Exercise during pregnancy can help control weight gain and improve posture. It also triggers the release of endorphins which increase your mood, confidence and self esteem.

  • Pregnancy is an enormous physical and mental transformation. It can mean giving up the things you love, but that does not have to include your workout routine. In fact, exercise contributes significantly to the wellbeing of mum and baby. Exercise in pregnancy has been shown to decrease the risk of fetal obesity, gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, C-section and urinary incontinence.  

  • The muscle strength and breathing techniques acquired through exercise will help you prepare for labour and delivery, as well as speed up your recovery from birth.

Meet your Pilates teacher

Emma Henderson is the founder and owner of Breathe Studio, a boutique Pilates studio in London, where she teaches Pilates to pre-natal and post-natal women.

In speaking to her pregnant clients, Emma discovered that there was a real lack of information for pregnant women about how they could continue to exercise safely. This lack of information led to woman feeling hesitant to continue exercise during pregnancy.

In 2025, whilst in the early stages of her first pregnancy, Emma created The Pregnancy Programme to empower women to continue to workout safely and confidently during their pregnancy.

Emma is a certified Pilates and Yoga teacher. She also has degrees in Neuroscience and Law, and worked as a healthcare lawyer prior to starting her Pilates studio.
