Preggo Pilates

Preggo Pilates Pilates instruction and training for moms-to-be, and those with newborns too. What more could you want besides a good night’s sleep?

Preggo Pilates was born when founder Stephanie Forster gave birth to her son in 2005. Determined to physically empower women in all stages of Mamahood, she developed a program that mirrors the essential needs of the pregnant, laboring and postnatal woman. Stephanie teaches with a deep appreciation and understanding of what the pregnant and postnatal body is capable of - the Preggo Pilates program

focuses on strength, breath, flexibility, control, and hones a woman’s ability to let go. The result is a strengthened pelvic floor, a strong upper body, the ability to breathe deeply into a solid core that supports backs, babies, and posture while giving Mama an overall sense of well being.

Countdown to our 2026 Pilates in Provence retreat in October has begun! But we’ve still got a couple spots left, if you want to join us this year! All the photos and videos above were captured by last year’s attendees. 😍

What is Pilates in Provence? 🤔

This retreat is an all-inclusive stay in the beautiful, serene Monastère de Ségries the Haute-Provence region of France. 

Imagine days filled with Pilates, yoga, onsite Esalen massage with shayne hodgkin, fitness training led by Cara Hipskind, and community acupuncture by Dr. Nikki Cerone-Fancher, LAc. Additionally, you can book private acupuncture and nutrition coaching sessions. 

Not only will you be able to strengthen your Pilates practice with daily Pilates every morning, enjoy evening restorative Pilates, yin yoga and acupuncture/sound healing sessions, but you’ll also explore this part of Provence with outdoor excursions, including boating through the Verdon Gorge and visiting local Provençal markets. Plus, you can enjoy hiking, sitting by the pool onsite, or walking the grounds and feeling your nervous system reset, restore and rest.

And you’ll be able to connect with a community of incredible women from all different walks of life.

🔗 To learn all the details about this unforgettable week of adventures, restoration, and of course, Pilates, head to the link in our bio. 

✈️ We also have lots of great resources on finding the best prices for airfare and other trip needs, so please feel free to reach out to us with any travel questions!

I often get asked how someone might benefit from leaving their regular Pilates class once they get pregnant to try prenatal Pilates. Here’s my two cents: while a general class can still be a great workout during pregnancy, a Pilates class that’s designed for the pregnant body can make a major difference in how that body feels all week.

There’s also a major difference between a teacher adapting on the fly and a class that’s created specifically to support movement during pregnancy.

And it doesn’t just come down to the workout itself. Being in the pre and postnatal Pilates space for over 20 years has shown me again and again how deeply important community is during pregnancy, and after. The friendships formed in prenatal, the referrals to the right practitioners, the sense of being in a place that’s personalized to the needs of your body that day…it all adds up to make quite a difference. 💜

If you’re new to the Preggo Pilates community, we’d love to have you! Here are some of our intro specials:

▪️If you’re available in-person at our studio in San Francisco, your first class is $20, or you can purchase a 3-pack for $99.

▪️Outside the Bay Area, you can purchase a membership to our on-demand library, which comes with a 7-day free trial.
