Did you know that your vagus nerve plays a crucial role in keeping your body relaxed and balanced? Studies show that movement and sweating can stimulate this nerve, promoting a state of calm and reducing stress. To take it a step further, adding cold exposure—like our signature cold eucalyptus towels after class—can activate the vagus nerve through mechanisms like the diving reflex, which is associated with a calming effect and improved recovery

At People’s Pilates, we’re not just about movement; we’re about whole-body wellness. Come experience the benefits of Pilates, from enhancing vagal tone to feeling rejuvenated after every session.

Join us on the mat or reformer to move, sweat, and cool down to enhance you mind-body connection! 🌿

✨ Top 3 Benefits of Pilates During Pregnancy! ✨

Pregnancy is a beautiful journey, and Pilates can make it even better! Based on research, here are the top benefits of incorporating Pilates into your prenatal routine:

1. Reduces Labor Pain: Studies show that Pilates can significantly lessen labor pain, making the childbirth experience more comfortable. Those who practiced Pilates during pregnancy experienced less pain intensity during labor compared to those who did not (Source: [BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth](https://www.bmcpregnancychildbirth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12884-021-03922-2), [SciELO]

2. Strengthens Pelvic Floor Muscles: Pilates effectively strengthens the pelvic floor, helping to prevent issues like urinary incontinence and organ prolapse. Strong pelvic floor muscles are crucial for managing the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth (Source: [MDPI](https://www.mdpi.com/1660-4601/18/4/2024)).

3. Improves Childbirth Outcomes: Practicing Pilates often leads to shorter labor durations and fewer interventions such as episiotomies. Additionally, participants report higher overall satisfaction with their childbirth experience, making the journey smoother and more enjoyable (Source: [BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth](https://www.bmcpregnancychildbirth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12884-021-03922-2), [SciELO]

At People’s Pilates, we have 2 wedges available in the Reformer room to ensure that you don’t lay flat on your back for too long during class. Please let your instructor know before class if you are pregnant. Always consult with your physician to ensure you can safely participate in Pilates.
