Strong, Supported, and Safe: Why SOMOS is Nashville’s Choice for Pre + Postnatal Pilates

Pregnancy and postpartum are some of the most transformative times in a woman’s life — physically, mentally, and emotionally. At SOMOS Pilates Nashville, we believe every stage of motherhood deserves expert support, safe movement, and a community that truly understands your body’s needs.

Our team of highly trained instructors has worked with hundreds of Nashville moms-to-be and new mothers. Every instructor at SOMOS completes specialized pre + postnatal training, so you can feel confident knowing you’re being guided by professionals who are fully equipped to support you through pregnancy and beyond.

⚠️ Important Note: Pilates during pregnancy and postpartum is generally safe and beneficial, but it is not a substitute for medical care. Always consult your physician or healthcare provider before beginning any new exercise program. Every pregnancy is unique, and your doctor is the best resource for determining what is safe for you.

Why Pilates is Safe and Effective Pre + Postnatal

Pilates is one of the best movement systems for pregnancy and postpartum recovery because it focuses on:

  • Core + Pelvic Floor Strength – Gentle, progressive exercises that support your growing belly, prepare your body for labor, and help restore strength afterward.

  • Breathwork + Stability – Controlled breathing patterns improve stability, posture, and circulation while reducing discomfort.

  • Adaptability for Every Stage – From your first trimester to the weeks after birth, Pilates can be tailored to your unique needs.

  • Safe Recovery Postpartum – With your doctor’s clearance, Pilates helps retrain deep core muscles, rebuild strength, and reduce risk of injury.

Specialized Tools: Pilates Wedge for Comfort and Safety

At SOMOS, we go above and beyond to ensure comfort and safety. Every studio is equipped with a Pilates wedge, available to all clients. This tool allows expectant mothers to work at an incline, reducing pressure and making supine exercises (lying on your back) both safe and comfortable.

Individualized Guidance for Every Mom

Every pregnancy is different. That’s why our instructors — all trained in pre + postnatal Pilates — take the time to understand your body, your medical history, and your comfort level. Whether you’re just beginning your movement journey or returning postpartum, our team will provide clear modifications and progressions that meet your body where it is today.
