Prenatal Mat Classes
At Arc Pilates we help support your body through pregnancy and empower you to have a positive birth experience.
These classes will focus on pelvic stability and pelvic floor awareness, crucial for a pain free pregnancy and post natal period.
Upper body strengthening and releasing of shoulder tension will add support to your body.
Breathing to develop an awareness of the power of breath during labour and its role in deep relaxation.
We also share clients birth stories at the end of our classes to help in taking away the fear of the unknown.

Our Teachers
Alicia Moran
Alicia is committed to supporting women throughout their pregnancy, birth and beyond. She started teaching the prenatal course at Arc after having 2 children and realising what got her through was a great support team. She feels offering prenatal classes was a way she could combine teaching pilates with techniques for coping during labour as well as sharing birth stories. Women need a space, outside of the health system for them to process this life changing event and feel supported to make their own choices going into childbirth.
She has two lovely children born in 2010 and 2013.
Jasmine Scibilia
After over 10 years of practising Pilates, Jasmine completed her Matwork Instruction at National Pilates Training in 2018. She attended the prenatal course at Arc Pilates as a newly trained mat teacher. Alicia could see she had a passion to teach prenatal women and help encourage them in their journey to motherhood and joined the Arc team in 2019.
She has a beautiful boy born in 2018.
