How to Use This Directory

Check your trimester & comfort level: Always inform the studio you’re pregnant — many adjust their classes depending on trimester.
Talk to your healthcare provider first: Especially if you have complications or concerns.
Choose what your body needs: Some days you may need gentle yoga, others may call for a bit of core or pelvic-floor work.
Consistency over intensity: Gentle regular movement beats occasional intense workouts during pregnancy.
Balance movement with rest: Listen to your body — rest is just as important.
