Pre- & Postnatal CLASSES IN BARNET
Prenatal Pilates
At Beyond Move, we run small group classes for our Pregnancy clients, which is designed with care for Pregnancy needs.
The movements and exercises are safe during this time. Prenatal Pilates works on your muscle connection, alignment and posture – as during pregnancy, the body goes through many changes, and it’s a great way to engage the right muscles and work on posture.

Postnatal Pilates
Postnatal Pilates is one of the safest and most effective ways to strengthen and realign after having a baby. Whether you’ve had a vaginal or cesarean delivery, a safe Pilates workout is developed to target particular muscle groups and problem areas that mothers face after pregnancy.
We recommend starting Postnatal Pilates once you have completed your 8-week postpartum GP or consultant check-up and it has been approved by a professional. For those who had a C-section, we suggest starting after 12 weeks postpartum.
INCLUSIVE
Beyond Move was created for people of all ages and genders without limitation. Our members range from 7 years old to 90 and everything in between. Seeing the incredible results our clients have achieved in overcoming injury and chronic pain makes us feel so proud and appreciated.
ALL LEVELS
Fall in love with movements and enjoy the endorphins and the many positive benefits Pilates, Yoga and Barre can offer. To find your level we colour coded our classes here is our guide to find your right level for you.
SMALL CLASSES
Ensures we can offer individual attention, so you’ll gain the most out of the sessions. Our class sizes are capped at 8 participants, with Barre classes limited to 7 and Rehab classes to a maximum of 6. Workshop and event sizes may vary.
DISABILITY FRIENDLY
We are strong on inclusion, and whenever it’s possible we modify exercises and ensuring comfort and safety. Everyone benefits from Pilates as movement is medicine and we understand discomfort/pain can be isolating. Exercising in small groups is a great antidote to help you move as you’d like to.

FOUNDER
I started the studio because I strongly believe movement and improved posture add to our sense of wellbeing. I’m on a mission to help everyone feel more confident about their movement.
I named the studio Beyond Move because we include everyone regardless of size, age, identity or ability – including people with congenital and acquired injuries.
I personally strive to enable and nurture a strong community. One less interested in how we look in the studio and more in how we can empower ourselves and others.
