Prenatal modifications offered in Los Angeles
Los Angeles has a small group of studios that offer modifications for people who are pregnant or recently gave birth. Most of the classes are in the evening, and nearly all of them include breathwork. Many of the practices here are built around pelvic floor work, balance and gentle flexibility, so the movement stays slow and supported. The classes come from studios in Fairfax and Ocean Park.

When the classes run
Prenatal and postnatal classes here are mostly in the evening, with a smaller number at midday and on weekends. Start times run from 12:30pm to 7:15pm, and 6:30pm and 7:15pm are among the most common. Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday are the busiest days, so those are the evenings to check first.
Classes are typically about an hour long, which gives enough time to warm up, work through the movement and rest at the end.
Studios and the kinds of classes
Ghazal Pilates in Fairfax offers a prenatal and postnatal reformer Pilates class, described as low-impact and designed to keep expecting and new mothers active and supported. Satorii Yoga + Wellness in Ocean Park offers a slower class that combines yin and intuitive movement, aimed at easing tension and increasing flexibility.
Many other classes on this page sit in between, with a focus on balance, back, hips and core and pelvic floor work. Some are restorative or restore classes built for rest and sleep.
Choosing a first class
Nearly all of the classes include breathwork, and about half are labeled as first class ever, so they are a reasonable place to begin. Gentle, restore and restorative classes tend to suit someone new to practice or still getting used to how their body moves in pregnancy.
If you have already practiced reformer Pilates or yin, you can look for those styles instead. The descriptions note whether a class is for prenatal, postnatal or both, which helps with choosing.
