A whole-body approach to strengthening and restoring your pelvic floor.
What Is Pilates – Rehab-Based and Core Stabilization Training?
Pilates is a full-body, spring-based resistance workout designed to build core stability and strength, improve body awareness and control, and restore muscular and postural balance — all while keeping movement engaging and enjoyable.
At Sarton Pelvic Healing, we don’t offer generic Pilates classes. Instead, we provide a highly specialized 1 on 1 Pelvic Floor Pilates program that you won’t find anywhere else. Our instructors collaborate directly with our pelvic floor physical therapists to create a research-based, individualized program that supports your unique needs.
For many patients, Pilates becomes an essential part of their healing journey.
The Sarton Pelvic Healing Pre-Natal Pilates Program is designed to carry you through the incredible journey of pregnancy — a time of remarkable physical and hormonal changes. As your body adapts, ligaments become more flexible, posture shifts, and your center of gravity moves forward. While the body naturally compensates for these changes, it doesn’t always do so in the healthiest way.
Our specialized program focuses on the unique needs of pregnancy, including:
Each pre- and post-natal Pilates session begins with a movement analysis, including assessment of breathing patterns and review of proper core muscle function. You’ll learn safe, effective exercises that help prevent or relieve many common pregnancy-related concerns such as:

Using research-based principles, this program focuses on restoring core and pelvic floor function, easing common postpartum discomforts, and rebuilding strength so you can move with confidence again.
Each session begins with a movement analysis, including an assessment of breathing patterns and review of proper core muscle function. You’ll learn safe, tailored exercises that not only strengthen but also protect your healing body, with special attention to conditions such as Diastasis Recti (DRA), pelvic organ prolapse, incontinence, and postpartum pain.
This program is appropriate for all levels — no previous Pilates experience is required.
Important: If you are less than 6 weeks postpartum (or 8 weeks after a Cesarean birth), you will first need to be evaluated by one of our pelvic floor physical therapists before beginning this program.

During a pelvic floor Pilates session, you’ll work one-on-one with your therapist using gentle, targeted movements designed to restore balance, strength, and flexibility. Exercises often include breathwork, core activation, posture training, and the use of equipment such as the Pilates reformer or small props. Each movement is customized to your body and your pelvic floor needs, ensuring a safe, supportive, and effective experience.
Sessions typically last 55 minutes, depending on your treatment plan. Many patients benefit from starting with 1-2 sessions per week, then tapering to a maintenance program as strength and confidence improve. Your therapist will guide you on the frequency that best supports your healing and long-term goals.
You can expect gentle muscle engagement, stretching, and a sense of improved alignment during and after your session. Most patients describe feeling both strengthened and relaxed at the end. Movements are carefully monitored to avoid strain or overexertion, making this approach safe for people in all stages of healing — including pregnancy, postpartum, and recovery from pelvic floor dysfunction. Your therapist will adjust exercises to your comfort level and progress, ensuring you always feel supported.
I never realized how much my posture, breathing, and core strength were affecting my pelvic floor until I started Pilates at Sarton Pelvic Healing. The sessions were gentle but so effective — I felt supported the whole time and could actually feel my body reconnecting in a way I hadn’t since before kids. My back pain has eased, I’m stronger, and I finally have confidence in my core again. I’m so grateful for this program — it’s truly life-changing
