Pregnancy Pilates in London: private sessions at KARVE
During pregnancy, a private session gives you an instructor to yourself: one-to-one on the Transformer with an instructor trained in pre- and post-natal Pilates, at Kensington, Chelsea or Victoria. The session is set to you — pace, resistance and the options for each movement — on the day.
Why a private session rather than the class
You can attend the group class during pregnancy — consult your doctor first and tell the instructor before class, as our FAQs say. The class is a fixed format coached to a full room, though. A private session is the same machine with one instructor whose attention is only on you: each movement is chosen for you, the resistance is set for you, and the session moves at your pace. Sessions take place in a dedicated private room or during selected quieter studio hours.
Who takes the session
KARVE has instructors trained in pre- and post-natal Pilates. Danni Grennan is the one we recommend for pregnancy sessions — ask for her when you enquire and the studio confirms her availability and which studio she can see you at.
Before you book
Consult your doctor or midwife before starting or continuing exercise during pregnancy, and tell the studio how many weeks you are when you enquire so the instructor can plan the session. Tell her about anything you would like her to know on the day too; the session changes to suit you, not the other way round.
How to book and what it costs
Enquire first — the form below or the studio’s WhatsApp — so the team can confirm the instructor and a time. Then buy a single Private Session or a block on private-sessions/buy; prices are live on this page and the same at every London studio. The session is an appointment arranged with the studio, not a booking on the class schedule.
After the baby arrives, the post-natal page covers the same private format for coming back.

Frequently asked questions
Can I do Pilates at KARVE while pregnant?
Yes. Consult your doctor first and tell the instructor before any class. For an instructor to yourself, book a private session: one to one with an instructor trained in pre- and post-natal Pilates, at Kensington, Chelsea or Victoria. Tell the studio how many weeks you are when you enquire.
Who teaches the pregnancy sessions?
Danni Grennan is the instructor we recommend; ask for her when you enquire. The studio confirms her availability and the studio she can see you at.
Do I need Pilates experience to book a pregnancy session?
No. The session is set to you on the day, from the first movement, and the instructor sets up the Transformer and demonstrates everything. Grip socks are required and available in studio.
How do I book, and what does it cost?
Enquire through the form on this page or the studio’s WhatsApp so the team can confirm the instructor and a time, then buy a single session or a block on the private-sessions buy page. Prices are shown live on this page.
