The unilateral work is great! Fun, athletic class. I particularly enjoyed the box pushes straddling the carriage

Thank you, Courtney! Unilateral is an amazing way to practice and teach. I love the way you build each exercise making them so much more accessible for multiple levels. Adding this one to my very long list of my favorite Courtney classes!

What would you have a pregnant woman do instead of being on their belly?

Hi Kim N - Natalia from the Pilates Anytime team here!

It is perfectly acceptable to skip this section of the movement entirely and move forward to the next section of the class. Especially during pregnancy, safety should always hold priority over performing every single exercise in a class.

However, if the pregnant person is able to get on and off of the reformer safely and with ease, I would recommend the following alternative:

1. Stand on the floor with feet parallel and knees softly bent
2. Fold the upper body at the hips, with the spine now leaning forward at a 45 degree angle
3. With a pair of light dumb bells (or without) perform the same arm movement as the exercises demonstrated in the video, focusing on pulling the abdominals in, sliding the shoulder blades down the spine, and activating the movement through the muscles in the back. 

I hope this alternative is helpful to provide a similar back, arm, and core activation that the original exercises provide.
