Pilates has helped completely transform my body postpartum. Here are a few essentials for me for the studio or my own flow at home
A sturdy yoga block can be used in so many ways! This one is also a great size

In reality, you could use any weight you would like. 3 pounds is the most common I’ve experienced in Pilates. And you will be surprised on how much 3 pounds can make you shake!

Adding 1 pound to each ankle truly goes a long way! That little extra push 👌🏼 Also great for walking!

I use this exact waist trainer for each home workout. It truly makes you sweat more, which makes you feel so good. It’s comfortable and moves well during exercises.

This mat has good thickness for comfort and a good grip!

A little bit thinner of a mat but still has good grip!

Personally, I find the fabric resistance loop bands to be much more comfortable to use. They also don’t roll up like the rubber ones do. Different resistance options is a bonus!

I like that this set comes with a poster of exercises guidance! I have a very similar set that I use all the time!
PAETA Pilates Ring Set – 14” Magic Circle (38 lbs Resistance), 9.8” Pilates Ball, 5 Resistance Bands, and Exercise Guide
The dreaded ring 😫 but it’s so so good

Of course you need a cute water bottle 😉 I LOVE my Brumate

I prefer barefoot and the studio I got to does it that way, but these are cute if needed!
Yoga Knit Socks - 4-10 - All In Motion™
I love this sports bra. It’s a little longer so it’s comfortable to wear as a top during a Pilates class. It has decent support and structure.

Another weight option that seems less bulky.
