Pregnancy is a time of significant change for the body. Your body changes every week, and your exercise regime needs to adapt to meet those changes. Everyone’s journey through pregnancy is different and we aim to cater to those individual needs.
What is the focus of prenatal Pilates sessions?
The focus is on individuality and your own personal requirements. We work on maintaining physical fitness. We concentrate on core stability, strengthening arms and legs, and installing good breathing patterns by engaging our transverse abdominis (our deepest abdominal layer of muscle) correctly which will help your body sustain the weight of carrying a baby inside. Our prenatal classes are an excellent way to help your body cope with the changes you’re undergoing and prepare it for the challenges to come.
What can prenatal Pilates sessions do for me?
Mothers-to-be who regularly exercise can expect to experience shorter labours and reduced lower back and pelvic pain. Exercises also helps to balance mood changes and help maintain a healthy mind-body balance. We only perform exercises that are completely safe for mother and baby.
What can I expect from prenatal Pilates sessions?
A posture analysis will be carried out and your individual needs will be taken on board. Prenatal sessions are structured around the changing requirements of a developing pregnancy to provide an effective workout from the first trimester through to full term, all the while staying completely safe for mother and baby.
