Pregnancy is an exciting experience and throughout it your body will change in various ways to accommodate your growing bundle. Most bodies are very good at adapting and others need a little helping hand, but all bodies can benefit from keeping their deeper core muscles strong, posture and alignment good and their body awareness heightened.

This is where Pilates can come in as it is a gentle yet effective exercise form,  that uses flowing, low intensity movements based on the mat or in standing positions. Pilates during Pregnancy can be practised with me any time from 12 weeks up until the due-date. It has many benefits:

  • Keeps Mum calm and in a positive state of mind

  • Promotes improvement in posture and body awareness

  • Improves core stability and maintains abdominal function

  • Prepares the body for demands of increased weight bearing and circulation.

  • Helps prevent back pain and other problems caused by weakness, joint instability and weight gain

  • Gets you fit for labour and delivery

  • Strengthens relevant muscles for birthing positions (all 4 kneeling, squatting etc.)

  • Improves relaxation skills for comfort during labour and pregnancy

  • Improves awareness of breath control and Pelvic floor control

  • Prepares pelvic floor for extra weight and demands

  • Lays foundations for you to regain your pre-pregnancy body after child-birth

*12 weeks pregnant onwards.
