Pre & Post Natal

Pilates is a perfect form of exercise during and after your pregnancy – both for you and your growing baby. It supports you through postural changes and improves muscle tone, strength and mobility. You will work on posture and alignment, breathing techniques and relaxation as well as understanding and working with your pelvic floor.

Pilates exercises adapt to suit the changing needs of your body. During your pregnancy your body will undergo many changes. As your baby grows it can begin to place a stress on your spine especially your lower back. Pilates can help your body with these changes by building the strength you will need to support your skeleton and muscles.

Your balance is affected during pregnancy and can be improved through Pilates. It will also help you maintain good movement in everyday life which can contribute to a positive experience of pregnancy.

In the postnatal period Pilates can help you with your posture as well as helping you to gain a healthy body image and tone up. Pilates can be both harmonising and energising a perfect combination in helping you looking after yourself to look after your new family.
