Pregnancy Pilates

The body undergoes incredible physical, emotional and hormonal changes during pregnancy. Maintaining your body’s tone and condition is critical to the challenging changes a pregnant woman’s body goes through. However pregnancy is not the time to try and get super fit – your priority is purely maintenance of a fitness level that is not only safer but also an advantage for the mother and child.

Many women find Pilates one of the best forms of exercise to do both during and after pregnancy. Our pregnancy Pilates program is a safe, well – thought out exercise program that will prepare your body and mind for an easier birthing process as well as a rapid recovery time.

Some of the benefits of a specific pregnancy Pilates class:

• Helping to assist your pregnancy being pain free and comfortable.

• Prepare you for labour

• Pilates is more likely to influence the circulation to the fetus in a positive way.
