Our Pregnancy Pilates classes are a fun and effective way to stay fit and active during pregnancy. Specifically designed with the pregnant body in mind, our classes cater to complete beginners from 10 weeks gestation, all the way until birth. Staying fit and active during pregnancy is one of the best things you can do to increase your chances of having a shorter, less painful labour, and quicker recovery post birth. Did you know prenatal pilates is also a great way to combat pelvic and back pain!!
Classes are gentle and focus on strengthening and toning your core stabilising muscles, pelvic floor, upper and lower body, glutes and back muscles. Gentle stretches and mobility exercises are also included to combat many common aches and pains associated with the ongoing changes a pregnant woman’s body goes through with the growth of her baby.
Attending regular Pilates classes during pregnancy will enable you to build the mental and physical strength needed for labour. These classes will also teach you how to use your breath for support during labour and motherhood.
Having a planned C-section? Regular pilates classes will help you maintain your strength during pregnancy and aid in a quicker recovery post birth.
Our classes are structured into terms, however to achieve all the wonderful benefits it is recommended to continuing attending the classes for as long as you can. It is not uncommon to have mums coming to class at 40+ weeks!!
