Pilates during Pregnancy
I have a number of years experience teaching Pilates for pregnancy
and I am currently pregnant with my second baby. It is an excellent, very safe and gentle way to continue exercising at this
time.
Pilates during pregnancy focuses on Pelvic Floor muscles,
core strength and postural changes as well as keeping the whole body mobile and strong. It also good for relaxation.
Although I am not currently running any pregnancy specific
classes this is always subject to demand and may change at any time so please do contact me if you are interested. I do also
consider slotting pregnant ladies into my existing classes.
Pilates for Post-natal Recovery
Pilates is an excellent way to recover fitness from within hours of giving birth
as it focuses on finding and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles again which may have been weakened or damaged during delivery.
It also helps you recover your abdominal strength and helps to repair conditions such as separation of the rectus abdominal
muscles (diastasis recti).
Pilates is also very good to do if you have had a caesarean (I had a c-section
after my first baby and Pilates really helped me with recovery and re-building my strength and the experience has also given
me a much greater understanding of how to recover and what the body goes through in this situation).
