The benefits of prenatal and postnatal reformer Pilates
Pilates during pregnancy and after birth can help increase body awareness and strength in...
Stomach muscles
Core strength is so integral to a pregnancy. Abdominal strength is required when carrying a baby, and can assist in reducing the likelihood of common pregnancy related injuries such as abdominal separation (diastatis recti),Pilates can help develop a strong core, in turn improving posture.
Pelvic floor
The pelvic floor is one of the most important, but subtle and often most neglected body parts. Pilates makes sure to gently work the pelvic floor with pregnancy friendly exercises. Building awareness of and connecting your pelvic floor can make all the difference during your pregnancy and after birth.
Lower Back
Even before pregnancy, tight muscles and lower back issues are common among women spending the majority of their day seated. Carrying your baby to term, and post-partum can
worsen this, if not paired with low impact exercise to strengthen the back and its supporting muscles. Creating a strong and mobile back and spine can bring you more comfort at all stages of your pregnancy.
Legs
The largest muscle group of the body, we need strong legs to keep us standing, especially as you carry a baby in your belly. Building strength and muscle in our glutes, hamstrings and quads through pilates can make movement and day-to-day life easier during and after your pregnancy.
Mental Health
Take time out in your busy day to focus on yourself. For the duration of our one-hour classes, we make sure you can focus on yourself to create body awareness through your breathing and movement. As you work your entire body, you'll engage in endorphin pumping action that'll leave you calm and stress free at the end of the session.
Social Bonds/Sense of Community
Our prenatal and postnatal classes are the perfect opportunity to meet other local mums. Our clients say having a space to share your experience and learn new things from others that have gone through pregnancy and parenthood as mothers is a healing experience. Gain a sense of community, from a collective of strong women just like you!
