Pilates & Pregnancy
Pilates is a gentle low impact form of exercise and as such it is considered one of the best forms of exercise for a pregnant woman, but you should check with your GP first. Pilates will not place strain on the joints or back. In fact the back will be strengthened as will the stomach and muscles around the pelvic area – allowing for an easier pregnancy, delivery and recovery.
The improvement in muscle tone and circulation gained through practising Pilates will also be of value during labour. An improved circulation allows an increased oxygen supply to the womb and this is less distressing for the baby. And of course the breathing techniques used in Pilates can help with the control of breathing during childbirth.
Cancellation policy:
24hrs group sessions; 48hrs Private/Duos.
