 Antenatal Pilates is the best exercise for
both during and after your pregnancy.
If you have never practised Pilates before
we recommend you wait until you are 12 weeks
into your pregnancy before starting.
You can practise Pilates right the way up
until your birth and start again as soon
as you have had your 6-week check.
Antenatal classes concentrate on strengthening
the muscles used to support the baby while
growing and will help to relax tension that
builds in your back, shoulders and feet where
the weight of your baby causes the most strain.
The strengthening of abdominal and pelvic
floor muscles will help during labour and
in recovery afterward. Many clients
have reported really short labour and no
need for pain relief during the birth.

 Pilates is ideal for helping your body return
to normal after pregnancy.
Through a series of progressive, slow, measured
movements, Pilates focuses on developing
core abdominal strength.
Pilates will not only benefit muscle tone
and strength but will also focus on breathing
and postural alignment.
It helps to correct postural changes forced
on your body by the weight of your baby and
will help your pelvic floor and abdominal
muscles to return to their pre-pregnancy
state.
