Come and unwind after a busy or tiring day in a class designed to leave you feeling relaxed. Our antenatal classes focus on breathing, gentle stretching and strengthening the muscles of the pelvic floor, back, arms and buttocks. An all round class leaves you feeling calm, energized and good about yourself. What you can expect to achieve from a Pregnancy workout? In pregnancy, the pressure of the growing uterus on the spine causes the centre of gravity to change. With an increased curve in the back, and the separation of abdominal muscles, many women suffer from backache and develop poor posture. A Pilates workout during pregnancy is based on exercises chosen especially for strengthening the core abdominal muscles and the muscles of the pelvic floor. Focus on these core muscle groups will help support the weight of the growing baby, promote good posture, and strengthen and lengthen the spine. Pelvic floor focus will aid a quicker recovery after the birth. Exercises to maintain tone in both the arms and legs will aid the lifting and carrying to come. Pilates will also help to prevent unwanted conditions like varicose veins, oedema and haemorrhoids. Pilates in pregnancy also makes it easier to get back into shape postpartum. |
