Benefits Of Prenatal Pilates​​

​

• Improves Posture
  Pregnancy can lead to shifts in your posture due to hormonal changes, a growing belly and an increased lumbar curve in your spine. Pilates strengthens the muscles that support the spine, helping to improve posture and alleviate back pain.

• Core Strength
  A strong core is crucial during pregnancy, as it helps support the growing uterus, reduces strain on your lower back, and prepares your body for labour. Pilates emphasises controlled, deep core engagement.

• Pelvic Floor Health
  Both Reformer and Mat Pilates incorporate exercises that engage the pelvic floor muscles, which are essential for childbirth and recovery. Strengthening these muscles can reduce the risk of Incontinence and Pelvic discomfort.

• Improves Breathing
  Pilates focuses on controlled breathing, which can be helpful for relaxation and managing pain during labour. Good breathing patterns will allow you to connect better to your pelvic floor and core muscles.

• Balance and Stability
  The changes in a pregnant woman's body can affect balance. Pilates helps maintain stability through strength and flexibility exercises.

• Stress Relief and Relaxation
  Pilates promotes mindfulness and body awareness, offering mental and physical relaxation during a time of physical change. Our one-to-one sessions provide a supportive space where you can focus on yourself.
