Pilates for Pregnant Women

Pilates is the ideal form of exercise to make your pregnancy and the birth more comfortable. With its focus on core stability, the pelvic floor, gently strengthening and toning the muscles, it develops good posture which can easily nose-dive during pregnancy.

Benefits of Pilates During Pregnancy

  • It is an extremely safe and effective method of exercise. By focussing on the postural muscles you will improve your core stability and pelvic-floor strength, to help you stand tall and avoid backache.
  • Pilates during pregnancy gives you great abdominal tone. Stronger abdominals provide better support and enables your spine to lengthen. The improvement in your posture gives your baby more room.
  • Pilates is respected and recommended by the medical profession. It alleviates the aches and pains often associated with the changes that are taking place in your body.
  • Pilates improves circulation, which is beneficial to you and your baby.
  • Pilates enables you to develop increased body awareness. You will learn to relax and breathe correctly in preparation for labour.
  • Pilates promotes good recovery from labour and the birth, giving you the basis to regain your former figure with the post-natal programme.
