Pilates and Pregnancy

Pilates is gentle and therefore an ideal form of exercise throughout pregnancy to help maintain and improve fitness levels.

Pilates is controlled and uses focus and concentration and will therefore help increase awareness of the body. Through our breathing techniques you will feel more relaxed and prepared for labour and your baby’s birth.

Pilates focuses on core stability which supports the spine and posture – helping avoid backache and helps support the body better as it changes throughout pregnancy.

If you want to exercise during and after pregnancy and haven’t done much before, Pilates is a great way to start - we begin slowly, work with no impact on those joints and strengthen the muscles and cardiovascular system in a very gentle way.

If you are fit, then Pilates is a great way to maintain your fitness level in a safe environment.
