Pregnancy is one of the most fulfilling but also challenging times in a woman's life. During pregnancy the body goes through so many changes to create a protective and comfortable environment for the baby. The body is transformed by hormones and through the sheer weight of the baby.

After delivery, it is important for the new mother to gently and gradually transition to a new healthy lifestyle that allows her to fully enjoy her time with the newborn baby. This involves, among other things: redeveloping muscle strength, correcting posture, preventing injuries and achieving an overall state of mental relaxation

Post Natal Pilates is a wonderful and safe way of achieving this, even when exercising from home. A basic Post Natal Pilates workout takes place on your mat so it does not require much space. 

Below a brief list od the main benefits you can achieve by attending two Post Natal Pilates classes a week (30 mins each):
  • Strengthening your core muscle and pelvic floor
  • Toning legs and arms
  • Correcting posture and drawing awareness to the neutral spine alignment
  • Preventing injuries and eliminating causes of back/neck pain
  • Encouraging relaxation and mental focus through slow breathing
  • Helping to gradually and safely transition to a full fitness workout
So why not giving Post Natal Pilates a try? It's rewarding, won't take too much time away from your baby and the benefits are for the long term.
