Pregnancy Pilates Classes

We continue to offer Pregnancy Pilates classes every Saturday at 11:30am for those who are expecting or in the early post-natal stage. 

These classes focus on Pilates strengthening and stretching exercises that are safe and effective for women during there pregnancy and will assist women with having a better labour.

Our Pregnancy Pilates Class is available to women at any stage of their pregnancy who want to maintain a strong core, good posture & spinal health during this challenging time for the body.

Changes to the body & posture that come with pregnancy can be managed well with specific Pilates exercises to strengthen and stretch your muscles.  Pregnancy–related discomfort & stiff joints can be relieved with Pilates, which is aimed at keeping joints & muscles supple & fit for labour & beyond.

Pilates also focuses on breathing which is useful in preparing for labour. In addition pelvic floor strengthening forms a crucial part of Pilates, which helps with continence & pelvic stability during & after pregnancy.

Before commencing Pilates classes it is essential to have an assessment with one of our physiotherapists and attain clearance from your G.P., obstetrician or midwife if you have any medical conditions that may affect your participation.
