What do I need?

When Can I start?

Once you have had your 12 week scan and hde a chat with your doctor or midwife telling them that you planning on starting an antenatal exercise class.. If there are no complications with the pregnancy then there should be no reason not to start once the pregnancy is well established.

You can join the class up until 32 weeks and continue until you feel you want to stop, it is an individual thing depending on how your pregnancy is progressing, I’ve had several mums continue until their due date.

How often Should I exercise?

For healthy pregnant women, the guidelines recommend at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (ie, equivalent to brisk walking). This activity should be spread throughout the week and adjusted as medically indicated.

What happens in Class?

Pregnancy Pilates starts with a warm-up to help loosen and mobilise joints. Gentle toning exercises to help strengthen the body for labour. The focus of pregnancy pilates is to strengthen the core including pelvic floor exercises. Exercises are safe and effective, easily adaptable depending on your stage of pregnancy. No exercises are preformed lying on your back as this can limit blood flow to mother and baby.

The class then finish with 15 minutes relaxation and breathing exercises for use during pregnancy and labour. The classes are kept small so each person has individual attention. So everything you do is correct and safe. You’re not lost in a big class.

Testimonial

"Having suffered with a bad back in my first pregnancy I started pregnancy Pilates at 17 weeks with my second. I had no back ache, gained less weight and recovered more quickly. Natasha is extremely knowledgable and attentive and adjusts exercises to suit you as needed, would highly recommend both pregnancy and post natal classes which I am currently attending and already seeing the benefits."
