PRENATAL PILATES GROUP REFORMER CLASS

This is a specialised reformer Pilates class for the Prenatal and Postnatal client to maintain strength and stability, while preparing for and recovering from birth and beyond. Appropriate modifications are applied for different stages of your pregnancy. Start in your first trimester to stay fit and strong. Continue into your third trimester to prepare for birth and lifting your new baby. Continue after the birth to aid recovery of pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. We encourage all clients to attend at least 1x 1:1 Clinical Pilates session before commencing the Pre/Postnatal class.

​Please consult your health care provider (GP or obstetrician) before commencing any new exercise if you have a history of complicated pregnancies or miscarriage.


PRE & POST NATAL PILATES IN 1:1 CLINICAL SESSIONS & 1:3 CLINICAL SMALL GROUPS

Exercise is generally recommended for women at a mild to moderate level during their pregnancy and is suitable at all stages of pregnancy. 1:1 and 1:3 sessions offer you exercises options that are conducted on the mat, rehab reformer and stability chair. Exercises are modified to allow for body and hormonal changes throughout pregnancy and is more suited to clients experiencing pregnancy related pain or recovery. The focus on control of pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles can aid in post labour recovery and the management of diastasis recti and prevent incontinence.
