2017 HEALTH & WELL BEING WORKSHOPS
​

WORKSHOP 1: PRENATAL MATWORK PILATES
Presenter: Belinda Edwards, Pilates Instructor
Date: TBA

Pilates is a great form of exercise to do before, during and after birth. Safe and fun, it focuses on pelvic and core strength to support the baby but also the mother's body as her pregnancy progresses. Maintaining necessary core strength aids in an easier vaginal birth and quicker recovery time. Plates also helps to repair the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles that have been stretched and strained throughout the pregnancy. It can also help to prepare your body for the challenge of carrying and feeding your new baby as he or she grows.

To be led by Belinda Edwards, our current Prenatal Pilates class instructor and mother of two, the Prenatal Pilates Workshop will be performed on the mat with easy to access equipment, so you can do the exercises at home.

The workshop will focus on:
- Awareness of good posture during pregnancy
- Lateral thoracic breathing for relaxation, stress relief and to assist the core & pelvic floor to function efficiently
- Take home exercises to strengthen and stabilise your joints and muscles
- Exercises to avoid during pregnancy
