You are entering this very precious time of your life and I am glad to have you here and be part of your journey.
Pregnancy may come with joy and excitement as well as fear and doubt about what changes your body will go through and what your body can do. I have a strong desire to help women to feel great and be without fear during their pregnancy.
If you are pregnant, and want to do some exercise, but are not sure what exercises are safe to do, you are at the right place!
Not only Pilates is safe to do during pregnancy, but it will help your body to accommodate the pregnancy better, assist with delivery, recover better, and regain your shape after the baby is born. This form of exercise is highly recommended by many mothers, and pregnant moms often experience a wide range of benefits.
This course provides a fun, safe, and educational space for you to do weekly workouts during your pregnancy. It will provide a way for you to work out in your own home, on your own time, while helping you feel strong, able-bodied, and comfortable.
Benefits of Pilates during pregnancy:
-Strengthen the core muscles to support your growing belly to reduce back pain
-Toning and stretching your pelvic floor which is one of the active muscles that works during the birth
-Supports your posture
-Increasing blood circulation
-Learning good breathing techniques that help you to relax
-Using the whole body because it takes the whole body to give birth
-Provides a sense of control over the body to feel confident and strong
Looking forward to seeing you at the course!
