Why Pre & post natal pilates?

As you move through the different stages of pregnancy it’s important that you continue moving safely. Pilates can help you retain muscle tone and gently build strength that will help relieve the pressure put on your posture, limit aches and pains and support your bump as it grows.

It will also strengthen your pelvic floor and support recovery after birth.

As well as the physical perks, Pilates can act as a mental time-out, offering meditative benefits as you as you learn to concentrate on breathing and moving with mindful control.

YOUR STORIES

​"My classes have been glorious throughout my pregnancy. I arrived every week a knot of stress and was sent home soaring and relaxed. I definitely think it has contributed to me being able to continue cycling and walking into town at 40 weeks." Harriet, Bristol 

"I feel stronger, more confident in my body's ability and it obviously worked wonders for fertility as I've been able to share my pregnancy journey with you too!"  Zoe, Bristol
