On Demand Pregnancy Pilates

Imagine what might happen if women emerged from their labour beds with a renewed sense of the strength and power of their bodies.

Pilates is one of the best forms of exercise for women throughout pregnancy. My Pregnancy Pilates classes focus on maintaining your posture to reduce back aches, conditioning your deepest core muscles to maintain abdominal and pelvic floor strength and prepare your body and mind for childbirth.

I have been teaching pregnancy Pilates since 2011. I truly think it is one of the best choices to have a comfortable, healthy and calm pregnancy.

Benefits of Pregnancy Pilates:

Learn how to improve your deep abdominal and pelvic floor strength
Helps you to manage your pregnancy weight (in addition to eating a well-balanced diet). Obesity in pregnancy has been shown to be associated with increased risk for gestational diabetes, hypertension, Cesarean and other complications.
Reduces the chance of a wide abdominal separation late in pregnancy
Improve your posture to reduce lower back and pelvic pain
Prepare your pelvic floor for childbirth and recovery
Improve the position of the baby for a faster and less painful childbirth
Speed up your postnatal recovery and get back in shape sooner!

It is advised you do not start Pilates or any new form of exercise unless you are 13 weeks into your pregnancy as a precaution. However, if you already practice Pilates you can continue from the beginning of your pregnancy if you feel up to it.

Book Recommendation: Let Birth be Born Again by Jean Elaine Sutton

Started with the pregnancy pilates classes which were brilliant, I had a quick labour and delivery on my first child and I think the classes really helped with that.

Started Barre after that. It is amazing! Emma pushes you which is great. I have a flat tummy, toned arms and legs and great flexibility thanks to Emma. Classes are always fun. Studio provides a perfect workout environment.

Emma, thanks for 6 weeks of pregnancy pilates that had me leaving the studio every time feeling energised and good. Wish I had done this on my first two pregnancies! Will definitely recommend.

Ina

I thoroughly enjoyed pregnancy pilates classes with Emma. I attend classes with her from 13weeks until full term. The classes really enabled me to maintain a strong core and helped me understand the importance of my pelvic floor. I definitely think I would have been lost without them.

Jennifer McGinn

I liked having time out to relax , engage and continue with pilates exercises that I had done prior to pregnancy. The classes were challenging yet Emma catered specifically to the needs of a pregnant woman. The classes enabled me to stay calm during my pregnancy. Emma also provides specific stretches and exercises that can be practiced at home to ensure body aches don't become unbearable during pregnancy. I've attended the pregnancy classes three times now and would recommend highly.

The pregnancy pilates was a really great support throughout my pregnancy. It taught me watch my posture and breath and I found it really useful through the birth and after. I would recommend this class. Thanks!!!

I attended Emma's Pregnacy Pilates course last year and found it so relaxing and beneficial. It was an hour to focus on myself and helped me prepare for my impending arrival.

After I had my daughter I returned to Emma's barre concept class. I was 6 months postpartum and I haven't looked back. Really enjoy the classes and it's helping me regain my pre pregnancy composure and have even more flexibility now then I did before. I would highly recommend Emma's classes.

Emma Harkin

Having required physio post-pregnancy, I found Emma's ability to adapt moves, and even recommendations for home practice, excellent. Emma has in-depth ante-natal and postpartum training so however pregnancy has affected you physically, she's probably heard of it and can help.

Emma is highly qualified, motivated, enthusiastic, encouraging, also regularly up-skilling, training and sharing her new knowledge or moves. I really feel the benefit for days afterwards!

Postnatal Programme:

If you are in the final few weeks of your pregnancy or have recently given birth you will be interested in my Body After Baby Online Programme. This you can begin in the first few weeks postpartum to strengthen your Pelvic Floor and begin to correct your posture until you feel your core strength has returned.
