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!

Terms & Conditions:
- In some circumstances, you could be advised against exercise during pregnancy. You should always ask your Midwife or Doctor if Pilates is right for you before you sign up for class.
- 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.
- Before confirming your booking, please ensure you will be able to attend as I will not be able to facilitate refunds after the class has begun.

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.
