At the moment I am not running in person prenatal classes, however you can purchase my previous Pregnancy Pilates class recordings below. There are six pre recorded classes in this package, value of €77.94, available for €19.99.
Pilates is one of the best prenatal exercises to develop an inner baby carriage that will support you and your growing baby throughout pregnancy and beyond. 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!
What my clients think:
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.
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.
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!
