MUM & BABY PILATES

Thursday 10.30am – 11.30am

BR1 2SX Studio

These small and friendly mum & baby Pilates classes are aimed for mums with babies up to 1 year of age , ideally before the babies are freely crawling. The class is designed to help you regain your strength and fitness post pregnancy, safely and effectively, by building strength from the inside out. It is really important to exercise in the right way after having a baby so as to prevent diastasis or diastasic worsening. Leaning how to restrengthen your core and pelvic floor muscles using the Pilates technique is invaluable.

The classes are kept to small groups of so that you get the most out of the sessions. You will learn how to safely and effectively exercise your core and abdominal muscles and what to do if you have diastasis or a prolapse. When done correctly, Pilates exercises can help your body effectively recover from the strains and stresses of pregnancy.

This class will enable you to bring your baby whilst you ease yourself back into exercise safely, and surround yourself with a support network of women in the same situation as you.
