 Benefits of Pregnancy Pilates: 

  1.  Strengthening core and pelvic floor muscles – Strengthening the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles can benefit labour and postpartum recovery. A strong core can help reduce back pain and discomfort. It is essential to support the added weight of pregnancy and maintain proper posture. 
  2. Postural awareness – Pregnancy often leads to changes in posture as the body adjusts to the growing baby. Pilates emphasises body awareness and alignment. Which can help prevent poor posture and its associated aches and pains 
  3. Improved balance – As the centre of gravity shifts during pregnancy, maintaining balance can become challenging. Pilates focuses on balance, stability and coordination. 
  4. Mobility and flexibility – maintaining mobility and flexibility through gentle exercises and stretches can help reduce muscle tension and alleviate pain and discomfort.
