Prenatal & Postnatal Pilates in London

” Two hearts, one body”

Pilates for pregnancy 

 During pregnancy, a woman’s body undergoes physiological and biomechanical changes that affect posture and breathing which may result in discomfort and pain. Therefore it is important to exercise more than ever to stay healthy and pain-free. 

Benefits are:

Helps to strengthen pelvic floor muscles

Helps to increase body awareness and self-image

Reduce the risk of hypertension

Improve circulation, sleep, and mood

Please note that you need to obtain permission from your doctor before you start your exercise program. You need to wait until the 14th week of your pregnancy before you can start with pregnancy pilates.

Postnatal Pilates

Pilates is a great form of exercise to get into shape after having a baby as it is based on strengthening pelvic floor muscles and abdominals.

Benefits of postnatal pilates are:

pelvic floor  and core strengthening

C-section and prolapse recovery

improves diastasis recti

relieves lower back pain

stress relief

I offer a complete body and diastasis recti (abdominal separation) check before you start an exercise program. You can start exercising after your 6 weeks check.
