Looking after yourself
Please do not exercise if you are feeling unwell or have just eaten a heavy meal.
If your medical status (or any medical conditions) changes in any way from your initial assessment, it is your responsibility to inform your class instructor. It is important that in the class environment, you exercise and progress at your own safe pace. It is better to do a few exercises well than more exercises poorly, therefore putting yourself at risk of injury. If while doing any of the exercises you feel uncomfortable or unsure as to what to do, stop, advise the instructor and wait until he/she is available to come around and check the exercise with you. Remember it is always advisable to consult your GP prior to taking up any form of new exercise.

Postnatal Pilates
This is a gentle 45 minute to 1 hour class suitable after the mothers 6 week post-natal check until the baby is mobile. The focus of the class is introducing the basic principles of Pilates with particular attention to pelvic floor strengthening, abdominal support and postural awareness. The class is designed to teach you how to incorporate your baby into the exercise and how to adapt the exercise and how to adapt the exercise so that you can practice them at home. Please see our information leaflet.
Antenatal Pilates
Pilates is considered o be one of the best forms of exercise for pregnant women and as such is often the first time many women attend classes. The classes are suitable from 16 weeks until full term. The traditional Pilates exercises are not only broken down into a suitable level but also further modified to allow for positioning and comfort. The class focuses on postural awareness, spinal stability, pelvic floor strength and breath control. Keeping the deep postural muscles strong during pregnancy can help prevent back pain due to hormonal changes, increased strain from the weight of the baby and altered centre of gravity. Good deep abdominal and pelvic floor strength can aid labour and post-natal recovery. Please see our information leaflet.
