If you’re new to pregnancy, you might have many questions about the best ways to care for your body and your growing baby. As a seasoned Barre and Pilates trainer, I can attest to how safely practiced exercise can benefit the entire body during pregnancy.
Pilates, in particular, enhances strength, balance, and alignment. It’s one of the few disciplines that engage the pelvic floor in every exercise, focusing on small, supportive muscles that tend to weaken and cause joint issues as the hormone Relaxin increases. By regularly practicing Pilates and engaging the pelvic floor before and during pregnancy, you’ll condition specific pelvic muscles (and others) to aid in delivery, quicken recovery, and prepare you for the physical demands of motherhood.
Personalized guidance is invaluable for pregnancy workouts, so I’ve created a series of live, accessible, and affordable digital group classes. These classes provide mums and others with specialized Pilates and Barre training for safe, high-quality at-home sessions. Join me below for an exclusive Pilates class designed just for Mama readers.
Important Tips:
- Avoid lying on your back: This position can compress a significant blood vessel supporting the uterus.
- Small, aligned movements: Help stabilize the pelvis when Relaxin increases.
- Daily pelvic floor exercises: These support pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery.
Special Offer for Mama Readers: Enjoy 60-minute group classes from as little as £5 per session, plus a FREE prenatal class with the code “ABSOLUTELYMAMA” at www.youridealfit.com/retreats.
