Pregnancy Pilates at Room For Movement
Our small group reformer classes are suitable for you if you’re in your first trimester of pregnancy.
Once you get into the second trimester and beyond the needs of your body will change and we’ll guide you towards our semi private studio sessions where we can provide personalised Pilates sessions that not only cater to your specific stage of pregnancy, but also to how you feel on the day. Your teacher will choose exercises that prepare for the birthing process but also prepare for your first step into exercise after the birth.
Our teaching team are highly qualified in all things women’s health, with additional training in pre and post natal movement, diastasis recti, and pelvic prolapse. If you’re looking for a studio who can prioritise the needs of your body and give you the attention it deserves then we’re here to hold that space for you.
In these classes you’ll…
Tap into your mind body connection
Strengthen your upper back, shoulders and arms in preparation for feeding, lifting and rocking your baby
Encourage mobility in the tissues of hips and pelvis to prepare for birth
Prepare physically for birthing and all the squats, lunges, leaning and lifting associated with parenthood
Feel educated on the role of the core strength, pelvic floor and the abdominal wall in pregnancy exercise, birth and postpartum recovery
Learn the tools for moving your body in early postpartum
