Pilates & Pregnancy

Pilates & Pregnancy

Whether you are currently pregnant or a new Mum, we are here to help you on your journey through pregnancy and beyond.

We will teach and educate you on how Pilates can help you through childbirth, and provide you with safe but challenging Pilates exercises that will help whilst your body is changing through the different trimesters; and importantly help you to remain physically and mentally strong after the birth of your child.

Pilates involves a series of positions and movements which train your body to be balanced, strong, coordinated and flexible. The pregnancy interpretation of Pilates focuses on deep breathing and relaxation, something that will prove very useful throughout pregnancy and when in labour. The specially adapted movements will focus on your pelvic floor, your tummy and back muscles – the keys to good strength, balance and posture.

Upon strengthening your whole body through Pilates movements, you will find it easier to carry the amounting weight of the baby; and attending regular Pilates classes will instil confidence into an expecting mum. As your body becomes stronger and more balanced, there will be less worry of stumbling, decreased discomfort and a more relaxed approach to giving birth.

Back Your Body is home to a staff that specialise in Pilates for pregnancy in Sidcup – our expertise can assure you that both you and your baby will be cared for with careful and comforting hands.
