Ante-Natal Pilates
Medical professionals firmly advocate continuing with exercise during a healthy pregnancy. Pilates is an ideal form of exercise in the ante-natal period. It is low-impact and is designed to target the pelvic floor and lower abdominal muscles during this important time. It helps to maintain strength and flexibility of the postural muscles, giving you the strength required for pregnancy and delivery, and most importantly for looking after your new arrival.
Post-Natal Pilates
Pilates during the post-natal period is arguably the most beneficial form of exercise at this time. It helps to rehabilitate the pelvic floor and lower abdominal muscles, and targets the weakened muscles of the thoracic spine, gluteal (buttock), lower back and pelvic area. It is the ideal foundation from which you can return to your pre-pregnancy sporting activities and fitness levels.
Ballet Barre
Ballet Barre is a unique mix of ballet and pilates moves performed at the barre. Benefits include improved activation of the deep core muscles, improved postural alignment, increased strength and flexibility, in particular of the hip muscles, as well as increased energy and endurance.
Ballet Barre Classes are suitable for anybody wishing to work on improving their posture, strength and flexibility, and, above all, they are fun.
