Description

"Women today...are often physically unfit for pregnancy and labour...Pilates exercises, breathing and relaxation will help the journey through labour to safe delivery of the child" - Lisa Marshall (Midwife).

"Body control Pilates, with it`s emphasis on good postural alignment, breathing and core stability, is perfect for the pregnant mother. It can help prevent joint instability caused when ligaments become lax through hormonal changes. The exercises are ideal for keeping both mother and baby fit healthy." - Jacqueline Knox (Physiotherapist).

At last, a safe and effective Pilates programme that takes into account all the changes your body is going through whilst pregnant. Designed for use in pregnancy from 16 weeks onwards and from 6 weeks after birth, these exercises will:

Make your pregnancy more comfortable

Prepare you for the rigours of labour and for the demands of motherhood

Help you get back into shape more quickly after the birth

Teach you to use your natural `girdle of strength` allowing you to carry the added weight of the baby easily

Improve your body awareness, helping you discover how to use your breath and release tension so that labour is more comfortable

Work the pelvic floor in every exercise, so you can gain greater control during delivery itself, and soon return to normal after the birth.

Not only will this workout help you to feel good about yourself, but by boosting your body`s lymphatic, circulatory and other systems, it will also promote optimal health for both you and your baby.
