NEW! Pregnancy Pilates – safe and effective exercise

A NEW Pregnant Pilates course will start on
Friday 9th September, 4:30pm – 5:25pm, for 5 weeks.
Pregnant Pilates at Studio 21 is a highly effective
and enjoyable exercise class incorporating a unique mixture of Pilates, core
stability and postural strengthening exercises, using resistance bands, balls
and body weight exercises. The course will help to strengthen the postural
muscles, thus reducing the risk of pregnancy-related back pain, maintain the
tone of your deep abdominal muscles during the first months of pregnancy, keep
the pelvic floor strong, and aid relaxation.
The course is suitable for women 14 weeks plus into
pregnancy, whether you are in the first, second or third trimester, it is important
that you do the right sort of exercise. To keep both you and your growing baby
safe it is highly advisable to exercise with an instructor who is fully trained
specifically in antenatal pilates – this will also give you peace of mind.  Vicky qualified with Body Control Pilates in
London and completed a specific antenatal course taught by Lynne Robinson, Body
Control Pilates founder, who worked with Liz Hurley during her pregnancy.
Taking part in a regular exercise programme that is
tailored for expectant women will not only increase your energy levels and help
prevent lower back pain but it will also encourage a more speedy post natal
recovery.
Exercises are specifically designed with
participants in mind, which is why it is important to complete a confidential
health screening form prior to starting the course.
Numbers on the course are limited to allow for
individual attention and bookings are taken on a first come basis.
