Pilates For Pregnancy and Beyond

Have you been having a hard time deciding how to stay in shape before, during and after your pregnancy? Pilates, together with cardiovascular exercise is an ideal way to reach your goals. The body goes through incredible, exciting and unfamiliar changes with pregnancy. While you may feel out of control with the physical and emotional changes during or after pregnancy, Pilates is a safe and effective approach to fitness during this very important time of your life. The dramatic influence of water weight, baby weight, maternal fat stores and increased blood volume can make any pregnant woman feel bloated, irritable, tired, depressed and just not like yourself. As the baby demands attention from all the systems in the body, it is easy to feel as if your body is not your own.

The key to a successful pregnancy and postpartum recovery is balance--mental and physical. While it may seem counter-intuitive, it is important to maintain some measure of core strength to support your growing belly. One of the most common complaints during pregnancy is back pain. By creating a natural support for the belly with strong core muscles, pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum recovery can be made easier and back pain can be significantly reduced.

Many women find Pilates to be on of the most effective exercise regimes to do both during and after their pregnancy. One important benefit of Pilates for pregnancy is that Pilates is great for building core strength so that you can keep the alignment of your body in check. If your abdominals, back and pelvic floor muscles are toned and you are able to stand, sit and function in alignment (which is different for everyone), your body will support you through a more comfortable pregnancy and delivery. Pilates is also famous for helping new moms get their figures back very quickly after the baby arrives!

Premier Pilates & Yoga offers Prenatal and Postpartum Pilates private sessions as well as group classes specifically for the prenatal/postpartum client. Private sessions are tailored to meet your individual needs. Semi-Private Equipment Group sessions work as a circuit, thus utilizing all of the Classical Pilates equipment, including the Reformer, Cadillac, High, Low and Arm Chairs, Barrels, Spine Corrector, Foot Corrector, and Mat.
