Pilates for Pregnancy

Pilates is an excellent exercise choice for women during their pregnancy as it helps to strengthen the pelvic floor muscle and the lower abdominal muscle that help with stabilizing the lower back and pelvis: the main areas of the body that will be challenged during pregnancy.

Pilates also helps with mobility, endurance and balance, which are essential for a healthy pregnancy, labour, delivery and, most importantly, recovery. 

In addition to the visible physical benefits, Pilates also offers improved mental well-being as it helps to focus and calm the mind, which in turn leads to reduced stress.  What’s more, many pregnant women feel more energetic by continuing with their Pilates program during their pregnancy.

Pilates of Kew offers pre and post-natal programs.
