TRAINING DURING PREGNANCY.

As you are embarking on this new journey, I want to make sure you have the best tools and knowledge to take as good care of yourself and your changing body as you possibly can.

This is not a time to reach your ultimate fitness level, to lose weight or set new records. It is not about aesthetics or performance but to keep you at a healthy fitness level in order to have a comfortable pregnancy, without unnecessary aches and pains. An easier labor, and potentially faster postnatal recovery.

In my classes, you will learn to use your deepest abdominals, reducing diastasis recti and learning to regulate intra-abdominal pressure from your growing baby. You will also learn to exercise your pelvic floor properly which is not only useful for the actual birth and your later recovery process but a valuable tool for the rest of your life in order to maintain pelvic floor health. The widening of the hips can cause tension and pain (f.ex. hips, lower back, groin area) which you will address through various hip mobility and booty strengthening exercises. Most women will experience changes in their posture during pregnancy, so we will also keep a close eye on fixing the alignment so that you can melt all those tensions away.

This prenatal group class is a good one to join once you have entered the 2nd trimester - this is when your body starts to change and requires gradually a modified approach.

My prenatal pilates classes will guide your throughout your pregnancy, trimester by trimester. It is so much more than just a workout, it is also an education. So, you can be independent in taking care of yourself in your daily life and not only rely on me.

I want you to always remember that your body knows exactly what it’s doing. Everything you are going through is normal and YOU’VE GOT THIS!

I offer training during pregnancy in a personal training, semi-private training as well as group settings. Click on the button below, to explore more of these training options.
