Pilates is an ideal exercise for pregnancy and the post-natal period, as it works on core stability and especially the pelvic floor. Pilates keeps you safely toned and stretched, easing muscular discomfort through your pregnancy; breathing practice aids relaxation and labour. Post-natally, Pilates is perfect for regaining abdominal and pelvic floor strength.
Bea runs ante and post natal classes for three women, providing individual attention and care. Pilates can be used right up to and in labour.
