The Bump Programm
About the course
Pregnancy Pilates offers all the usual benefits of pilates, including strengthening and lengthening muscles, and improving mobility and coordination. But in a pregnancy Pilates class, however, all exercises are adapted to make it suitable for prenatal women.
For example, after 16 weeks of gestation, it's not recommended to exercise when lying flat on your back. It is recommended to prop yourself up with pillows or stability balls and you should still work in a neutral spine position. We also often work in a side lying or in a 4-point kneeling position. In the third trimester balance may become an issue as well as fluid retention so we do less standing work.
​
The exercises are focused on the abdominals, back and pelvic floor muscles, which are very important when it comes to childbirth. It works on keeping the muscles throughout the body – upper body, lower body and abdominal area – strong, toned and connected to the core so as to reduce pregnancy aches and pains and help speed up postnatal recovery.
