“I recommend Pilates to be the best form of low impact
exercise to prepare you for the physical demands of
pregnancy, labour and motherhood."
Lesley (Leeds Midwife)
Why Exercise?
Similar to a marathon, labour requires training and preparation and time to recover and recondition afterwards. Evidence from the American Association for Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (ACOG) shows that people who exercise regularly throughout their pregnancy have shorter more gentle births, recover quicker and return to their pre pregnancy fitness faster. Practicing Pilates helps maintain and improve the condition of both your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles. Pilates will not place strain on the joints or back but will in fact strengthen the back, the stomach and the muscles around the pelvic area - allowing for an easier pregnancy, delivery and recovery. Exercises can be adapted at each stage of pregnancy to allow for gentler or more focused exercise.
“I did Pilates with Kath until my last week of pregnancy. Thanks to it I kept my flexibility and had a pain free back throughout my pregnancy. Pilates gave me the stamina for a long labour, the breathing practice really helped me maintain my energy for pushing and all the pelvic floor strengthening really paid off as I didn’t tear and recovered very quickly. Thank you so much Kath.” Gisela Guardiola
Why Choose Leeds Pilates Place?
“Post natal Pilates really helped me to regain my strength and get my body back in shape as well as helping me find a new found confidence in my body. Claire was encouraging and inspirational, and lessons were always rejuvenating and fun.” Sara Bordoley
