Pilates for Pregnancy
Pilates has long been a popular exercise regime for those looking to improve their core strength, flexibility, and overall fitness. However, it is also an effective form of exercise for women during pregnancy, as it can help with the physical changes that occur during this time. Mongoose Bodyworks is a studio that specializes in Pilates and pre-natal care, offering Pre-natal Pilates sessions for women at all stages of their pregnancy.
Pilates is a low-impact form of exercise that focuses on balancing the muscles of the core, including the abdominal, back, and pelvic floor muscles. This can help women maintain good posture, improve their balance, and reduce the risk of back pain, which is a common complaint during pregnancy. Pilates also helps to increase flexibility and range of motion, which can be especially helpful during labor and delivery.
Prenatal Pilates
Mongoose Bodyworks offers private sessions for pre-natal women. These customized sessions allow women to work one-on-one with a certified Pilates instructor, who can tailor the exercises to their specific needs and goals. During pre-natal Pilates sessions,, women will learn exercises that are safe and effective for pregnancy. These may include modified versions of traditional Pilates exercises, as well as exercises that focus on specific areas of the body that are more vulnerable during pregnancy, such as the pelvic floor muscles. Pre-natal Pilates also incorporates breathing techniques and relaxation exercises, which can help women stay calm and centered during pregnancy and childbirth.
Pre-natal Pilates at our studio also has emotional benefits. Pregnancy can be a stressful time for many women, as they face many changes and uncertainties. Pilates in a supportive environment can help women relieve stress and anxiety, which can have a positive impact on both the mother and the developing baby.
