Prenatal yoga classes & Prenatal Reformer Pilates classes help mobilize areas of the body that suffer from soreness due to pregnancy.
The classes focus on physical maintenance and conditioning for the arrival of the unborn child. The aim of prenatal classes is to create movement in the body, work on breathing and mobility in areas of the body made rigid by pregnancy (for example, the hips). The emphasis is on hip-opening postures, back stretching and resting postures. Certain inversions, closed twists and postures that strongly mobilize the abdominal muscles should be avoided.
Prenatal yoga prepares you for all phases of pregnancy and childbirth. The body and mind are conditioned for the arrival of the child. Exercises are performed gently.
You can take part in the classes from the very first weeks right up to your delivery. Your doctor’s approval is highly recommended, and indispensable if you are less than 12 weeks pregnant.
Increase strength and flexibility
The posture sequences proposed are adapted for pregnant women. This class is ideal if you want to increase your strength and flexibility to better cope with the change in your body during and after pregnancy, without the presence of intensity.
Tone muscles, especially the back
Prenatal yoga and prenatal reformer pilates will also help you strengthen your back to prevent long-term pain (especially when carrying your baby).
Stress management and relaxation
Prenatal classes are beneficial practices for pregnant women, offering essential stress management and relaxation techniques during these periods of transition and change.
