Why do Pilates during Pregnancy?

Описание: PRENATAL PILATES is great for your baby and even better for you! 🤰🏻👶🏼 🍼 ⠀
⠀
Benefits of Pilates during pregnancy:

▪️Exercises are low-impact and adapted through the different stages of pregnancy to keep you and the baby safe.⠀
▪️Improves your physical form, helps to have a healthy pregnancy and prepares the body for a better birth.⠀
▪️Helps in the postnatal recovery of the body after childbirth.⠀
▪️Strengthens the abdominal wall, the pelvic floor muscles (crucial for delivery) and strengthens and tones your muscles in general.⠀
▪️Reduces back pain by strengthening the core muscles.⠀
▪️Functional movements prepare you for your daily tasks once the child is born (e.g. carrying weight or flexing over to bath the baby), whilst keeping a healthy posture and thus avoiding hurting your back.⠀
▪️Increases joint mobility, but also helps to stabilise your joints which become lax during pregnancy.⠀
▪️Decreases symptoms of joint stiffness (pain), which are common during pregnancy.⠀
▪️Increases circulation helping reduce swelling and varicose veins.⠀
▪️Improves your balance and stability, which is usually affected during pregnancy.

▪️Focuses on breathing and relaxation, therefore provides a good respiratory training, which is essential when facing labour.⠀
▪️Increases body awareness and a good body alignment, as well as promotes a good posture.⠀
▪️Enhances your mental wellbeing and helps to cope with anxiety and emotional ups and downs.⠀
