The perfect low-impact pregnancy workout! With consultation from your doctor, our instructors focus on gentle exercises that strengthen your pelvic floor and core muscles. Expecting mothers can look forward to benefits from decreased back pain to increased flexibility and balance.
Our certified pilates instructors monitor you closely to ensure you’re not doing exercises that place undesirable stress and strain on your abdominal cavity. There is a safe and correct way to work your abdominals pregnant though! Additionally, as of the second trimester you will avoid laying on your stomach and spending too much time on your back.
Great question, we like to combine both! Pilates is beneficial to strengthen your tiny stabilizer muscles for a strong core, and pairing that with prenatal or restorative yoga can result in increased relaxation through breathwork. Ask your Anahana Wellness Advisor on the best program to incorporate yoga into your prenatal pilates program. Learn more about piliates or yoga benefits.
Absolutely. With consultation from your doctor, our instructors focus on exercises designed to rebuild your core, strengthen your hips and back, and stabilize your pelvic floor.
