Pregnancy Pilates is a wonderful way to safely keep moving throughout your pregnancy.  It can strengthen your core and pelvic floor muscles to better equip you for the strains put on your body during pregnancy and whilst looking after your newborn.  Pregnancy pilates can also provide relief from pelvic girdle pain (PGP) and sciatica and help you relax.

It is not advisable to try a new, strenuous activity and we suggest using caution during the first 12 weeks (first trimester).  If you have any questions or concerns you can contact Tara directly.  pilatesandtara@gmail.com
