Pilates for New Moms
Description: When you’re a new mom, trying to squeeze in a shower between feedings and diaper changes can seem daunting, never mind trying to fit in a trip to the gym! However, the postpartum body is not only recovering from childbirth but also from hormone-induced loose joints and stretched-out abdominals, and it is vital for new moms to devote some precious moments to their health and well-being.
When working toward regaining stability, strength, and body awareness it is crucial to perform the correct exercises that safely engage the core. Postnatal Pilates offers a safe, effective, and progressive means of reforming the body, and the exercises can be done at home!
This Pilates for New Moms class will start from the basics so, even if you are new to Pilates, you will be able to follow along. The class will progress through therapeutically modified Pilates exercises that will systematically strengthen, tone, and restore muscle balance of the abdominals, pelvic floor, and back and hip muscles, while promoting correct movement patterns for proper posture.
Leave the little ones at home, bring your mat and workout attire, and come join a group of moms interested in rediscovering their core.
