Pilates And Pregnancy
Many women want to continue to exercise during pregnancy, but are concerned that physical exertion could cause harm to their unborn baby and indeed themselves.
Because pilates is a gentle low impact form of exercise, it is considered one of the best forms of exercise for a pregnant woman.
And because pilates helps maintain and improve the condition of both your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles, it is not only a safe form of exercise while pregnant, but can be hugely beneficial.
Find out more about pilates and how it can help you during your pregnancy with our
guide to pilates and pregnancy.
Pilates And The Alexander Technique
Many of those who are drawn to the health benefits of practising pilates are also interested in the Alexander Technique and there's little doubt that your mind and body can benefit from both. Find out more with our introduction to the Alexander Technique article.
