Start your week with nurturing yoga and pilates! 🌱 This class is a great mix of self massage, gentle stability moves and mindful stretching. 🌿We often use Pilates props, but it’s based on a foundation of yogic philosophy and mind body awareness. So while there are movements in the mix to help you feel balanced, strong and powerful, it’s more about working on your state of mind than working on your abs 😉 This is also a great prenatal class or postnatal class - there are plenty of options for each move. 🪷 You can join us at 6pm in the studio or at home via zoom - head to my bio for bookings! . . . #gardenofyoga #nurturingyogaandpilates #gentleyoga #gentlepilates #prenatalpilates #prenatalyoga #accessibleyoga #pilatesforallbodies #darebinbusiness #yoganorthcote #foamroller (at Garden of Yoga) https://www.instagram.com/p/ClwwnGWhOVa/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Taking you all the way through your pregnancy and help and advice for after care. I have take my time to creat a class that you can do from the comfort of your own home live and on demand, all you will need is a resistance band and a yoga mat. Staying active during pregnancy can help you have a more comfortable pregnancy. The more active and fit you are during pregnancy, the easier it will be for you to adapt to your changing shape and weight gain. It will also help you to cope with labour and get back into shape after the birth. Exercise is not dangerous for your baby. There is some evidence that active women are less likely to experience problems in later pregnancy and labour. Held live on Zoom every Wednesday evening at 7.00pm all sessions will be recorded and uploaded on to the website the same evening so you want ever miss a session and you can even do it again within that week.

We hope you will join us on Wednesday, December 5 at 10 am EST! We are so excited to host our FIRST Instagram live interview with #diastasisrecti expert @munirahudanipt!! #Repost @munirahudanipt ・・・ DRA goes beyond the linea alba. Yes the linea alba gets thinned and stretched and this is a natural process that comes with pregnancy ...do you feel a "but" coming ? 😁⠀ ⠀ BUT we need to take a larger look at the rest of the abdominal wall for more answers as to why some people restore their post-partum cores and why it takes longer for others. ⠀ ⠀ 👉Connective tissue spans through the entire midsection and is affected in pregnancy. If there is a lot of lingering laxity in this abdominal connective tissue (not just the linea alba) it usually takes longer to heal since the collagen turnover rate is much slower than muscle. But that doesnt mean that you cant heal, it just means that you want to keep working at it and not compare your results with others. Work with your msucles and tissue. load them gradually, progress your exercises as soon as they feel easier and you can get better too. 💪⠀ ⠀ Side note:⠀ ⠀ I'm clearly a visual person and so I can't help but take concepts and turn them into visual diagrams. A picture is worth 1000 words...and when we're in the game of changing views and beliefs, and a picture can be worth much more!⠀ ⠀ Second side note:⠀ If you're enjoying my posts and content, come join me live with @mypelvicfloormuscles on wednesday December 5th at 10am for #Diastasisrectusabdominis101, a 3 part Question and Answer series where we will answer all of your pressing questions about DRA. Feel free to message either one of us with your questions and we'll be going over them! We've received tons of questions so far and hope to see yours!⠀ ⠀ #diastasis #diastasisrectusabdominis #abdominalmuscleseparation #mombod #postpartum #prenatal #pregnant #prenatalpilates #pelvicfloorphysiotherapist #pelvicmafia #babybump #mommytobe #momtobe #restoreyourcore #momcore #postpartumbody #pregnancyfitness #prenatalworkout #postnatalworkout #personaltrainer #pilatesinstructor #chiropractor #yogainstructor #momandbabypilates #prenatalmassage #OBGYN⠀ https://www.instagram.com/p/Bq8k8KpnMjU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=7vvx35nknnli

Pregnancy and Pilates

Over the past few weeks i’ve been doing a lot of reading about pregnancy and Pilates.  No, no news (!) it was out out curiosity and also to feel better informed when teaching prenatal clients.  This blog post summarises some of the key things i’ve learned and thought it would be helpful to share to demystify the generic, “do some pelvic floor exercises” advice that mums-to-be so often receive.

Three key changes in your body that you probably know about

1. Change in sitting and standing posture as the balance of your weight shifts forwards around the chest and abdomen.

2. Swelling of hands, feet and ankles due to fluid retention (medically known as oedema).

3.  Increase in the hormone relaxin causing ligaments to soften from a cotton like texture to a stretchier lycra.

Three key changes in your body that you probably don’t know about

1. The weight and movement (think trampoline) of the baby causes the pelvic floor to drop approximately 2.5cm.

2.  An increase in oestrogen and progesterone comes with a decrease in testosterone and with that a decrease in hand/eye co-ordination and balance.

3.  By the end of your pregnancy, you’ll have an extra 9 pints of blood to pump around the body.

So, with these things in mind what can you be doing to prepare yourself mentally and physically for pregnancy.  What i’ve found particularly interesting in my reading is that there isn’t a one size fits all solution.  The approach of the three books that are the source for most of this blog is quite different, a common thread is the need for three distinct phases for your exercise programme.  Conveniently, these are timed along with your trimesters, so if you take one thing away from this post it should be that at the minimum, you should be sure to do the exercises appropriate to the stage of your pregnancy.  I’ll now break these down.  

Note:  these exercise recommendations presume that you have had some prior Pilates experience.  If you haven’t, not to worry.  To get started, you’ll need clearance from your doctor/midwife and want to work on pre-Pilates or fundamentals with a teacher.  A one-to-one class would be ideal for this.

First Trimester

Focus on postural awareness, pelvic floor strengthening and relaxation

Good to know:  the pregnancy induced endorphins are coming in your second trimester.  You can anticipate that the feelings of tiredness and nausea should pass.

Three great exercises:

1. Pillow / Small Ball Squeeze 

2. Pelvic Clocks sitting on a swiss ball

3. Chest Expansion sitting on a swiss ball  

Second Trimester

Focus on protection against strain or injury as your shape changes

Good to know: by now you should spend no longer than 3 minutes on your back, so vary your position between exercises.  Four point kneeling and side-lying positions are ideal.  

Three great exercises:

1. Calf Stretch standing

2. Corkscrew Arms standing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5MBnMqtG1E

3. Sliding Squats against wall

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZkmzqMoQ8T4

Third Trimester

Focus on lengthening, widening and opening to reduce swelling and encourage relaxation.

Good to know: you may experience practice contractions (Braxton Hicks) during this time.  Stop exercising if you do and return to exercise after relaxing to allow this to pass.

Three great exercises:

1. Calf Raises standing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uPCKQqUWTM

2. Flower pelvic floor release visualisation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z5F6xKQpgag

3. Book/Arm Opening Circles in side-lying

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ad9aOQq-OiQ

So, what next?

I hope you’re feeling inspired by these simple, at-home exercises to start your own programme.  The Pilates method has a huge catalogue of mat and equipment based exercises suitable for prenatal clients.  When you’re ready to know more, get in touch to arrange your Prenatal Pilates sessions with me.  Visit www.eatsleeppilates.com or email eatsleeppilates@gmail.com .

I also love all the videos on this FREE YouTube channel and would highly recommend it for review and more ideas.  There’s a specific prenatal playlist on there too.
