PILATES MAT CLASSES

Yes! In fact all the more reason to do Pilates :) Improving brain - body connection and awareness is a key benefit of Pilates.
My teaching style is supportive and it's important you are enjoying the class while still having a proper workout. We always have a laugh (usually at my expense!) and we always learn something. Win win!
This depends on your individual situation so please contact me on 0435 050575 for a chat first. Generally speaking, if you have been doing Pilates or a similar level of exercise before pregnancy you may be okay to continue. If you have never done Pilates before, wait until your second semester and start with private classes.
This depends on your individual situation so please phone me on 0435 050575 for a chat.
If you have chronic (long term) back pain and are currently seeing a healthcare practitioner, please ask them for their advice on whether Pilates is suitable and if so, would they recommend a class, private sessions or rehabilitation Pilates with a Physiotherapist.
If you have recently injured your back and are in acute pain Pilates mat classes are not suitable for you.
Ideally twice a week e.g. one class and and one practice session at home. Realistically once a week is ok.
The more often you practice Pilates the quicker your body will integrate the new patterns of movement we're trying to set up. Feel free to ask me for 2-3 home exercises to focus on that only take 10-15mins.
Once you know the fundamental exercises, I have a short video I can send you so you can practice these at home to keep you going inbetween classes...so there really are no excuses (well no decent ones anyway!).
