THE BLISSFUL GROUP

Prenatal - classes are all about helping you deal with the many changes that are happening during pregnancy, and preparing your body for growing baby. They are formed of gentle exercise, to help strengthen your hips, back and legs, help relieve any pregnancy aches and pains you may have, create space for baby, and also prepare the body for birth. We also have lots of lovely relaxation exercises for that well deserved you time. They are also a great way of meeting other expectant Mums and there is always a real sense of support within the groups. The classes are always a nice small size, which means I have time to give that one-to-one support, and I can tailor the exercises depending on any particular aches and pains you may have that week and how many weeks pregnant you are? I can take ladies from 12 weeks, all the way to and past your due date.

Postnatal - classes are designed to help you understand your post birth body, with gentle exercises working from the inside out, with the exercises progressing as the weeks progress.
We work on strengthening your core and pelvic floor, improving muscle tone, strengthening the back and improving posture, helping to boost energy levels and self-esteem, and not forgetting that all important ‘you time’.

With lots of changes having happened to the body during pregnancy, it’s all about reconnecting the brain back to the muscles and closing everything back down.
I can take you in class from 6 weeks postnatal, once you have been signed off by the midwife.

General - Classes are formed of gentle exercise and stretches to help improve body tone, balance and strength. There is lot of focus on working from the inside out, and core strength.
Being in the water means you have a greater range of motion, whilst being supported as the water stabilises the joints. The water also has a natural resistance which is great for the exercises, which can be enhanced with the use of floats.
