Prenatal Pilates Exercise Class
Exercise is extremely important during pregnancy. In fact, many women who exercise during pregnancy have experienced increased endurance for labor and delivery, have better mood and sleep patterns, and a more rapid postpartum weight loss. Prenatal Pilates at PVMC is taught by licensed physical therapists. During class, you will learn the fundamentals of safe exercise, while building core strength, circulation, proper alignment, and breathing techniques. This eight-week class is for women in their first – third trimester of pregnancy.
