In today’s class we are working with birthing balls. You can use the balls at any stage in your pregnancy as they provide great support but they are particularly useful in the latter stages of your pregnancy and for the lead up to birth. And most importantly can be used during birth itself. So this is a workout of a different kind that explores specific movement to help release tension whilst providing great positions to use in pregnancy and birth.
The Powerful Pregnancy is an exercise and wellness programme designed by prenatal expert, Jane Wake. Our mission is to to empower women to be their strongest both physically and mentally during pregnancy. Movement is integral to everybody – it is what we are designed to do. Never is this more so than during pregnancy. This programme will take women through their postnatal period, ‘The Fourth Trimester’ and return to full exercise. So join us on our journey to empower and encourage women to find their optimal strength.
If you haven’t yet got your birthing ball, make sure you buy a fitness ball that it of ‘anti burst’ quality. Here is a guide to birthing ball sizes, please note that this is quite different to what may be recommended for general fitness
