What is Pregnancy Barre?
Our Pregnancy Barre classes follow the same lines as our standard Barre classes, active and fun, but with a focus on the journey that lays ahead for Mums-to-be. The pregnancy class aims to keep your body in great condition as baby grows and ultimately prepares you for the big day both physically and mentally. Labour after all is a very physical experience and it pays to be in good condition and prepared when the day comes, this class is perfect for this.
Pregnancy Barre is a little different to Pregnancy Yoga in that it is a more active exercise class. It suits someone looking to get up a bit of sweat as opposed to our sister Mummy’s Tummy pregnancy yoga classes which would focus a little more on flexibility.
What to expect
We start the class a warm up on the mats, checking in with everyone with a quick chat. Then comes some light weight exercises for the upper body, followed by a session at the barre which includes lots of strengthening and stretching exercises for backache, hip and rib tension and to improve flexibility. We finish the class with some yoga movements on the mat and a few minutes of relaxation. All of this is accompanied by great music and we fully encourage letting go and having a bit of fun with the other mums-to-be
What you’ll need
Up to 2kg weights in each hand, you could use food cans or oil/water bottles.
A yoga mat if you have one.
You’ll need a comfortable, quiet space with a counter top or chair.
