Pre/Post natal exercise classes and description

Pre Natal class focuses on posture and strengthening and toning the muscles that are under strain throughout your pregnancy. Preparing your body for labor and learning how to relax and breathe so that you enjoy every stage of this wonderful journey.

Post Natal class focuses on regaining correct posture after the birth of your baby, retraining and toning the muscles back to strength and shape before you became pregnant. Learning safe and effective exercises and learning how to allow you as a new Mum some time to breathe.

Pre and post natal Personal Training

Regardless whether you are trying to conceive, are expecting or have just recently had a baby, optimal fitness & health can be achieved, and maintained throughout the trimesters and beyond with personalised Pre & Postnatal Fitness Training.

At Manuka Health we offer specialised pre/post natal coaching from a personal trainer with emphasis on safety for mother and baby.

Mums-to-be are taken through a program that is tailored specifically for pregnant women. As the baby grows and the Mum’s shape changes throughout the trimesters so too does her training plan to allow for changes in her body and increased energy demands.
Pregnancy is not a time to get fit or loose weight; but it is a vital time for Mums to take care of themselves and their baby by building physical and mental strength and stamina to prepare Mum for labor and ultimately the demands of a newborn.

Post Natal Training is when Mums can look to getting fit, losing weight and regaining their pre-pregnancy shape. Your personal trainer will provide you with the motivation and guidance working through a specific training program focusing on the major mummy muscles.

At Manuka Health we understand the emotional, as well as the physical, impact of pregnancy on new Mums. We provide support and instill confidence during those challenging first few months building Mum’s strength both physically and mentally. One-to-one coaching ensures all exercises are done safely and effectively by targeting the correct areas – having Mum back to herself in no time.

Pilates

Postnatal Pilates for Mums with Babies – afternoon classes

In the first class of the Beginners course we go through in detail how your body has changed through pregnancy and how we will work to develop core strength and good posture. Your baby comes along and lies with you on the floor, or in their buggy if you wish (buggies are allowed in the room at the Eric Liddell Centre). It is a relaxed class where your baby takes priority; you can feed, change nappies or walk around and observe the class if they need your full attention.

Postnatal Pilates – evening classes

Classes start a little later than usual at 8.30pm, to allow Mums a little extra time after putting the baby down and Dad’s/partners take over
