Pilates for dancers
Pilates is integral to dance training and rehabilitation. Many exercises, originally developed by Joseph Pilates for dancers, enhance performance and aid recovery. With Theresa’s background as a professional dancer, she offers specialized support to dancers in the studio.
Pilates and pregnancy
Pilates is a safe and beneficial way to exercise during pregnancy. Theresa is a certified ante-and post natal Pilates teacher and is passionate about keeping women as strong and healthy as possible during their pregnancies.
Back and pelvic problems are more likely to occur during this time due to the postural, hormonal and biomechanical changes that take place.
Many mat based exercises are not appropriate during the mid and latter stages of pregnancy so it is recommended that you attend studio classes instead, where the exercises can be hand-picked to suit. There is normally a strong focus on pelvic floor contraction and release, gentle core and postural work, in addition to shoulder and upper back loosening exercise.
Pilates following childbirth
Pilates is an excellent way to help gently return your body to its pre-pregnancy state. Both the mat and studio classes will be appropriate for you if strengthening and postural work is your main requirement. If you have diastasis recti (abdominal separation) or SPD the studio classes would be more suitable initially.
Theresa recommends that if you have any concerns you attend an initial consultation with her before attending a class so that she can assess your specific needs and make recommendations on home exercises or modifications within the class.
