Pregnancy Barre

WHAT IS PREGNANCY BARRE? Pregnancy Barre is a low-impact, moderate-intensity exercise class that empowers expectant mums by allowing them to safely and effectively stay in shape. Classes are made up of a series of standing-based workouts with small isolated movements that help develop muscle tone. A standard class includes exercises that incorporate a ballerina barre for balance, a set of light weights, a small inflated ball, and resistance bands. ​ THE BEAUTY OF BARRE FOR PREGNANT WOMEN ​ Whatever activity you choose, staying active during pregnancy can help you physically prepare for labour and delivery, and shorten your postnatal recovery time. Barre is an excellent exercise for pregnant women during any trimester, as it helps maintain muscle strength without putting extra strain on joints. ​ IS PREGNANCY BARRE RIGHT FOR ME? ​ Do you enjoy being in a small class (maximum of 8 participants) with varied sessions and an experienced instructor? Are you interested in low-impact, moderate-intensity exercises to help keep fit, healthy and energised during pregnancy? If you answered yes to the above, Pregnancy Barre might be the right fit for you. ​ ONCE BABY ARRIVES ​ When you’re ready, join us again for Baby Barre!
