If you would like to start attending classes at the studio once pregnant, we would advise contacting us for advice or booking one of our prenatal classes. It is not advisable to book a regular L1 – L4 class without previous Pilates or Yoga experience. If in doubt, contact us for advice before booking.

Pregnancy and Post natal massage

Pre natal massage. pre natal massage is specifically tailored to provide relaxation, space and connection between mother and baby. It is beneficial to relieve aches and pains that are specific to pregnancy, as your body changes and grows to accommodate your baby.

Post natal massage. With a new baby to care for and nurture it can be hard to find some previous time to yourself, but keeping yourself healthy and happy is even more important now. As a new mum, your focus and energy is mainly all on your baby . Taking an hour or 90 minutes out to consider and focus in on your needs both physically and mentally can be restorative and much needed time out for yourself.

Massage can be book with Clare via the Ayurvedic Massage page on the website.

My sessions with Clare have made me feel more positive about my body again. Clare paid attention to every single detail to help with all my particular issues (back, stomach muscle separation and pelvic instability after pregnancy). I started to see improvements after just a couple of sessions.
