Centred Pilates Ante and Postnatal Classes

Starting or continuing Pilates during pregnancy allows the changing body to remain strong and flexible, preparing the mother for birth and for faster recovery post delivery. Classes will bring you relief, and ease off potential pain you may be experiencing as a result of the growing baby within you. Breathing exercises and the deep focus into the body allow your mind to relax and you will feel refreshed after each session. Additionally it can be difficult for women to find confidence to exercise during pregnancy correctly and / or to return to their fitness post birth.

Safe and guided exercise to rehabilitate the effects of pregnancy and birth are unfortunately still a lacking field in New Zealand. Katrin has done extensive research in the field of women’s health, particularly the effects of pregnancy, diastasis recti (abdominal separation) and pelvic floor dysfunction. All information discussed with clients will be strictly confidential. Katrin is a mother of two and knows how difficult it can be to dedicate time to ones own recovery with a newborn baby and the ever changing schedule that it brings with it. Mothers often feel guilty to create time and space for their own wellbeing and needs. However, recharging batteries is a fundamental need and healing from birth is an important factor in overall wellbeing and energy levels.

Creating this space for other women and allowing them to recharge their batteries to tackle the demands of motherhood is a key motivator in her work. Her own birthing experience and sustained injuries during birth, her own recovery process and professional background make Katrin a great teacher to address these sensitive issues with her clients and guide them in their recovery.

Centred Studios Studio Equipment Classes

Studio Equipment Group Classes are designed for clients who want to work independently on all five Pilates equipment with an individualised program while under supervision. Clients will have to have booked five private sessions to be taught two to three different exercises on each piece of equipment by their Pilates instructor.
