Keep fit, feel better and make new friends at Blooming Babies Aquanatal – dedicated aqua-fitness classes designed especially for pregnant women and new mums returning to exercise following the birth of your baby.
Pregnancy Aqua is safe, fun and relaxing, it will help to prepare your body for childbirth, whilst boosting your wellbeing and alleviating stress.
Postnatal Aqua combines strengthening and stretching exercises and relaxation techniques, providing a full body workout. Both classes are suitable for non-swimmers.
Aquanatal utilises exercise in water to take the pressure off your limbs, providing welcome relief from the weight of pregnancy! Postnatally the water cushions your joints so you can exercise safely and comfortably.
It’s also a great opportunity to get advice, support and information from a registered midwife, whilst sharing your experiences with other mums.
