Becoming a mum is both a rewarding and beautiful experience. A new baby brings a transition in your life, which will also bring some challenges to mum and dad’s health and well-being.
The outbursts and the never-ending crying, washing, feeding, rinse and repeat can cause havoc on essential pillars of health. Such as sleep, nutrition, exercise, healthy relationships
This is all part and parcel of being a mum and providing a safe nurturing place for your baby to grow. It’s also essential to maintain a healthy body and mind. We can and should give ourselves the tools to cope during this new chapter of our lives. Pilates and Yoga are both wonderful forms of exercise that support all that your body is going through or has gone through during pregnancy. Of course, with the added benefit of calming the mind.
This was so important for me and still is as a mum of 2 active kids age 4 & 6years. Yoga & Pilates promotes awareness of the mind. Sometimes it can be difficult to have your own thoughts while caring for children, if you don’t make time for you, all your energy goes into constant distraction of running from A to B.
