Participating in Aquanatal classes. I saw firsthand the positive impact it had on their physical and mental wellbeing.
At Sydney Aquanatal Mascot, our goal is to provide expectant and new mums in the Mascot area with a safe and enjoyable exercise programme specifically tailored for pregnancy and postnatal recovery. All of our Aquanatal instructors are experienced midwives who have undergone specialised training in Aquanatal.
Our classes offer a variety of exercises that aim to improve cardiovascular fitness, strengthen the core and balance, and promote relaxation and birth preparation. We also emphasise the importance of pelvic floor exercises and provide education on pregnancy and postnatal health. Every class is conducted in the water, which provides a supportive and weightless environment for exercising and relaxing.
One of the key benefits of Aquanatal is that it reduces and prevents lower back pain, a common discomfort during pregnancy. Research has shown that Aquanatal exercise is more effective in relieving lower back pain compared to land-based exercise. Additionally, Aquanatal promotes positive body awareness and prepares women for childbirth, helping to reduce the symptoms of antenatal and postnatal depression.
In addition to the physical benefits, Sydney Aquanatal Mascot also offers a supportive and social environment. Our classes are small, with a maximum of 12 participants, allowing for personalised attention and adjustments to suit individual needs. Being part of our Aquanatal community provides expectant and new mums with a valuable support network and an opportunity to connect with others going through the same journey.
We offer classes at various venues in Sydney and bookings are essential as spaces are limited. You can join our classes at any stage during your pregnancy, starting from 12 weeks, and resume six weeks after giving birth. Our website provides detailed information on class times, venues, and how to book.
We are committed to providing reliable and evidence-based information. However, we always recommend consulting with your healthcare professional before starting any exercise programme or making changes to your routine.
At Sydney Aquanatal Mascot, we are passionate about supporting women throughout their pregnancy and postnatal journey. We believe that Aquanatal is a fun and effective way to stay fit and prepare both your body and mind for the birth of your baby. Join our Aquanatal classes today and experience the benefits for yourself.
