Labour Loot Aquanatal® classes

Labour Loot Aquanatal® exercise classes will launch on the Northern Beaches in August 2024!

Labour Loot Aquanatal® classes are specifically designed for women during pregnancy and after birth. Run by Clare, an experienced Midwife, mum and qualified Aquanatal® instructor, the 55-minute low-impact classes take place in a heated swimming pool in Brookvale (Northern Beaches, Sydney). Classes focus on cardio, strengthening, core, balance, pelvic floor, relaxation, birth preparation – as well as a good dose of fun!

Aquanatal® classes are a safe way to exercise and prepare yourself for the birth of your baby, regain strength and fitness after birth

Classes begin with a warm-up to loosen muscles and avoid strains, followed by a cardio section, resistance exercises and pelvic floor exercises. The buoyancy of the water enables you to participate in the class at your preferred intensity without overloading, straining or jarring your joints. You will be encouraged to work at your own pace; whether that be a full work out or a gentle fitness session. We use a variety of floats and noodles and all the equipment you need is provided.

You will also benefit from a mix of birth preparation exercises, active birth tips, breathing and relaxation. Many of these topics are also beneficial if you are planning a caesarean section birth. You will meet other expectant mums from the local area and Clare can answer any questions you may have.
