Classes for women at the special time of life, so that the body and baby feel comfortable, harmonious and healthy. Special attention is paid to breathing, which, having been learned, will help in childbirth, as well as balance the mind and emotions. Classes help to control weight, maintain well-being throughout the prenatal period.

Classes in the pool provide good physical exertion for the whole organism, increase endurance and help to cope more easily with the load during childbirth. During the classes, no injuries can be suffered, no unnecessary load is created on the joints and ligaments. Water resistance creates an additional load and thus also creates a massage and lymphatic drainage effect.

Exercising in water helps very well to prepare for childbirth, because it trains and stretches all muscle groups. When exercising, you can learn to breathe properly and relax. For a pregnant woman, water classes are the only option to sleep on her stomach, not to feel her weight and relieve her spine - to relax completely. The pool has more opportunities to perform more diverse exercises using various equipment, e.g. noodles, dumbbells, balls, board.

Physical activity during pregnancy reduces fatigue, improves well-being and emotional state. With special exercises it is possible to relieve back pain, heaviness and cramps in the legs, constipation and other problems topical during pregnancy.

The training consists of warm-up, aerobic part, strength and flexibility exercises. Exercises are given both lying on the back and on one side, on the fours and standing on the knees, as well as exercises sitting on large balls. When exercising, attention is paid to proper breathing, during this period of training of the most important muscle groups and comfortable postures. The movements are executed at an average pace, very gently, which contributes to the correct breathing rhythm of the mother-to-be.
