• Strengthens the arms and wrists
• Tones the abdomen

The completed form of Chaturanga Dandasana is quite difficult to perform at first, until your arms, back, and legs are strong enough to support you. From Plank Pose, begin by lowering your knees to the floor and then, with an exhalation, lower your sternum to within an inch or two above the floor.

Step by Step

Perform Adho Mukha Svanasana, then Plank Pose. Firm your shoulder blades against your back ribs and press your tailbone toward your pubis.

With an exhalation slowly lower your torso and legs to a few inches above and parallel to the floor. There’s a tendency in this pose for the lower back to sway toward the floor and the tailbone to poke up toward the ceiling. Throughout your stay in this position, keep the tailbone firmly in place and the legs very active and turned slightly inward. Draw the pubis toward the navel.

Keep the space between the shoulder blades broad. Don’t let the elbows splay out to the sides; hold them in by the sides of the torso and push them back toward the heels. Press the bases of the index fingers firmly to the floor. Lift the top of the sternum and your head to look forward.

Chaturanga Dandasana is one of the positions in the Sun Salutation sequence. You can also practice this pose individually for anywhere from 10 to 30 seconds. Release with an exhalation. Either lay yourself lightly down onto the floor or push strongly back to Adho Mukha Svanasana, lifting through the top thighs and the tailbone.

Jelly Belly Pilates classes are designed specifically for mums who are 6 weeks or more postcaesarean and are looking to increase core strength and stability, correct posture post pregnancy, improve body shape and muscle tone and as a result lose their jelly belly! It is also a good opportunity to connect with other mums who are going through the same experience.

This class covers the fundamental and basic levels of mat Pilates exercises, where considerations and adaptations are made to cater for the more sensitive tummy area minimising any pain or discomfort. The class also aims to help mums identify their core muscles, create better body awareness and form a good foundation for more intense levels of exercise later on.

Pre-crawling babies are welcome allowing mums to tend to their baby if need be and also for those who do not yet feel ready to separate from their newborn.
