Pregnancy Exercise Class in Brisbane?

[joey123]

I'm 7 weeks and I am wanting to join an exercise class. I walk 30 mins a day, but I want something that will specifically help me with pregnancy / labour. I know I can get a DVD, but I'd like to socialise a bit.

Does anyone know of anywhere in Brisbane? I'm at Hamilton (north side).

Thanks

I've been going to a fabulous pilates class specifically for preg women - there are also low impact aerobics classes too. The lady who runs them is also a physio so she knows what she's on about if you google beinblossom you should find her.

Does your hospital run classes? I know my local hospital runs pg exercise classes once a week. And they are free, but you have to book in. (But I'm in Syd - don't know about Brissy hospitals.)

i go to be in blossom too its at mcdowall and i think some at chermside.
there is pregnastics (which is the same as the be in blossom low impact aerobics class) which is at the Royal Womens.
there is also yogababy for yoga
or you can do water aerobics at the local pool

I did yoga with my DS, with Jane Campbell-Kaye at Active Birth Yoga - She is FANTASTIC, I could not recommend the classes more. I did book into Yoga baby but never made it to their classes. You can check both out on the web, highly recommend Jane though.

Joey I would love to do a class with you was going to ask you at the next meet up shy to do one on my own OB recommends in Blossom the are $15 in McDowall so near us I have to wait till 20 weeks though as I have only just been able to do the walk for 15 min 3 times a week for the last 2 weeks

[joey123]

Nelly - Good one. Keep an eye on this thread and we'll let you know when we start.

[tiggerlinda]

Nelly good to have you on board

[Heaven]

Nelly- where'd you go on the south side last time??
I'm on the south side and I can't find a pregnancy yoga or pilates place Looked at yoga baby which looks great but it a bit exxy and not very flexible (you have to book a heap of classes in advance)

Mater private runs pg fitness classes and are run the hospital physio they are really really nice. Also you can claim on your private health bcos is run by a physio they were $50 for 5 classes prepaid or $15 per class. May have changes in the past few years.
Also there was a place at Toowong I used to go to Yogababy - was at Tarragindi so Toowong was only a 10 mins drive. Yogababy also does classes at Annerley. I also saw a physio at Carina who specialised in pregnancy bcos I was hip flex issues.

the be in blossom classes are on tuesday and thursday nights aerobics is 6-7 and pilates/stretch is 7-8. if you are in a private health you can get a reciept off her and claim some money back too. i get 10 bucks back so the class costs 5 bucks for me. :-) you'll have to give her a call to cause she has a few screening questions to ask you before your first time.
