These photos hit the Internet: 32-year-old Svetlana Volkova from Sweden makes dizzying somersaults on a pole, being already deeply pregnant.
Difficult acrobatic exercises such as “lifting an iguana” and “butterfly on a pole”, stretching and twine do not fit too well with a woman in position. But Svetlana in the photo looks just amazingly beautiful and elegant. And she doesn’t seem to be doing all these tricks with difficulty.
“I wanted to show by my own example that pregnancy, with its successful course, is not a reason to stop the usual course of life, sit on the sofa and wait for the onset of childbirth,” says Svetlana. – But, of course, pole sport cannot be recommended for pregnant women if the girl has never done it before (I danced for more than three years before pregnancy), if there are contraindications, etc. Each case is individual, you need to listen to yourself and your body. In my case, there was really more energy and I felt better thanks to the pole exercises. And also, by the way, I went to work until the 9th month! Well, I love my job, but it’s boring to sit at home! “
Now the couple already have two children, the eldest Theo is already three years old, and the youngest Leo recently turned a month. He was born strong, big and healthy.
The active mom is already resuming her workouts – a month has passed, she feels that it is possible! Although so far it has not been possible to devote so much time to sports – after all, there are two kids.
By the way, the coach with whom Svetlana is engaged is not a Swede, but a teacher from her native Krasnodar.
“We made friends with Sveta three years ago, when she was on vacation in Krasnodar,” says coach Victoria Leusenko, teacher at Angel Dance Studio. – She asked to give her some individual lessons. And then we started to conduct online trainings. Sveta is a very talented, diligent, active student, I always use her as an example. Therefore, when she became pregnant with her second child, we did not stop classes. Just from the sixth month we reviewed the program, removed those elements that are inconvenient to do with the tummy. And she did it until the very birth! “
Little Leo is already training with his mother.
I must say that the whole family of Svetlana – her mother, husband, son – is very supportive and proud of such a sports mother.
“My husband bought her a pylon himself and installed it at home, he was in the classroom, he insured, just in case,” continues Victoria. – In Sweden, in general, the passion of pregnant women for this sport does not make any resonance, although I note that the pole school in Russia is stronger. At the same time, many ordinary people still confuse pole-dance with striptease in our country.
But, by the way, now there are other pregnant women among my clients. The girls understand that sports and reasonable physical activity, which the pole gives, are only beneficial. It is easier for our athletes to give birth, they have good health, there are no problems with oxygen, and even after childbirth, the muscles contract 2 times faster, which means. and it’s easier to get back in shape. “
Despite the words that they do not pay much attention to the unusual hobbies of pregnant women in Sweden, Svetlana nevertheless attracted this very attention. Several newspapers have already written about her, including the Daily Mail with its millions of subscribers. We immediately recalled the story about the pregnant twerk. The girl, I remember, was brought up by everyone passing by her page on the social network. Everyone was allegedly very worried about her baby. But in fact, it seems, they simply poured out their ideas about ideal motherhood on the expectant mother (see “mumshaming”).
