Post-Natal Pilates



These classes are designed for women after giving birth.

It is recommended to start pilates six weeks after a natural delivery or twelve weeks after a C-Section. 

Post Natal pilates is perfect for helping new mothers through the process of reclaiming their pre-pregnancy body.

Benefits Include:

  •   Draws your abdominals (specifically your transverse abdominis) back together after being stretched for 9 months during pregnancy – also great for strengthening.
  • Strengthens your upper back and opens your chest, which can get tired from carrying and/or nursing your little one.
  • Strengthens your inner and outer hips to help support your pelvis after it was stretched and relaxed from all the hormones running through your body.
  • Encourages proper, slow, yet precise, strengthening of your abdominals, hips and back, which helps relieve lower back and pelvic floor discomfort from pregnancy.
  • Stretches tight muscles that haven’t been used in a long time.
  • Can help repair diastasis recti, which is a split down the centre of your abs (a common mistake is doing sit ups and planks right after you have a baby).
  • Gives you some well-deserved ME time.

Welcome

Before you join me, you need to have had your 12 week scan and get your midwives/consultant's approval that you can exercise (it is very unlikely that they will say no) 

The classes are strictly limited to a maximum of six. This ensures plenty of time for individual attention.
