Mum & Baby Postnatal Pilates

Postnatal Pilates is the perfect post-pregnancy exercise as it helps regain strength, posture, & pelvic floor awareness and to reconnect with your body after giving birth. You can bring your baby along if you like (but not obligated to) so no need to worry about childcare. A very relaxed atmosphere so you can tend to your baby as needed.

There are many benefits to doing Pilates in the postnatal period:

• It could aid the recovery of Diastasis recti (though an individual assessment by a women's health physio is advised:
• A great way to return to exercise in a way that is friendly to the postnatal body & a great starting point before getting back into higher impact movements such as running:
• A mindful way to move your body:
• Utilising breath work to connect with the core & pelvic floor muscles:
• Strengthening the core & smaller stabilising muscles that support the spine, pelvic and hip:
• Enhanced awareness of your posture and back muscles:
• Meet new mums in the area and have an hour to yourself.

You can attend 6-10 weeks post delivery and only if you have been cleared to return to exercise by your healthcare provider. If you had a cesarean section, you may have to wait up to 12 weeks post-birth before you can return to exercise. In any case, please chat with your healthcare provider and ask them to approve you for exercise before attending a class.

Please don't be too worried if you think your baby might be unsettled, or chatty during class, it will not bother me and it won't bother those around you, everyone will have a baby there. You can tend to your baby as and when you need, Conifox is a very parent-friendly venue with a parenting room for changing. Please get in touch with any questions.

You are welcome to join the block mid-way through if there is space. Classes are usually organised in 6-week blocks with PAYG available if space permits.
