Post Natal Pilates

The ultimate class for new mums! Ideal way to strengthen core muscles (abdominal and pelvic floor), strengthen back and improve posture.

After giving birth, many women are keen to regain their figure but are often feeling fatigued and weak. These small classes (limited to 5 ladies per class) are ideal to re-train the muscles that have often ‘given up’ during pregnancy and birth. The classes are held weekly over a block of 10 weeks. The classes run on a rolling programme so you can start at any time providing there is space. Alternatively you can pay as pay as you go.

During this time you will learn to activate the all important core muscles, learn relaxation techniques and meet new mums. Pilates is not cardiovascular and should also be accompanied by low-level aerobic exercise such as buggy walking.

NOTE: YOU MUST BE 6 WEEKS POST DELIVERY TO START OR 8 WEEKS POST CAESAREAN AND HAVE HAD YOUR CHECK BY YOUR GP
