Post Natal Pilates

Pilates is an excellent form of exercise for post natal women, mainly because it helps tone the abdominals

Though we can't all look like Madonna a few months after childbirth, exercise can help to tone up the stretched muscles, promote good circulation and help with posture. Pilates can help post natal women to:

Strengthen the back

Improve posture

Strengthen the pelvic floor muscles

De-stress and relax after hard day

The Pelvic Floor Muscle

Weakening of the pelvic floor muscle is common after childbirth.  The pelvic floor is not actually a 'floor' it is a hammock shaped muscle which supports your bladder and bowel.  For most people the pelvic floor muscle can be strengthened through exercise. 

NEW class

Bring you baby along! This is a gentle class and a great way to safely re-introduce exercise back into your life post birth, and is a great way to make new mum and baby friends. 

Classes are also focussed on teaching practical ways to carry and pick up your baby safely minimising the risk of back, joint or muscle injury. 

You must have had your six-week post natal check or 10 week check if necessary.

The first 6 week course starts on
