This is our Postnatal Pilates class which you can begin from 6 weeks postpartum if you had a straightforward vaginal delivery or 8 weeks after a C-section or assisted vaginal delivery (with any complications)
The class is designed to help heal and strengthen muscles affected after pregnancy and delivery such as your pelvic floor and abdominals.
Lockdown has made many things more challenging, none more so than giving birth. Here I spoke to one mum who had been attending our Antenatal Clinical Pilates classes up until the country shut down on the brink of a global pandemic.
Running after having a baby is the obvious choice for many new mums wanting to begin or return to exercise. There are however some important things to consider in order to safely return to running and any other high impact exercise after having your baby. Returning too soon can cause long term implications including pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic girdle pain and other musculoskeletal issues. This guide outlines the impact pregnancy and birth has on your body and important healing time-frames you must be aware of before returning to running. You will also find 2 free Pilates strength videos to give you an idea of the kinds of exercise that will help prepare your postnatal body for the demands of running
Returning to exercise after having a baby can be daunting & difficult. It is possible to cause yourself more harm than good if you return too soon or to the wrong type of exercise. This blog looks at the evidence and guidelines for returning safely to post-natal exercise and the specific benefits of Post-natal Pilates in restoring your Pelvic Floor muscle function, reducing Diastasis Recti and rebuilding your core strength and function. A FREE 30 minute Post-natal Pilates class is linked for you to try.
