"Perfect way to start exercise after giving birth, especially to help being aware of what has happened to my stomach muscles and how to regain strength and balance. I'd highly recommend this to anyone who has given birth!"

When to start

There's no prize for rushing back.

Vaginal delivery

Wait 6 weeks

Six weeks after birth is the usual starting point, once you've had your postnatal check.

C-section

Wait 12 weeks

Twelve weeks gives your scar and abdominal wall the healing time they genuinely need.

If there were any complications with your birth, please get clearance from your GP or midwife before you start.

What we work on

Four things, done properly.

Postnatal pelvic floor and core restoration guidance
Safe postnatal exercise progression guide

Pelvic floor restoration

Proper, well-cued pelvic floor work, the foundation everything else is built on. No guessing whether you're doing it right.

Core rehabilitation

Safe reconnection of your deep abdominals, with Diastasis Recti in mind. Absolutely no crunches or sit-ups.

Posture & upper body

Undoing the rounded shoulders and stiff neck that come with feeding, carrying and the endless car seat.

Energy & stamina

Gentle conditioning that gives you back a bit of the stamina those broken nights have taken.

Nicola
"I felt so welcomed from the very first session. Emma made sure every exercise was right for where I was in my recovery. By week four I was sleeping better and felt so much stronger."
Sarah M.
"Having my baby with me made all the difference. No stressing about childcare - I could just focus on looking after myself for an hour. It was exactly what I needed."
Jess

Postnatal questions, answered gently.

No. Most mums on the course have never done Pilates before. Everything is taught from scratch, slowly, with plenty of explanation.
