Reconnect, Realign and Rebuild with Postnatal Pilates
Are you a new mum looking to recover after birth and rebuild your strength?
My Postnatal Pilates classes in Petts Wood and Orpington are specifically designed to support you through your recovery journey. Whether you’ve had a natural birth or a c-section, Pilates will help you regain your strength, improve your posture, and restore balance to your body.
The classes are small, friendly and totally centred around you. Babies up to 12 months (ideally pre-crawling) are more than welcome too as I fully appreciated how difficult it is to organise childcare and have time for you!
Here are some of the ways that these classes can benefit you:
🌸 Strengthening Your Core: After pregnancy and childbirth, your core needs time and attention to rebuild. These classes offer gentle yet effective exercises to strengthen your abdominal muscles and restore core stability, which helps with posture and overall strength.
🌸 Pelvic Floor Health: Your pelvic floor has gone through a lot during pregnancy and birth. Pilates exercises will focus on strengthening and restoring the pelvic floor, supporting your daily activities, and improving your overall confidence.
🌸 Healing Diastasis Recti: Diastasis recti, or abdominal separation, is common after pregnancy. My classes focus on safe exercises to heal this separation, helping you regain tone and strength in your abdominal area.
🌸 Postural Realignment: Pregnancy often shifts your posture, which can lead to discomfort or pain. I’ll guide you in realigning your body, releasing tension, and promoting better posture, so you feel more balanced and comfortable in your body again.
🌸 Gentle and Progressive Approach: You’ll be guided through a carefully structured, progressive series of exercises that are suitable for your postnatal stage. Whether you're 6 weeks postpartum after a natural birth or 10 weeks after a c-section, these classes are designed with your healing in mind.
🌸 Small, Relaxed, and Friendly Classes: With small class sizes, you’ll enjoy a more personal and relaxed experience, where you can focus on your needs and progress at your own pace.
🌸 Connect other lovely Mums: These classes give you a wonderful opportunity to meet other Mums in the local area.
Why choose my Postnatal Pilates classes?
As a qualified Body Control Pilates teacher and Pre & Postnatal Pilates instructor, I have a deep understanding of what your body needs after birth. My classes are designed not only to rebuild your strength but to improve your overall well-being, helping you feel stronger, more confident, and ready for the next chapter of motherhood.
On a personal level I am also a Mum of three kids and Pilates has been so pivotal in supporting my recovery after each pregnancy, particularly after emergency c-sections and Diastasis Recti. I am so incredibly passionate about helping women to recover and rebuild their strength, and it is a real privilege to support Mums during such a transitional stage in their life.
