- Are you overwhelmed by which postnatal pilates exercises are best for you and when you should start them?
- Keen to retrain your abdominals without creating a pot-belly or putting too much pressure on your pelvic floor?
- Do you want guidance to know when to progress on to more challenging exercises?
I have developed a complete sequence of progressing postnatal Pilates classes for you to do at home. They are hosted on BEAM, an online platform specialising in providing on demand and live exercise to mums.
You can start right from the early days of coming home from hospital – getting confident moving safely even while you have sore & delicate bits. The videos then follow a progressive order to lead you back to being ready to run or take part in a mainstream fitness class.
In 25 minute Pilates sessions I will guide you through what to do and when. I will even tell you when to breathe – no thinking required!
The videos show all the exercises which a physiotherapist would want to teach you in a clinic to help you restore your postnatal body and thrive as a new mother.
We use my favorite Pilates exercises to focus on your posture, core & pelvic floor. There are mobility sequences too – to stretch out your back, ease the aches & pains that come from a new life of feeding and carrying.
If you have just had your baby or are brand new to exercise start with Birth to 6 weeks (or Caesarean to 6 weeks) for a selection of safe pelvic floor and core friendly sequences. Feel good and thrive from the earliest days.
Strengthen the Pelvic Floor is a stand alone sequence with every exercise cued to specially focus on making sure you integrate pelvic floor.
Essential practice if you had a tear or cut, have any hint of bladder or bowel leakage, are stuggling to get to the toilet on time, or feeling discomfort from pelvic organ prolapse.
- Mind the Gap I & Mind the Gap II for non-crunch abs work. No training pot bellies or straining against vulnerable pelvic floors here! Fabulous modern abdominal training techniques.
- Galvanising Gluts will perk up your buttocks and give you power for climbing stairs and getting up off the floor holding a baby!
- Pre-running Prep a 10 minute prep of pelvic floor and core BEFORE you take that wonderful run by yourself to get some fresh air & exercise
Stretch and Relax is just 10 minutes. A sequence to wind down and be mindful. Try it before feeding, in the middle of the night or to help get a “rest” (if not an actual nap) during the day – it’s for everyone – even partners & toddlers!
