The Postpartum Class
An 8 week course supporting women to understand their postpartum body, get strong for mum life, return safely to the exercise they love, while chatting to other mums and drinking coffee along the way!
Why is it different to other mum exercise classes?
- It is led by a Pelvic Health Physio so all exercises are safe and specific.
- It is education and exercise to help you understand your body and learn how to work with it after having a baby.
- It addresses the needs of the postpartum body specifically pelvic floor and deep core.
- It is not just about exercise, its about like minded mums working out, having coffee and building friendships.
Details:
- You will need to be a minimum of 6 WEEKS POST BIRTH at the start of the class to attend.
- Classes are 1 hour long, with 45mins of exercise allowing time either side to set up, settle babies etc.
- Babies can lie on the floor with you, or be in a capsule/buggy. At least one of the sessions will involve the frontpack (see session descriptions below).
- You will have access to a Facebook group that gives weekly homework plus a short summary video of the sessions incase you miss one.
