What to expect

You will work hard in these classes but always at the right level for you. These classes are also about having fun and socialising with other mums in a supportive environment. Some weeks will look different to others and some might be noisier than others!

You are welcome to feed, change or comfort your baby during the class, we are very relaxed and understand that each week may look different based on the babies needs.

Babies should not be involved in any of the exercises

You do not need experience of Pilates! All the exercises are suitable for the postnatal period whether you had a natural birth or a c-section. You will need medical clearance prior to joining.

You will need to bring a mat, water bottle as well as a blanket/car seat (or something for your baby to lie on) and some toys for your baby. I will provide the small equipment needed in class.

Tea, coffee, cake and socialising on the last class of each block!
