Pilates for New Mums

4 week program
All levels

This postpartum program is designed for new mums recovering from the birth of their baby. It is recommended that members commence this program 6 weeks post delivery (uncomplicated vaginal birth) or 8 -12 weeks post delivery (cesarean or complicated birth).

Shani Clark, women’s health Physiotherapist, pregnancy and postpartum Reformer Pilates specialist has designed a 4 week program which can be repeated as many times as members feel necessary to improve their strength, flexibility, balance and fitness. The goal is to improve all components of fitness and help your body recover and return to your pre pre pregnancy levels and beyond. This program will help build confidence and provide some much needed self care and ‘time out’.

** Reformer Pilates is a safe and effective and recommended form of exercise for pre and post pregnant participants, however it is always important to check with your doctor to ensure there are no contraindications specific to your situation.
