Postnatal Pilates
Here you will find TPP's Postnatal Pilates classes. These are created by Aoife, a Physiotherapist and Pilates instructor of over 10 years. She combines her professional knowledge with her experience as a Mom, to bring you a safe and effective programme to rebuild your strength postpartum.
We recommend starting with our Postnatal Core & Pelvic Floor Recovery Programme. You can begin this as early as a few days postpartum if you feel up to it. The movement is extremely gentle and is focused on your breath and activating your core and pelvic floor muscles. Think of it as rehab based rather than exercise based, but this will give you a really important foundation for when you return to "exercise".
Once you have completed this programme, we recommend moving onto the Postnatal Sculpt Programme for more of a challenge, provided you feel ready for more of a challenge.
If you need guidance along the way or even advice on where to go once you have completed these programmes, please email Aoife at [email protected].
Finally, every pregnancy and birth is different so we recommend checking with your GP or Consultant to ensure they are happy for you to return to exercise.
Once you begin the classes, go at a pace you're comfortable with and most importantly, enjoy the classes.
