Mum & Baby Pilates Friday 11.35am

Mum & Baby Pilates

Friday 11.35pm – 12.35pm
Christ Church Chislehurst

These small and friendly mum & baby Pilates classes are aimed for mums with babies up to 1 year of age or ideally before the babies are freely crawling. The class is designed to help you regain your strength and fitness post pregnancy, with particular focus on the abdominals and pelvic floor muscles. The classes are kept to small groups of so that you get the most out of the sessions. You will learn how to safely and effectively exercise your core and abdominal muscles, without causing or worsening diastasis, and what to do if you have diastasis or a prolapse. When done correctly, Pilates exercises can help your body effectively recover from the strains and stresses of pregnancy. You will work your entire body in these classes.

This class will enable you to bring your baby whilst you ease yourself back into exercise safely, and surround yourself with a support network of women in the same situation as you.

Course Dates | 24 September, 1, 8, 22, 29 October 2021 *
*Please note that there is no session on October 15th as I am running a corporate wellbeing event.

Investment | £60 per course  (must be booked and paid for in advance please)

What to bring

As this class is at Christ Church and not my home, you will need to bring with you a mat, a strap, a small soft Pilates ball and a block. All equipment can be purchased from my on-line shop. https://elizabethnadine.com/shop/ Please bring what you need for your baby such as any feeds, a pacifier if used and a blanket/mat to put them on next to you when they are not being carried.  The exercises are best done in bare feet and wearing comfortable clothing such as  leggings and a top or t-shirt.
