POSTNATAL PILATES · JERVIS BAY
From birth
back to exercise,
one step at a time.
Led by a physiotherapist, this five-week program is your stepping stone from birth back to exercise. Build the foundations in your abdominals and pelvic floor, with your baby right there with you.
Our postnatal Pilates classes are physiotherapist-led and shaped by current research, not a generic timeline,
Who it's for?
This class is for you if…
You’re keen to get moving again and would like some guidance along the way
You have pelvic floor symptoms, such as leaking or heaviness, or an abdominal separation, and would like a physio in the room
You’d love to get out of the house and meet other mums
You’d like a stepping stone back into our Postnatal Reformer classes or your regular exercise routine
Vaginal birth or caesarean, first baby or third, you'll start from where your body is, not where a generic timeline says it should be.
We created this class to bridge the gap between your postnatal assessment and the exercise you love, with a physio there to guide you. Leaking, heaviness and abdominal separation are common after birth, but they're not something you have to live with.
A physio guiding every class, so your exercises match what your assessment found
Strength you'll use every day, for lifting, carrying and getting through the day, built on Pilates equipment and weights
A clear way back to the exercise you love, progressed when your body's ready, not before
Your baby, right there with you, so you don't have to choose between your recovery and your baby
You'll leave each class knowing what you worked on and why, so you can move with confidence outside the studio too.
Why we run Postnatal Foundations
Where it fits in your recovery
One pathway, from your first weeks onwards
Telehealth check-in at two weeks. A 30-minute call with a physio to answer early questions and plan what comes next (optional).
Postnatal assessment at six weeks. A thorough in-person assessment of your pelvic floor, abdominal wall and overall recovery, including your scar if you had a caesarean.
Postnatal Foundations. Physio-led classes that put your assessment findings into practice.
Postnatal Reformer. When you're ready, you move up to our instructor-led reformer class, with the same team behind you.
The team shares what they know about your recovery, so you're not starting from scratch at each step.
