PILATES AFTER GIVING BIRTH

After your pregnancy and childbirth, Pilates is a good method to rebuild your stability and strength in a responsible way.

For this postnatal period there is the Care For Your Core Class. Care for your Core Pilates is a class that is very suitable as a postnatal Pilates class. The feeling for your own body has changed greatly after the birth of a child. Muscles that were easy to control before pregnancy seem to have disappeared after delivery. It takes attention and patience to regain the necessary control and awareness of these muscles. In class, much attention is paid to breathing, deep abdominal and back muscles and pelvic stability.

This class is also suitable if you gave birth a little longer ago and you have resumed your regular training, but you notice that the control over your “core”, including your deep abs and pelvic floor muscles, is not yet optimal and / or when you have pain complaints around the pelvis.

In addition to the Care for Your Core class, there is the Mama & Baby Class. This class is the same as the Care For You Core lesson, but your baby is very welcome in the studio. There is limited space for prams in the studio. Therefore, preferably take your child with you in a baby carrier or Maxi Cosi. Thank you!

In all cases, keep the following basic guidelines in mind:

• Listen carefully to your recovering body.

• Take into account a longer recovery time after a difficult delivery or caesarean section.

• Drink enough water before, during and after training. Especially if you train in combination with breastfeeding.

• Have a healthy snack before and after training.

• Don’t exhaust yourself during training.

See you in the studio!
