Postnatal Pilates Exercises for new mums

July 28, 2020

As a Pilates and fitness instructor, I thought I would smash my postnatal recovery. I had grand delusions of myself being back to my old workouts as soon as I gave birth. Almost two years after having my first baby, I still laugh at this! Postpartum is a marathon, not a sprint. I completely credit my postnatal recovery to Pilates and to very, very simple exercises.

After going through this journey myself, I added more Mums n Bubs Postnatal Friendly Pilates classes to our studio timetables. I realised how important it was for new mums to do Pilates and to do something for themselves and for their bodies. To learn all about our Mums n Bubs studio classes, click here. Or, if you just can't get out of the house with your newborn, we have a vast library of postnatal workouts available in our Online Membership.

A friendly reminder to always speak with your doctor before commencing postnatal exercise.

Safe postnatal exercises

I'm sharing a few of my favourite core and arm exercises in the videos below; enjoy! They look simple, but they are anything but! They focus on the pelvic floor deeply and on breathing.

These videos are a sneak peak of some of the exercises a postnatal client would be given in one of our Mums n Bubs classes, or through our Online Membership.

We can't wait to see both you and our gorgeous newborn at the studio!
