Postnatal Pilates

Postnatal yoga and Postnatal Pilates classes allows you to work on the mobility of areas of the body made rigid during pregnancy.

A class tailored to young mothers

Classes focus on perineal work, abdominal strengthening, posture work and discomfort relief. In postnatal yoga and pilates, work on breathing, stretching and flexibility of legs, back and neck.

Come with your baby to share this moment of relaxation. The rhythm of the session respects the care and needs of the baby. Baby’s presence is not compulsory. You can take part in classes from the 2nd or 3rd month (in the case of Caesarean section), and after delivery up to 12 months.

The benefits of postnatals classes

The benefits of postnatals classes

Increase strength and flexibility

The posture sequences are adapted for new mothers. This class is ideal if you want to increase your strength and flexibility to better cope with the change in your body after pregnancy, without the presence of intensity.

Tone muscles, especially the back

With the weight of the baby, the mother-to-be accentuates the arching of her back, often causing pain. Postures help to create space between the vertebrae and release tension in the back.

Creating a strong bond with baby

After a class, the moment of relaxation is ideal for communicating with your baby. It's a special moment for both of you.
