ESSENTIAL 3 | POST-NATAL PILATES
POST-NATAL | YOGA + PILATES • 34m
Level 1
A gentle way to re-connect, repair and strengthen the body. There will be a focus on deep abdominal activation and stability through breathing and exercises, gently bringing focus and awareness to the lower abdominal muscles. Focus is also given to pelvic floor activation and repair. Expect a steady, encouraging class working with alignment cues throughout to regain abdominal connection, move, strengthen and mobilise the full body to leave you feeling strengthened, open and energised in the body and mind.
We recommend completing the Essential classes before progressing onto the Activating sessions by following our specially designed programmes for each stage of recovery, which can be found on our website and on your welcome newsletter.
Equipment: Theraband or a pair of tights / leggings
