What to Expect in a Post Natal Pilates Class
New mums taking part in post-natalPilates classes should expect a gentle reintroduction to exercise. You will learn basic core stability exercises which directly target the area affected during pregnancy. The Pilates exercises are mat based with the use of small equipment, all taught by a highly experienced specialist physiotherapist trained in Pilates.
