These class are designed for mum to help you recover and regain connection with your body post birth. The classes are appropriate for mums who are at a minimum 6 weeks post vaginal birth, or 10-12 weeks post C- section. You will need to be signed off from your medical team for movement before attending.
There will be a focus on pelvic floor and core health alongside releasing areas that may be tight in your body since becoming a mum . We work slowly to build up your core ( and body) strength using mat work and often equipment such as bands and balls.
The class runs in blocks and there is currently a wait list as the class is very popular. Please add your name here if you would like to be added.

These classes are open to all women with (or without) your babies and there is an emphasis on pelvic floor, integrated breathing and core work.
I plan the classes to give you a whole body workout, in the hope you will leave feeling better than when you came in.
The classes are friendly, fun and there are options for different levels. Often we will all go for a coffee after class in one of the cafes in Eddington, so there is very much a supportive community as part of the class too.
Classes need to be paid for in advance but you are welcome to make up the missed session in any of my other classes during the term with 24 hours notice (spaces permitted)
Added extras:
I often do give aways in the class, most recently with pilates socks, Sweaty Betty purses and online memberships.
I also try and bring in some healthier snacks every now and again to refuel all the ladies taking part in the class.
Term dates:
Classes run alongside school term times. They currently run at Storey’s Field Centre, Eddington

Frequently asked questions
- What if I need to feed my baby or my baby cries?
You can attend to your baby as and when you need, please do not worry about your baby making any noise. The class is full of mums who understand and I would rather you came and gained support from us all than not come at all. It might mean occasionally you don’t do all the exercises but you can still listen and focus on your breathing which is a big part of the class. - What is the refund policy?
If you are able to give 24 hours notice you can come to another class of mine within that term as a catch up. - Can I bring a buggy?
Yes there is plenty of room for buggies around the outskirts of the hall so if baby is still asleep you can be on your mat next to the buggy. - Is there parking at the venue?
Yes, there is parking on street but you will need the App Just Park. The first hour is free and then you will need to pay for any additional time. The Madingley park and ride is free with plenty of parking and just a short 5 min walk up the road. - What do I need to bring?
A mat, clothes you can move in, a blanket or baby chair for your little one to be comfortable. - Venue Address & Directions
