Baby & me
Baby + Me Yoga/Pilates classes are a great opportunity to enjoy a full postnatal practice whilst enjoying the company of your little one.
These classes are designed to strengthen, tone and rehabilitate the postpartum body and although they are designed to be challenging, our postnatal teacher will offer diverse options for students so that your practice is suitable for your level in this moment.
Whether you are new to Yoga/Pilates/Fitness, recently delivered your baby or are an avid sports practitioner, this focused and specialised class will be suitable for all levels, body types and experiences.
Baby + Me classes are a great option if you would like to get some core strengthening benefits in a safe, fluid and fun class. It’s a great practice for toning and lengthening the muscles, working on the posture and particularly for strengthening the core in a safe way.
Your little one will be engaged and interacted with; he/she will enjoy playing with toys, napping and observing you in your practice. Babies and crawlers are welcome to join mamas in their practice.
Important: please bring a large towel/blanket & your little ones favourite toys.

Faqs
How many times per week should I come to class?
There is no recommendation for the number of times per week you should/could practice. Every woman is different and so we encourage you to check in with yourself on a daily basis to see what you instinctively need and want.
When can I start practicing during Pregnancy?
Prenatal students are traditionally recommended to begin exercise after 12 weeks of pregnancy. We do recommend taking it easy in the first stage as baby is still embedding and your energy levels may be low and new hormones may be high.
However, we do take the approach that every woman is different. If you were exercising a lot before getting pregnant then you may find it better to continue some form of movement; this would then be a safer option than returning to your HIIT, Core or Circuits class. We encourage you to make your own decision based on your energy levels, previous exercise habits and the present health of yourself and your baby.
When can I start practicing after giving birth?
Postnatal students are traditionally recommended to begin exercise after 6 weeks post birth – however, every woman is different so we encourage you to make your own decision as to when to start practicing after delivery.
Do I need to check with my doctor first?
We do recommend that if you experienced any complications before, during or after birth (or had a Caesarean Birth) that you consult with your doctor before beginning to exercise. As with all health-related situations, if you have any doubts or questions – please do see your doctor as we cannot medically advise you.
What do I need to tell the teacher before class?
Please do notify the teacher of any illness, injuries or ailments {aches, pains, nausea, dizziness, etc.} prior to class. This allows us to better support you throughout the class.
Should I eat before class?
Try to eat something small an 1.5 – 2 hours before class to stabilise your energy + blood sugar levels. If you suffer with low blood sugar or blood pressure, please do notify your teacher at the beginning of class.
What should I bring to class?
We recommend bringing something warm to wear for the relaxation, such as cosy socks and a jumper. However, we do ask you to stay barefooted for the actual practice. Please wear comfy, stretchy clothing that you would normally workout in.
What time should I arrive?
Arrive in good time to relax for a few moments before beginning the class. We usually encourage 10-15 minutes prior to the class start time so that you can meet other mamas and enjoy a tea.
Can I access the studios with a stroller?
Both of our studios are located on the ground floor + your baby’s stroller can be parked right inside. Bring everything you need for your baby as we have plenty of pace both within the lounge area + within the practice room, where we do our classes.
What if my baby starts crying during class? Or if he/she needs to be changed or fed?
In this warm + friendly environment, you will meet other mums on their postnatal journeys + hopefully forge new bonds. Being surrounded by other new mums, you needn’t worry if you need to stop to feed, change or comfort your baby during the class.
