At KX Pilates, we are here to support your return to movement in a way that feels good for you. We are able to welcome you into classes if you gave birth at least six weeks ago and have clearance to exercise from your healthcare provider. Returning to exercise post-birth is safe and beneficial for your recovery, and our classes offer safe and supportive options to help you rebuild strength and fitness.

It is normal to experience Diastasis Rectus Abdominis Muscle (DRAM) separation. Our Trainers will offer various abdominal and core options. Notice how you are feeling (taking note of any doming/coning, or pain/discomfort) and select options which feel appropriate for you. If you are unsure or would like further guidance, we recommend seeing a women's health physiotherapist.
You can generally commence pelvic floor muscle training soon after having a baby. Moving is beneficial for rebuilding your pelvic floor. Please note that our classes are not able to provide tailored rehabilitation or management. If you'd like more support, we recommend seeing a women’s health physiotherapist.
Growing and birthing babies is a huge job, and the postpartum period is a beautiful but challenging time! Don’t put any pressure on yourself to be moving in a particular way. Do what feels supportive of your physical and mental health, and know that however you are feeling on any given day is ok.
Remember to update your Trainer/s or local studio with any changes, questions or concerns so that we can best support you.
Sometimes getting out of the house is tricky! If you're wanting to move but not able to make it into studio right now, this gentle, 30 minute mat flow for you.
As always, listen to your body, do what feels right for you, and always check with your healthcare provider before starting exercise.
Please Note
KX Pilates offers general fitness classes, and while exercise is safe and helpful in your postpartum recovery, they are not specific rehabilitative classes or a replacement for individualised treatment.
Seeing a specialised healthcare practitioner such as a women’s health physiotherapist can help provide you with insight and knowledge about your recovery and help you adapt movements to meet your individual needs within a group setting.
