After birth, your body needs time, kindness and smart progressions. Start with breath and alignment so daily lifts, feeds and pram pushes feel easier. A specialist postnatal class gives you safe options and coaching that fits the kind of day you’re having.
Build gradually with Mummy and Me Pilates for deep‑core reconnection and posture, or choose Mummy and Me Yoga to combine mobility with calm breath.

If you have specific concerns such as pain, incontinence or prolapse symptoms, talk to your GP or a women’s health physio before progressing.
When is it safe to start core work after birth?
Begin only after GP or midwife clearance. Start with breath and alignment, then add gentle strength with guidance.
Will postnatal Pilates help my back and shoulders?
Yes – expect posture cues and strength work that supports feeding and carrying.
Do I need experience to join?
No. Busylizzy sessions welcome beginners and offer options for every move.
