DESCRIPTION
Pregnancy & delivery bring a significant amount of pressure on the pelvic floor muscles around the vagina and anus. The abdominal wall also goes under a long period of stretch during pregnancy, weakening the core. In the first 3 months after delivery (so called the Fourth Trimester), it is important for moms to allow their body to heal before going back to moderate-intense physical activities. Indeed, going back to sports too early after baby may create long term damage such as pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic and low back pain and so on.
That being said - what can you do to help your body recover safely in this critical period? This is what you will learn in this class. Bringing awareness to the deep core and pelvic floor muscles and starting to awaken them gently will be the main focus of this 4-week program.
WHO IS THIS FOR?
- Any mom > 3 weeks post partum - babies are absolutely welcome 🙂 However, the class is not suitable for mobile babies.
- We especially recommend this program in the first 3 months after delivery
- The exercises demonstrated in this class are safe for everyone, regardless of your delivery mode (c-section or vaginal)
- The class is offered live in-studio, as well as through online streaming for mammas who may prefer to take it from home or live in a remote area
WHAT YOU WILL GET:
- Learn to reconnect with your body by engaging your deep core & pelvic floor muscles
- Build up your strength progressively & safely before getting back into moderate-intense physical activity & prevent injuries
- Get 1-1 feedback about your exercises from the instructor (in-studio participants)
- Socialize with other moms & babies in the same stage as you (in-studio participants)
- Can't make it to the class one week? Don't worry, we got you covered! Watch it live from home, or simply watch the replay!
- Discuss various topics of interest each week, from protection of your pelvic floor during the 4th trimester, back pain prevention, return to sexual activity after delivery, and more
