Post Natal Recovery Program: Phase 1&2
Phase 1 of the program guides you gently, week by week through initial healing post birth. Phase 2 then starts to gently and safely increase the intensity of your strength and conditioning journey.
Who Is This Package For?
You may currently be pregnant but already thinking ahead to your recovery, wanting to know ahead of time what you can and should do to make it as smooth as possible. Maybe you have had your baby in the last 8 weeks and are now feeling ready to get moving again but don't know what to do, or how, for an effective and safe recovery. Or maybe you had your baby more than 8 weeks ago but are just starting to think about your body and need some guidance on where to begin.
Our Post Natal recovery Programs are set out in 0-8 week and 9-16 week post partum sections, but they would still be relevant for you if you fall outside of these specific time bands. That's because the content is universally applicable to mums and it's the sequencing that is more important than the time frame. If you are in any doubt, please feel free to get in touch via the contact page.

Your Instructor
Clare Jarvis
I have been practising Pilates for over 15 years, initially discovering it due to sciatica and long-term back pain I had been suffering with since a sporting accident in my early teens. I kept up the practice as it worked better than any other drugs or therapy at keeping the pain away.
I then decided to combine my skills at teaching English, with my love of Pilates and I knew I had found the right path for me. This experience led me to become a Teacher Trainer, instructing and examining would-be Pilates Instructors, and I love how I constantly learn from these students and keep my practice up to date through this role. I found the pre and post natal part of my training fascinating and went on to specialise in this area with further courses.
I love seeing Pilates make such an enormous difference to women at such a crucial time in their lives and having my own daughter in 2020 only served to confirm that this is my passion.

Don't just take our word for it...
Here are just a few of our post natal clients....
“I didn't have a lot of core strength after having a baby and was also suffering from anxiety about my body after giving birth. My back problems and the various aches and pains I get from being a mum have really improved from Pilates and I am learning to feel good about my body again”
"After 2 months of classes I feel much stronger. I use a baby carrier every day and have no back pain at all. I've gained a stronger core and better posture and I really look forward to it each week!"
"I felt much taller after the first class (had to readjust the mirrors in the car even!) and less achy in my back and shoulders"
“Within three sessions I really felt a difference in my body and a control of muscles I had lost since giving birth. Had I not started Pilates I would, without a doubt, still be struggling with pelvic floor issues and suffering constant back and neck pain as a result of looking after the twins. I’m now very excited to see what further progress I can make! ”
"Just wanted to say how much I've been enjoying your online recorded Pilates classes this lockdown! I've been managing one a week most weeks, although it's tricky sometimes with the kids! The Pilates has been really helpful, especially ... lifting a baby (well, almost toddler now!) up and down all day!"
"I learnt about pelvic floor and how to start with simple moves; it gave me that feeling of regaining my body back again and started my progress towards being fit. I feel like I learnt to stay in tune wiith my body a lot more and take the time for myself, I have felt myself get stronger each week"
"It felt good to be moving my body and know that I'm in the right hands as I fully trusted Clare's knowledge on post natal exercise. My body tone really improved, my core muscles, arms and shoulders are much stronger. If I hadn't done this, I am not sure I would have got to my strength so quickly after birth"
"I struggled a lot with lower back pain before but since attending classes it has improved the strength in my back and I’m able to move and do the harder options in classes now.
"I started Pilates with Clare pre-natally then was keen to start again after I'd had my baby. The breathing techniques and core and pelvic floor control exercises start to have an immediate effect. You just start to hold yourself more upright and feel more 'zipped up' straight away. It's obvious from the first class that Clare is a great instructor. She explains really well what you are doing and why and adapts the exercises for everyone there. The results are also immediately obvious. I have gained all over muscle tone and strength, abdominal separation reduced and pelvic floor strength"
"My general fitness and strength has improved a lot. I think I've managed to get rid of (most) of my pregnancy weight and tummy too! I don't think I would be as happy or fit post-birth as I am, had I not attended the classes. I also think my daughter enjoyed them too!"
