Trimester Four/Postpartum
8 Seasons
Welcome to Trimester Four!
Ease back into light yet productive movement after your precious baby has arrived. Reconnect your abdominals, strengthen your pelvic floor, activate your glutes and core. Most importantly, reclaim some me-time.
This next phase of classes is suitable when you are at least 6 weeks postpartum and have had Mummy MOT clearance to exercise. Knowing that you will have less time and energy on your hands, the plan for the next 6 weeks helps to make movement accessible and enjoyable for you. You can have your bub with you on your mat, pause to feed/nappy change/soothe, whatever you need to do… This is your time.
Sip on plenty of water as you move your body, and don't be afraid to rest more as and when needed. If you are unsure about anything, please seek advice from your midwife or obstetrician, or contact me for advice at [email protected].
