After your baby has arrived earth-side, looking after yourself through deep postnatal healing is of utmost importance. We will guide you through all the necessary steps, whilst giving you valuable knowledge and tools which will stay with you forever. All of this helping to build a strong foundation on which you can proceed to higher impact and intensity exercise with no pain or symptoms. These classes provide a welcoming community space to embark on this journey together.
Active mama
embrace strength and ability through exercise
Are you feeling ready to take things back up a notch? Fully (or almost fully) recovered mothers can come and enjoy a more intensely paced class, based around circuit training with other mothers. This stage of the Active Mums journey is just as exciting, with exercises targeted to your stage and level and explanation at every juncture. Babies are welcome too!
WEEKLY TIMETABLE
Personal core education
Correct awareness and understanding of your core goes beyond training your abdominals. It gives you an intensive, thorough grasp on how a functioning and supportive core is vital to a woman’s well-being throughout all ages and stages in life. By equipping yourself with this knowledge, you will be able to enjoy all activities and age gracefully. This is a one time session.
