Postnatal Pilates: How Mums & Bubs Reformer Classes Rebuild Core Strength

The first year postpartum is enormous. Your body has done extraordinary work, and returning to movement should feel supportive — not like a race. Our Mums & Bubs Reformer Pilates classes exist for exactly that reason.

Who is it for?

Mums with babies from around 6 weeks old (with clearance from your GP or women's health physio) up to crawling age. Bring bub — no childcare juggling required. Feed, cuddle, roll over on the mat next to you: our teachers are used to it and totally welcome it.

What makes postnatal reformer different?

Postnatal Pilates is not just a "gentler" class. It's designed around what actually happens to your body during pregnancy and birth:

• ·**Deep core reconnection** — targeted transverse abdominis and pelvic floor work
• ·**Diastasis-safe sequences** — no crunches, no forced flexion, no doming
• ·**Posture reset** — undoing all the shoulder rounding from feeding and carrying
• ·**Pelvic floor–first breathing** — coordinated breath and lift, every rep

What a class feels like

45 minutes of low-impact reformer flow. Springs are set lighter than a regular class. There's plenty of time to pause if bub needs you. You'll leave feeling taller, stronger through the middle, and — importantly — like yourself again.

When it runs

Mums & Bubs Reformer Pilates runs Tuesdays and Thursdays at Passion Pilates Chadstone. Book the next available class directly through our schedule.

You've grown a human. Time to reclaim your body — gently, thoroughly, and with your baby right beside you.
