Postpartum Exercise Class in Zurich

A postnatal course is important for strengthening the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, improving posture and restoring general stability.

Pilates, outdoor walks, and an app

Postpartum Exercise Class Offer

One subscription, three offers. My postnatal course consists of 3 components :

  • Indoor Pilates Classes Without Babies
  • “Into the Wild” Outdoor Walks with a Baby
  • Postpartum Recovery Module in the “Gemeinsam gebären” App During Your Classes

Pilates postnatal course

The postnatal Pilates class, offered in German or English , is suitable for women starting about 6 weeks after giving birth. That’s when it’s time to help your body get back on track. At the same time, the classes provide a supportive space for social interaction among you moms.

Starting in January 2026, I will be offering one course in English and one course in German. You are free to choose your courses regardless of the language.

Advantages of recovery courses

  • Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles:
    We strengthen your pelvic floor with targeted exercises. This is particularly important as pregnancy and childbirth put a lot of strain on this area and can cause weaknesses.
  • Restoring Abdominal Muscles:
    During pregnancy, the abdominal muscles stretch to make room for the growing baby. With targeted exercises, we strengthen the abdominal muscles and get them back in shape.

  • Improving Posture and Body Stability
    Through targeted exercises, we aim to improve posture and strengthen the muscles in the back and shoulder area.

Full Flexibility with a Subscription

We do Pilates together twice a week!

During the first 15 minutes, there will be an open discussion about postpartum recovery, as well as other topics related to the postpartum period, life with a baby, and breastfeeding.

For 60 minutes, we’ll focus on our workout —without the kids—using a Pilates-based routine, but we’ll also incorporate elements of yoga and calisthenics.

The focus is on strengthening the core muscles, the pelvic floor, special exercises for the recutsdiastasis, posture, release of typical tension in the back and neck.

Materials such as Therabands, Pilates rollers, gymnastics balls and small balls, as well as Magic Circles provide variety.

Pilates classes in German and English

I offer courses in German and in
English. Choose the language that’s right for you so you feel comfortable.

Included in the course:

  • Access to my app* with online modules, tutorials, and more on topics such as yoga, breathing, relaxation, hypnobirthing, breastfeeding, and postpartum recovery. You can access important basic information at home through the app via short, informative tutorials.

*The app is currently only available in Germany.

Postpartum Exercise Class at Zürifit Buchlern

“Into the Wild” Outdoor Walks and Sports

We’ll meet outdoors at Zürifit Buchlern and do a fun mix of cardio, Pilates, yoga, and CrossFit. The babies will be in their strollers or baby slings. Older siblings are also welcome to come along. The mothers are responsible for supervising the children.

This offer is a 4-session package for those who only want to participate in the outdoor sessions and have already taken a postnatal recovery class with another provider.

After practice, you ladies can go for a walk in the woods on your own or head over to the GZ Bachwiesen for a coffee, while my dog Bo and I say goodbye.

Costs

Subscription: 4 x 75 min., CHF 156

We’ll meet at Zürifit Buchlern, near the Schulhaus Buchlern or Friedhof Eichbühl stops. I’ll bring various equipment, such as TheraBands, exercise balls, Pilates rollers, Pilates rings and balls, kettlebells, balance boards, etc.

We’re having an open practice session. I walk around, correct people, give tips, and make suggestions. The babies are with us in their strollers or baby slings/carriers.

Pregnant women are also warmly invited to participate in this open-air outdoor gym. I hope this will foster a wonderful exchange between pregnant women and new mothers.

Meeting Point and Location

Thursday, 10:00 a.m. — 11:15 a.m.

We usually meet at Zürifit Buchlern, but in the summer we might also meet by the Limmat or at another location. The exact meeting place will be announced via chat.
