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 and the App

Postpartum Exercise Class Offer

My postpartum exercise class consists of two parts:

  • Indoor Pilates Classes Without Babies
  • Postpartum Recovery Module in the “Gemeinsam gebären” App During Your Classes

Pilates postnatal course

Pilates postnatal classes are 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.

There are two classes per week. The Monday class is for adults only. On Wednesdays, we do Pilates with the babies.

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.

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.

The Wednesday class sometimes goes “Into the Wild”

If it works out, we’ll take the babies on a walk in the woods called “Into the Wild” on Wednesday.

I always give notice via WhatsApp.

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.
