This 6 week series is designed to help new mothers safely return to movement while bonding with their babies. This series focuses on rebuilding core strength, pelvic floor stability, and overall mobility through gentle yet effective reformer-based Pilates exercises. Babies (pre-crawlers) are welcome on the reformer carriage, in your arms, or nearby, creating a nurturing environment for both mom and baby.
Led in a small-group setting, this series provides progressive instruction over six weeks, with modifications to meet each mother’s needs. It’s a chance to strengthen your body, connect with your baby, and share the journey with other moms in a supportive community.
