Pilates Mama & Baby

Pilates Mum & Baby is a Pilates class for the time after giving birth, to which you can bring your baby. With gentle, controlled exercises you strengthen your body, build your core and relieve your back and shoulders, which work hard in everyday life with a baby. At the same time, you consciously take time for yourself – with or without your baby by your side.

To take part, you need to have completed a postnatal recovery course – whether with us or elsewhere. That way your body is well prepared to take the next step with Pilates Mum & Baby. If you still have any complaints after the birth, please check with your doctor or midwife beforehand.

No, your baby is welcome to come along but doesn't have to. You're just as welcome on your own. Since there are babies in every class, though, things can sometimes get a little livelier and louder – that's simply part of this class.

There's no minimum age. Your baby can come along until they start walking – after that, it becomes too restless in the class room for everyone.

We offer Postnatal Pilates as a fixed course block; there you strengthen your body after giving birth in a targeted, gradual way. Pilates Mum & Baby builds on this: it's an open class you can book flexibly, and your baby is welcome to join you. Haven't done a postnatal recovery course yet? Then it's best to start with our Postnatal Pilates course block.

There are no fixed breaks – you decide for yourself, as needed, when to breastfeed, feed, change or soothe your baby, and then simply rejoin. Nobody expects a perfect class; all the mums in the class know what it's like.

No. The class is just as suitable for beginners as for mothers who already did Pilates before or during their pregnancy. It's led by specially trained instructors who show you suitable variations for every exercise – you set your own pace and intensity.

Your baby is welcome in both classes. Pilates Mum & Baby focuses on strengthening your core and building stable posture; Yoga Mum & Baby is more oriented towards flexibility, breathing and relaxation. Many mums combine both.

For you: a towel – it's mandatory for hygiene reasons; if you forget yours, you can rent one at the studio for €2 –, comfortable clothing, non-slip socks (Pilates or grip socks) and something to drink (no glass bottles). For your baby: ideally your own blanket to lie on – if necessary, you can also use one of our yoga blankets –, nappies (we don't have any on site) and anything else your baby needs to feel comfortable. We provide mats at the studio.

The easiest way is to book your class online through our booking system. There you can secure your spot, choose your dates and reschedule or cancel flexibly (free cancellation up to 12 hours before the class starts). If you use EGYM Wellpass, Urban Sports Club or ClassPass, you book directly via the respective app; with Wellpass and USC, you check in on site via location-based check-in (GPS). You'll find more about prices, memberships and using Wellpass, USC and ClassPass on our prices page.
