Pilates postnatal recovery

Once the postpartum period is behind you, Postnatal Pilates guides you mindfully and professionally back to your strength. With targeted exercises for the pelvic floor, core and posture, we support your postnatal recovery – gently, but effectively. Alongside the movement, there's room for exchange, questions and connecting with other mums.

We recommend the course from week 6 after a vaginal birth and from week 8 after a C-section – provided everything has healed well and your midwife or doctor gives you the green light.

We offer Postnatal Pilates as a fixed course block with weekly sessions, for example 8 sessions over 8 weeks – you'll find the exact number in the respective course booking. You train in a closed, trusting group of no more than 10 mums, and each session lasts 60 minutes. The sessions build on each other, so you can feel your progress week by week.

Yes, gladly – you can bring your baby or consciously take time just for yourself. The little ones aren't actively included in the exercises, as the focus is on you and your body. If your baby needs your attention, your trainer will show you suitable alternatives so you can still stay involved.

Our Postnatal Pilates courses are currently not covered by health insurance – so you bear the cost privately. That said, we're convinced this course is a valuable investment in your postnatal recovery and your well-being after pregnancy.

With a baby, things come up – we understand that. Since the course block is booked as a whole, individual missed sessions unfortunately can't be made up or refunded. Please still let us know briefly if you can't come; it helps us with planning.

No. The course is suitable for all mothers, regardless of whether you've ever done Pilates before. It's led by specially trained instructors who adapt the exercises to your body and how you feel on the day.

Once you've completed the postnatal recovery course, you can join Pilates Mum & Baby – an open class you can book flexibly and bring your baby to. When you feel fit, more intense formats such as Barre or Pilates Full Body Flow are also open to you.

Please bring a towel – it's mandatory for hygiene reasons. If you forget yours, you can rent one at the studio for €2. Wear comfortable clothing you feel good in, and bring something to drink (no glass bottles). We train in non-slip socks (Pilates or grip socks). If your baby comes along, remember your own blanket for them to lie on and nappies – we don't have any on site. We provide mats and all other equipment at the studio.

You book the course block online through our booking system. Free cancellation is possible up to 14 days before the course starts; after that, the full course fee is due – unless you find a replacement participant who takes over your place. The course runs with a minimum of 3 participants; if we have to cancel it due to insufficient bookings, we'll refund your fee in full or, if you prefer, credit it to your account. Participation via EGYM Wellpass, Urban Sports Club or ClassPass is unfortunately not possible for course blocks. You'll find the current prices on our prices page.
