Pilates for New Moms

Our postpartum exercise class is taught by a Physical Therapist at Stanford Hospital & Clinics who is also a Stott certified Pilates instructor. She will incorporate a variety of pilates based exercises, functional exercises that strengthen the core, arms and legs and strength exercises using your baby as weight as well as resistive bands. Participants will learn about abdominal separation that is often common during pregnancy and delivery and how to perform corrective exercises if needed to be able to resume abdominal strengthening. Proper body mechanics and ways to avoid common postpartum injuries such as tendinitis of the wrist and low back strain will be demonstrated. This class will help moms learn how to progress an exercise program to meet their fitness goals with opportunities to incorporate and interact with their baby when willing and to modify to adapt to baby's needs. A short discussion on health and fitness will be included during cool down.

Pilates for New Moms will be held on Tuesday mornings from 9:30-10:20am in the Community Education Classroom, #121 at 4100 Bohannon Drive in Menlo Park. Please bring a yoga mat with you to each class.

Because risks can be associated with any exercise program it is important that you discuss your plans to exercise with your obstetrician before you attend this class. It is generally recommended that moms begin this program 6 weeks after a vaginal delivery or 8 weeks after a cesarean delivery unless advised otherwise by their doctor.
