Move through Pregnancy.
Understand your recovery.

MOVE WITH YOUR CHANGING BODY

Pregnancy can make familiar movement suddenly feel very different.

Learn how to adapt movement through pregnancy, practise comfortably and build confidence in what your body can still do.

UNDERSTAND YOUR CORE & PELVIC FLOOR

Go beyond simply being told to “do your pelvic floor exercises.”

We’ll explore how your pelvic floor, abdominal wall, breathing and posture work together — during pregnancy and as you begin recovering afterwards.

FEEL MORE PREPARED FOR POSTPARTUM

The early postpartum months can come with a lot of conflicting advice and you might rather stay at home than joining a recovery class.

Leave this session with a clearer understanding of recovery exercises you can do as needed.

A little preparation can make postpartum feel less uncertain.

Pregnancy tends to receive a lot of attention. Postpartum recovery often receives considerably less.

You may be told to rest for six weeks and then, after a short check-up, simply return to exercise — without much explanation of what has changed, what sensations are normal, how your core and pelvic floor work after birth, or how to know when your body is ready for more.

This workshop is designed to help bridge that gap.

We’ll begin with 45 minutes of pregnancy-friendly Yoga, allowing you to move, breathe and explore useful adaptations in a relaxed environment.

We’ll then move into an interactive Postpartum Pilates & Recovery workshop, looking at the anatomy and physiology behind recovery and translating it into simple things you can actually use.

The workshop will help you:

  • Understand how pregnancy affects the abdominal wall and pelvic floor
  • Explore breathing, posture and pressure management
  • Learn the foundations of postpartum core reconnection
  • Understand what a gradual return to exercise can look like

Really impressed with Pilates. It’s chilled, supportive, and still gives you a proper workout. The instructor Marie keeps everything simple, and I’m feeling stronger and more balanced each week. Great atmosphere and perfect for anyone who just wants to move better and feel good.

My goodness what can I say about Marie?! I have worked with her in multiple different capacities over the years from online coaching to nutrition advice to attending a range of her classes from yoga, Pilates and Acro workshops. Over the last few years whenever I have been in Cornwall it is a MUST for me so do a Marie led class. She leads with intention, knowledge and kindness - the space she facilitates leaves you smiling from ear to ear! Everyone in her classes is made to feel it’s an even playing field, she will adjust, que and build based on everyone’s individual needs in a room. I feel I could go on but if you’re looking for a sign to give something a go, this is it! Marie makes me feel brave and for that I’m always grateful!

Marie is such a fantastic instructor. She has a way of making everyone feel at ease and comfortable, and her passion for health and movement is infectious. Her knowledge of physiology is fantastic, I feel safe in her hands despite being under rehab for an injury. I am so glad that I found her courses!

Marie is an excellent Pilates teacher. Her classes are fun, challenging (in the best way!), and she explains each exercise in detail, ensuring we understand which muscle we are working on. Would recommend her teaching, especially in the post partum stage!
