Our postnatal class with midwife Maxine takes place once a week. If you`re unable to attend one of the sessions, you are welcome to do your exercises on another day by simply using the recordings. You will also be given instructions on how to practice on your own at home.

Dates:

Thurs., 12:15 pm - 01:15 pm (CET)

Also suitable for mothers with caesarean section.

Our postnatal class is not a sports class where you work yourself to the limit. The exercises gently activate and strengthen the pelvic floor, abdominal and back muscles so that you can regain lasting stability and free yourself from pain.

You don't need any other materials. However, a sports or yoga mat is an advantage.

You will learn from midwife Maxine how to correctly perform the exercises that strengthen your muscles at your own pace. This part is divided into 4 blocks. Each of these blocks contains 3 exercises and will be repeated twice.

At the very beginning, you will also learn about the so-called basic tension, which is particularly important for regression. You will also learn what rectus diastasis is and what it has to do with your posture.

At the end of each training session we stretch the muscles and perform simple yoga exercises. This loosens tensions and gives the exercises a calm ending. Then you can go about your daily life in a more relaxed way.

Although it is not compulsory in Germany to attend a postnatal class, it is definitely recommended. The changes in your body during pregnancy and birth have put a lot of strain on your body. In order to strengthen your body again, especially the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, and to get it back into shape, a postnatal class is important.

You should start your regression about 6 to 8 weeks after birth. If you had a caesarean section, you should only start 12 weeks post partum.

Sure. Again, listen to your body. You can complement your back formation with other exercises, walks or even yoga. At Kinderheldin you will find suitable courses for your well-being.

For most exercises, you only need yourself and a sports or yoga mat. If other materials are needed, our midwife will let you know in advance.

Postnatal exercise classes with Kinderheldin are as flexible as you need them to be. Join our live classes via Zoom or watch the recordings whenever you want. Midwife Maxine will show you exercises for your body and answer all your questions.
