Strength and Core
Strong Foundations for Mums
As a dedicated Women's Health and Wellness Therapist, I am excited to offer Strength & Core, which is a friendly small-group class for mums who want to feel stronger after having a baby, whether you’re weeks or years postpartum. My mission is to support women through every stage of their health and wellness journey with expert guidance and a nurturing environment.
Strength and Core
Strong Foundations for Mums
In Strength & Core you’ll build full-body strength using simple weights, bands and balls, with a weekly focus on core and pelvic floor connection, so lifting, carrying, walking and exercise feels easier (and more confident) again. All exercises are coached with options for every level — no fitness experience needed. Perfect if you’re nervous about getting back into exercise.
Babies are welcome
Bring your baby along, we have play mats and bouncers available, and you’re welcome to bring anything else that helps you and your baby feel settled.
Expect:
-
a full-body strength workout (beginner-friendly)
-
core + pelvic floor training built in each week
-
posture support + back/hip strength
-
a welcoming space to move alongside other mums
This isn’t about “bouncing back”. It’s about rebuilding strength for real life.
Suitable for: Mums who are 4+ weeks postnatal, returning to exercise after birth, or anyone wanting a safe postnatal-friendly workout.
Tuesday's 10:15-11:00am
What we work on in Strength and Core
Each class includes a mix of strength training and postnatal-focused movement work to support your core, pelvic floor, posture and confidence.
In class, we regularly work on:
-
Breathing and diaphragm connection to support pelvic floor function and core control
-
Core strength (including deep core activation without gripping or bracing)
-
Pelvic stability and hip strength to help reduce aches, heaviness and “wobbly” feelings
-
Hip mobility and control (including internal/external rotation strength and reducing glute gripping)
-
Posture support (mid-back opening, rib flare awareness, and better alignment through the trunk)
-
Lower back and thoracic mobility to help you move and rotate more comfortably
-
Side body and inner thigh strength for pelvic support and core integration
-
Foot and ankle mobility/strength (often overlooked, but essential for pelvic stability and safe return to movement)
-
Glute strength and full body strength using simple weights, bands and balls
-
Building impact tolerance gradually (preparing your body for walking faster, running, jumping, without rushing into impact)
Everything is coached with options, so you can work at your level whether you’re 4 weeks postpartum or years down the line.
Why this matters, especially after birth
After pregnancy and birth, many women feel like their body is “different”, weaker, tighter, less stable, or disconnected. This isn’t a failure. It’s normal, and it’s trainable.
Strength & Core focuses on the areas that make the biggest difference to how you feel day-to-day.
This work matters because it helps you:
-
feel more supported through your core and pelvis, not like everything is dropping or unstable
-
lift, carry and move more comfortably (baby, car seat, pram, laundry, shopping… real life!)
-
reduce back, hip and pelvic aches by improving alignment and strength where it counts
-
build strength without making symptoms worse, using smart progressions and pressure management
-
return to exercise with confidence, especially if you’ve felt nervous, unsure, or put off by “normal” fitness classes
-
reconnect with your body after a season of change — without bounce-back pressure
This class isn’t about getting your body “back.”
It’s about rebuilding strength for real life — safely, progressively, and with support.
Childcare in the Tiny Town
I understand the challenges of balancing motherhood with self-care. That's why we offer optional childcare in the Tiny Town, allowing you to focus on your wellness without worry. However, women are welcome to attend without bringing their children, and small babies are allowed in the studio during classes at no extra charge.
Supervised childcare in the Tiny Town MUST be booked separately.
All play sessions will be supervised by Laura at My Little Play Place. Laura is qualified in Child Care to Level 3, hold both first aid and safeguarding qualifications. She has been managing child care settings for the past 6 years and worked in childcare for 9 years.
