Amongst the nappy changes, feeds, lack of sleep and recovering from the birth itself, there can be little time to think about exercise! The demands of pregnancy and then the energies of labour put \u00a0a great stress on your body and it needs time to recover and heal. So you may not feel like rushing straight back into exercise and that is understandable. However your body also needs the strength to carry, feed and lift without causing aches, pains and issues later down the line.<\/p>\n<p>Pilates is the perfect compromise with this. It is exercise that can be started <a title=\"Why is Pilates so beneficial for new mums?\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pilateswithpriya.co.uk\/why-is-pilates-so-beneficial-for-new-mums\/\">soon after birth<\/a> but won&#8217;t feel too strenuous. Being able to do just 10 minutes a day will make such a difference to your body. Getting to a class can be stressful with a baby. Help is at hand. We run <a title=\"Classes\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pilateswithpriya.co.uk\/bump-to-birth\/classes\/\">postnatal classes<\/a> with a creche provided.
