Frequently Asked Questions About Postnatal Pilates Classes in Singapore

When can I start Postnatal Pilates after giving birth?

You can typically start Postnatal Pilates at least 6 weeks after giving birth, provided you have approval from your healthcare provider. It’s important to ensure your body is ready and any postpartum complications are addressed before beginning any exercise programme.

Do I need any prior experience in Pilates to join a postnatal class?

No prior experience with Pilates is required to join our postnatal classes. Our experienced instructors are here to guide beginners and provide personalised attention, ensuring a safe and supportive environment for all participants.

How often should I attend Postnatal Pilates classes?

Attending postnatal Pilates classes twice a week is recommended to aid in recovery and gradually rebuild strength and flexibility effectively.

What should I wear to a Postnatal Pilates class?

For Postnatal Pilates, wear comfortable, stretchable clothing that allows freedom of movement. Supportive, non-restrictive attire is best to facilitate exercises effectively. Additionally, anti-slip socks are compulsory to ensure stability and safety during your workout.

How is postnatal Pilates different from regular Pilates?

Regular Pilates focuses on overall strength, flexibility, and body awareness, often featuring complex movements. In contrast, Postnatal Pilates specifically aids new mothers by gently rehabilitating the pelvic floor, strengthening weakened abdominal muscles, and alleviating postpartum discomfort, offering a slower-paced and more supportive practice tailored for post-birth recovery.

How long is a typical Postnatal Pilates class?

A typical postnatal Pilates class usually lasts about one hour, offering enough time to engage effectively in exercises without being too overwhelming.

What modifications are available for different stages of postpartum recovery?

In Postnatal Pilates, modifications are made to each participant’s recovery phase. For the initial stages, exercises focus on light stretching and strengthening the pelvic floor. Later, as healing progresses, the intensity and complexity of movements increase, incorporating more abdominal work and full-body coordination to better suit improved physical conditions.

Is Postnatal Pilates suitable for women who had a caesarean section?

Yes, postnatal Pilates can be safely practised by women who have had a caesarean section once they receive medical clearance, usually around 8 to 12 weeks post-surgery. The exercises are carefully modified to accommodate their specific recovery needs, ensuring comfort and safety.
