What the classes cover
Most of the classes here are Pilates or yoga, and the two are often combined. A good share focus on balance and the core and pelvic floor, which makes them a fit for the period after birth. Many sessions are open to all levels, and more than half are marked as a first class ever, so you can start without prior experience.
The format is built around parents and children. Parent-and-child sessions make up most of the collection, and postnatal classes add a second strand for those in the weeks and months after birth. Class lengths are typically about 50 minutes.
