Postnatal Pilates #20 | Glutes & Side Body
Postnatal Pilates
•
20m
We begin seated with breathwork, before moving into mermaid with cat-cow to create space through the middle of the back. From there, we shift into side-lying work to strengthen the outer glutes, flowing through a 90/90 clam into kicks before easing out with a stretch.
Keeping the focus through the side body, we then move into an oblique sequence with arm and shoulder strengthening between sides. Once we've evened out both sides, we make our way up to standing to finish.
Take everything at your own pace and rest whenever you need. Jess is 11 weeks postpartum while filming, but every postnatal recovery is different - listen to your body and do what feels right for you.
I hope you enjoy the class x
