Postnatal Pilates is a class which has been carefully designed to help promote the health and wellbeing of both you and your baby. A gentle reintroduction to movement using safe Pilates movements, bringing focus back to the core and pelvic floor which is often lost throughout pregnancy and post-birth for us mamas.

Learn how to re-connect the mind to muscle connection with our body, whilst still enjoying a nice, gentle stretch of the body to sooth any aches or pains we have from nursing, carrying or playing with our babies.

In this session, expect to start with a gentle baby massage to help relax our babies at the start of class, a gentle postnatal flow and postnatal Pilates movements to rebuild and strengthen your core and pelvic floor.

This session is also open to any mama’s who want an hour to themselves (without their baby) - to fully focus on their postnatal practice. This is your practice - as well as your babies.

Suitable for any Mama from;\
6+ weeks Vaginal birth\
12+ weeks C Section

(or until any stitches have completely healed)

Mama & Me Yoga (Postnatal)

Tyler Boston

I did pregnancy yoga with Ellie prior to having baby and now I do mum and baby yoga and Ellie is fab wouldn’t go anywhere else and has created an amazing community that I couldn’t be without 

Laura Booth

I first started with Ellie for prenatal yoga and now take part in postnatal yoga with my little one. I was nervous about starting yoga but Ellie was so welcoming, I soon felt at ease and found the classes so relaxing, practicing breath work and pregnancy safe positions. It became so much more than ‘just yoga’ Ellie also created a community for us mums to be to keep in touch which has been an absolute godsend, we all ask various questions and support one another through all times of day. Now at prenatal yoga it’s so lovely to see all the babes together and other mums. It’s a different kind of relaxing as you know for the next hour there is no judgement and any support you need. If your babe behaves and you get to practice yoga then that’s a bonus! I couldn’t recommend the classes to anyone enough. 

Katie Newton

Lovely class with elements of baby massage and yoga, perfectly suited for the post natal period with gorgeous stretching in all the right areas building elements of more difficult poses, we love the classes!

Polly corke

So friendly, welcoming and supportive! A sense of community which is great with being a first time mum! 

Charlotte Watson

Absolutely love Els classes. So warm and welcoming with a great community of Mums. The space at Beyond the Pines is so inviting and I felt totally at ease with my bab. It was really nice knowing anything goes, I could feed / change / soothe my baby totally free of judgement and had support of a great community…thank you 🙏🏼🤍✨

Shanice Thompson

Ellie is really lovely and welcoming all the other girls in the group are so nice and understanding 🤍 great class 

Emily Allwood

Sienna and I had the best time at postnatal Pilates! The set up was perfect for the babies and all the exercise mats etc were provided, which made it really easy. Ellie is so lovely and the class was perfect for feeling like you’ve had a good workout, whilst entertaining your baby too. Love the idea that the mums go for a walk after as well! We’ll be back again - Lovely class :)

Postnatal Pilates

Harley McKenna

Such a great class, we need more mum and baby exercise classes like this for mums who want to get back the gym but don't want to be away from baby just yet.  

Charlotte Carberry

Always wanted to try Pilates and found Ells class where I can take my baby as well. I was worried the class would be more for babies but it was a class that was more for mums but also involved your baby nicely. It’s also a free space so don’t worry about your baby getting restless, need feeding etc.

Zena Parker

This post natal pilates class was excellent.  The class was small and relaxed. The exercises were challenging but not too challenging and we were made to feel really welcome. I will be going back again!

Mama to be Yoga (Prenatal)

Dominique Butchard

Such a great class! I came away feeling relaxed but also like I’d strengthened myself physically. A lovely environment and great teacher.

April Robinson

I attended pregnancy yoga with Ellie and really enjoyed it. The classes aren’t too hard and I found were gentle which was just what I needed with suffering with pelvic girdle pain. Ellie is not just a yoga teacher, she is now someone who is a close friend and has created a lovely community of mums and babes. 

Beth Hughes 

Absolutely gorgeous pre natal yoga class with El. El has now grew a gorgeous community of all mums with babes similar ages which we are all so thankful to have. Thanks so much El for your classes and support 🤍

Claire Bethan Scanlon

I'm not a yoga girl but after speaking to Ellie over the first few months of my pregnancy I was eager for her to get back to work to start pregnancy yoga and understand more about the body, connection and breathing. 
The session was so relaxing and I felt no pressure at all being a beginner. The whole class was friendly and Ellie was so attentive to everyone and their seperate needs. Highly recommend x

Chelsea Keenan

Amazing! Ellie is so lovely, and the classes are fab for mums to be. 

Sarah Wilkinson 

El was fantastic! Great class with a great blend of stretching, strengthening and relaxation.

Sarah  Wilkinson 

Such a lovely class,  the perfect mix of stretch, strengthening and relaxation. Plus, a very  friendly and welcoming group of ladies!

Abbie Powley

Lovely class, Ellie makes you feel so comfortable and at ease. 
Class is very beneficial x

Dani McNerlin

Lovely class and atmosphere. Felt well supported and look forward to visiting again.

Christina McClay

I've really enjoyed the pregnancy yoga sessions, it's such a welcoming group. I'm a beginner to yoga and have found it's not been too hard to pick up, and after spending all day at work with aches and pains I feel 100x better when I go home after the class. 

Emily Munt

Ellie’s antenatal yoga sessions have been  amazing so far. I’ve had lots of back pains throughout pregnancy and this has been something that has been really helpful in managing that pain, whilst also giving me some stretches to practice at home. Ellie is so patient and caring around everyone’s individual needs in the class as everyone is at different stages in pregnancy, but makes everyone feel welcome. Thanks so much, Ellie xx

Claire Marsden 

Love these yoga sessions, would definitely recommend for any mums to be! 

Susannah Foster

This is a great class! Lovely women, lovely atmosphere and Ellie is fab, really knows her stuff! I always feel better after class!!
I’m a bit of a couch potato normally so I did find the classes a bit difficult at first but since going from quite early on in my pregnancy I find them easier each week and  there are moves you can do at home between classes to help with any pain which is inevitable later on in your pregnancy.
The benefits of these classes  far outweigh me being initially not very good!! 
I really would recommend for anyone of any ability!!
Thanks Ellie for creating a really helpful yoga class in such a calming and welcoming environment!

Did my first class yesterday and it was such a lovely calm and relaxing experience. Ellie was very knowledgeable and experienced and I felt safe under her instruction. Looking forward to the next class! 

Laura Carragher

I have never done yoga before and I really enjoyed it! I wanted to do something for me and also for baby to keep me feeling relaxed and connected. El makes you feel empowered and calm. It’s so nice being surrounded by likeminded women. I will definitely be continuing sessions throughout my pregnancy journey! 

Maria Dillon

The best pregnancy yoga class I have been to on the wirral by a longggg way!! 
Atmosphere is so calming, Ellie is so welcoming and knowledgeable and the yoga sequence was exactly what I needed. Highly recommend over any other classes!!
