RECOVERY

Postnatal Classes

Throughout your pregnancy and birth experience, recovery entails getting to know your changing body, regaining strength in structures that have been strained for months, rediscovering your body’s core, talking to others and the ability to simply do something for yourself.

Learn to feel, activate, strengthen, mobilise and stretch all your joints and muscle groups from head to toe using the Polestar® Pilates method and BeBo® concept. I can help you improve your awareness and stabilise your upright posture in a number of different body positions.

Advice and information on protective pelvic floor behaviour in everyday life, identification and treatment of rectus diastasis, urinary incontinence and prolaps diseases after birth, pelvic floor trainers as training aids and pelvic floor and sport are included in the postnatal course as brief theoretical inputs.

Coralie

Yes the course met my expectations and even more, in the sense that I found the pelvic floor training very good and additionally I loved the exercises throughout the whole body and especially felt very good for my back! I felt good and more relaxed after the class, there was always a good spirit throughout the course, I liked the different tools used for the exercises (ball, sling, pillow,etc).

Federica

I learnt useful exercises that I can apply during my daily tasks which helps to train the pelvic floor as well as I learned to release stress. The exercises became more intensive over time which made every lesson more challenging and interesting.

Shruti

I found the course a good way to start to get back in balance with my body, and was a welcome distraction from the busy life of a new mother.The course included a good mix of pratical and theoretical topics, and gave an opportunity to connect with other women in a similar phase of life.

Claudia

Did the postnatal class meet your expectations?

Yes. Very good explanations to understand the problems of the pelvic floor and to learn the breathing techniques.

Sabine

We got to know and appreciate Ilka during a private postnatal course. We especially liked her humorous and open approach to questions, but also her sensitive way of dealing with explosive and shameful topics. Ilka supported us at all times with advice and action, provided materials and adapted the course to our individually needs. We would ask her for support again at any time should we have another child.

GROUP COURSE

Postnatal classes are generally recommended from 6-8 weeks after birth. However, practical experience shows that babies are usually still very restless during this time, which makes it very difficult for women to leave their homes for 1.5 hours or to concentrate on themselves in the class with the child. It is therefore better to leave yourself some more time!

Participation in the course from the 3rd to the 6th month after birth proves to be the best time frame for most women to use the course as a relaxed “me-time” and exchange.
