Local Mums recommend the best new mums Pilates classes in our area
"I highly recommend Carshalton Pilates to Local Mums. I was a complete beginner when I started last year after having a baby. With Sue's help I have really improved my core strength and general mobility/flexibility. Her sessions are fun but also expertly led so you know you're in safe hands”
Ruth Gardiner, Local Mum
"I recommend Carshalton Pilates to Local Mums. I love Sue's classes and I'm not usually a lover of exercise! The hour of stretch, challenges and giggles goes so quickly. Sue is a brilliant teacher, she supports and pushes you in equal measures.”

Carshalton Pilates classes for new mums takes place Tuesday morning at 9:30am. As with most Prenatal Pilates classes you should wait until your 6-week check up before coming back or starting to exercise. Be mindful of how you feel, you may need to take more rest if you are recovering from C-Section, or have experienced mastitis or any pelvic infections.
The focus of this class is to gently improve pelvic stability and abdominal integrity. So, we leave out curl ups or any exercises that could hinder the reduction of diastasis recti and create doming. We will not use leg weights but will use the body’s own resistance. We will however utilise props such as resistance bands, light hand weights, the Pilates circle and foam rollers. A relaxing meditation session at the end of the class supports your overall wellbeing.
As with all our Women’s Pilates classes, the small class size of 10 ladies provides a friendly space to come and workout and be part of the new mums community support at the Good Shepherd Church Hall. Mums can bring their (pre-crawling) babies to be on the mat with them or in a baby carrier.
It’s important that any teacher holding prenatal and postnatal Pilates classes (or any fitness class, for that matter!) is qualified to work with women during and after pregnancy. Sue holds a Level 3 Active IQ qualification in Supporting Pre and Postnatal Clients with Exercise and Nutrition and specialises in pregnancy 1-2-1’s, this includes programming safe and effective sessions and understanding the impact of pregnancy and childbirth on the body.
