Coffee Afternoon: Returning to Exercise with Confidence

Coffee, sweet treats, little ones and a practical workshop to help you feel more confident returning to exercise after having a baby. 🤍

Join us for a relaxed Mum & Mini coffee afternoon in the private upstairs room at The Crown Tavern, Lee, with Personal Trainer and Pilates Instructor Gillian Hatherall (@gillhatherallpt).

If you’ve been wondering where to start with exercise after having a baby, what’s safe, how quickly to progress, or simply how to fit movement into an already very full life with a little one — this afternoon is for you.

Over coffee and something sweet, Gill will lead us through a practical 60-minute work shop and supportive chat designed to help you feel more confident moving your body postpartum.

We’ll be covering:

✨ When and how to return to exercise safely

✨ Breathing techniques to support your core and pelvic floor

✨️ Building strength and stability

✨ How and when to progress your excercise safely - and when it may be helpful to seek additional support

✨️ Working towards higher-impact movement

✨ Realistic ways to fit movement around looking after a little one

This isn’t a work out class, so there’s no pressure to excercise! But, Gill will take us through some simple practical demonstrations, so wear something comfortable and bring an exercise mat if you can. Don’t have one? Just let us know and we’ll bring a few spares.

And you won’t leave wondering “okay… but what do I actually do now?”

Gill will take us through a next-steps activity to bring everything together, and you’ll receive a take-home resource and simple return-to-exercise roadmap, giving you a realistic starting point to work from after the workshop.

Attendees will also receive an exclusive discount for Gill’s Motherhood RE:BUILD online programme for its next intake. 🤍

And because this is still very much a Mum & Mini afternoon, there’ll be plenty of time to have a coffee, enjoy something sweet, meet other local mums and chat. We’ll have a little play space set up for babies and toddlers, and little ones are very welcome to potter, play, feed, cuddle or nap while we’re together.
