Coffee Afternoon: Returning to Exercise with Confidence

Coffee, cake, little ones and a really useful chat about 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 be joining us for an informal and supportive chat about returning to exercise postpartum and feeling more confident moving your body again.

We’ll be covering topics including:

✨ When and how to return to exercise safely

✨ How to progress with confidence

✨ Breathing techniques to support your core and pelvic floor

✨ Understanding diastasis recti and what it means for exercise

✨ Fuelling your body while exercising during motherhood

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

This isn’t a workout class, so there’s no pressure to exercise! Gill may take us through a few simple practical demonstrations, so we’d recommend wearing something comfortable if you’d like to join in.

And, as always, there’ll be plenty of time to simply have a coffee, 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 chat — however the afternoon looks for you.
