A Pilates class designed for new mums and dads. This is a relaxed and welcoming session that gives you the chance to move your body and bring your baby along.
Babies are very much part of the session, and you’re free to pause at any time to feed, cuddle or settle them. The class is suitable for babies age 0 to crawling and there’s no pressure — just a supportive space where real life (and little ones!) are always welcome.
The class is led by Marjo, a pre- and postnatal certified instructor, so it’s particularly suitable for mums returning to exercise after giving birth. Sessions focus on rebuilding core strength, pelvic floor support and overall stability in a safe and progressive way. Dads are warmly encouraged to join too — this is a space for all parents and carers.
Expect gentle yet effective Pilates exercises, a friendly atmosphere and the reassurance that you’re among others who understand this stage of life.
After class, you’re warmly invited to stay and chat with other parents in the lovely Open House café — a perfect opportunity to connect, share experiences and enjoy a well-earned cuppa.
We can’t wait to welcome you and your baby!

Marjo’s Pilates journey started when she was a teenager, when her figure skating coach signed her up for classes to support training on the ice. Although she didn’t start off as the most enthusiastic Pilates student, to her own (and her teacher’s) surprise, once she started to get a grasp of the movements, enjoy the mind-body connection and flow of the practice, Pilates classes turned into one of the highlights of her week. Although she didn’t manage to stay fully injury-free, she believes the consistent Pilates practice helped her recover and go into professional skating.
Marjo wants to share the joy of flow and help people enjoy activities they love through providing tools for free movement and moving confidently, for as long as possible. And to stand a little taller!
