This 40-minute baby-wearing postnatal exercise class to music is brought to you by Karen Ellis, a postnatal recovery expert and ex-midwife, and hosted by the lovely Alice Hall from Bristol Girls Can who did Karen's workouts online for 3.5 years with both of her babies and a pregnancy!  We would love for you to join us for this class and have a cuppa with us afterwards. Come and join us to learn how to recover your body after having a baby and exercise safely. There will be an opportunity to ask any specific questions about your pelvic floor recovery, stomach muscle healing, exercising after having a baby, babywearing and becoming more active in the local area afterwards over a cuppa. This is your chance to create a special memory with your baby—joining a baby-wearing exercise class designed just for you and link up with other local mums. Note: Please ensure you’re at least 6 weeks postnatal after a vaginal birth or 10 weeks after a C-section, with your health professional's approval to exercise. What to Expect This 40-minute class is set to upbeat, feel-good music and is all about lifting your mood. Expect the instructor to bring energy and fun as you laugh, smile and feel great being in a room full of mums who understand what you’re going through. We’ll start with a warm-up to ease into things, followed by a track focusing on connecting with your pelvic floor and lower abdominal muscles. From there, we’ll move into the main part of the class—designed to get you moving at a pace that feels right for you. You’ll be encouraged to listen to your body and join in as much or as little as you feel comfortable. I’ll provide different levels of movement throughout the workout, so whether you’re running on minimal sleep and want to keep things gentle, or you’re ready for a more advanced workout, this class will meet you where you’re at. And, of course, breaks are welcome anytime! What You’ll Need Please ensure your baby carrier is secure. You’re welcome to drop Karen a message on social about your specific carrier before the class if you’re unsure—it’s important that both you and your baby are comfortable. Find her on socials @karenpostrehabWear comfortable clothes that you can move easily in and bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.If you’d like, you can also bring small hand weights (0.5kg or 1kg), but this is entirely optional.After Class Stick around for a cuppa, chat with other mums, and pick Karen's or Alice's brains! As a former midwife with 12 years of experience helping mums recover their pelvic floor, heal their stomach muscles, and exercise safely after birth, Karen is here to answer your questions. Whether it’s about your pelvic floor, Diastasis Recti (separation of stomach muscles), pelvic girdle pain, back pain, or postnatal exercise, this is a great opportunity to get the advice you need. Alice will also be around at the end as a local mum to two who has managed to get exercise into her life and, as part of Bristol Girls Can, can help you find local ways to get more active.

This class is led by me, an ex-midwife with over 12 years of experience helping mums recover after birth. I’ve supported countless women in rebuilding their pelvic floor, healing abdominal separation, and safely returning to exercise. You’ll not only get a fantastic workout but also expert guidance tailored to the unique needs of your postnatal body. In this session, I’ll touch on all of the topics above and provide time afterward for you to ask me any questions. However, fully recovering your body after birth takes more than a single class. For a step-by-step approach to rebuilding strength and confidence, you might consider joining The Postnatal Recovery Membership: https://www.karenpostrehab.co.uk/full-online-membership. This is also a one-off Baby-Wearing Exercise Class—and it’s FREE! Don’t miss this chance to try something fun, unique, and designed just for you and your baby. Book your spot now! Who Is the Instructor? I’m Karen, a midwife-turned-postnatal recovery specialist, and I’m exactly where I’m meant to be—helping new mums build a post-baby body they feel strong and confident in. I’m here to help you stay dry in your knickers and build a core of steel so you can be the active mum you’ve always wanted to be. I don’t believe in quick fixes when it comes to postnatal fitness. Your body is precious and deserves to be nurtured back to fitness in its own time. For some, that might take 21 days; for others, 21 months—and that’s perfectly okay. There’s no rush. When done right, your recovery will serve you for the rest of your life. I’m a mum to a 10-year-old and an 18-year-old, living in beautiful Brotton, Saltburn-by-the-Sea, on the North East Coast. This is where I became a midwife. After several years of feeling disheartened by a system that didn’t allow me to give women the care they truly deserved, I trained in postnatal and antenatal fitness and baby-wearing. Now, I’m able to support new mums in my own way. This isn’t just a typical exercise class—it’s designed specifically for mums like you. Every move in this class is tailored to the unique needs of the postnatal body, taking special care of your pelvic floor, abdominal muscles, and overall recovery. Whether you’re rebuilding strength, addressing Diastasis Recti, or just looking for a fun way to bond with your baby, this class has been created with you in mind. Who is Alice Hall From Bristol Girls Can? I’m Alice, I have two young daughters who keep me very busy but entertained. I used to be a primary school teacher and Special Needs Coordinator in South Bristol. I really enjoy being active and finding new ways to play and learn with the girls. My new role is working with mums in Filwood to understand what activities are taking place and what could be done to help people be more active in the area by trying to remove any barriers. I find physical activity really helps reduce a sense of being overwhelmed at everything there is to do, every day. My head feels much clearer on the days I walk or cycle compared to days when I drive. Above all, I want to be strong to be able to be active with my kids.  I realised after my 2nd maternity leave that staying active was much harder with two children than with just one and I really noticed my energy levels dropping. I did a programme to kick start some healthy eating habits and started getting up early to fit in short strength training sessions before everyone else gets up. Quite quickly I saw huge improvements in my confidence, fitness and wellbeing. I would like to help others start this journey, with whatever small steps they can make. What Are You Waiting For? Don’t wait—secure your spot today for this one-of-a-kind Baby-Wearing Exercise Class! It’s FREE, fun, and designed to leave you feeling empowered, uplifted, and strong. Can’t make it to the live session? No problem! You can still join in by signing up to receive a playback of a recorded online class, delivered straight to your inbox.

Loved every aspect of this museum. Firstly, it doesn&#39;t feel like just one museum. There is an actual SS Great Britain exhibition, with so much to learn about the ship, before even stepping foot on it.&nbsp;
