Online pilates for postpartum body/diastasis recti

[SainteCroissante]

Hi all!

I'm 3 months postpartum after my second DC, and desperately want to try and get my core strength back - and improve my diastasis recti.

I saw a physiotherapist who also recommended pilates exercises, but I realized I cannot (read as: don't have the discipline) do exercises at home, unless I can follow a video. (Learned that after my first pregnancy...)

Any recommendations for Pilates teachers that have online classes/videos specifically for my situation? (Both free or paying is fine.)

I used Girl on a Pilates Mat during the lockdowns, but having done Pilates for years, I strongly suggest doing some classes. It is very easy to be slightly out of alignment and not to get the benefit. Around here there are a couple of Physios who run classes and someine like that might be your best bet.

I did these and they were super. They're done by a physiotherapist, not labelled as Pilates but similar in the repetition of small controlled movements. Genuinely life changing for my post baby body each time!!

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! I'll be checking all of these out!

@Folkadots I agree that an in-person class is really great to ensure proper posture and alignment, but baby and parent Pilates classes are hard to find (and not always very efficient if the wee one decides otherwise), so to have a chance at exercising regularly I definitely need something to fit in at-home.
