What To Expect From Your Mums That Move Pilates Class…
It’s about time that you treated yourself! At Zing Wellness, we know that all mums need time for themselves. You deserve a moment to press pause on the everyday chaos of family life and escape for an hour of ‘me time’.
Mums That Move is a half-termly course of restorative, challenging and strengthening Pilates classes, designed to follow on from the Core Care & Pelvic Floor Repair classes – perfect for when your children are a bit (or a lot!) older.
Mums that Move allows you to focus on your mind/body connection and release tension in the body. If you want to build a connection with your pelvic floor and core strength and function, this is the class for you. It is also ideal if you have a weak or hypertonic pelvic floor, are suffering any urinary incontinence, have a diastasis recti, a prolapse, lower back pain or any post-pregnancy niggles.
Even better than that, it allows you an hour a week of dedicated time to breathe, move and be in the company of fabulous Harpenden women!
This class builds on the themes introduced in the Core Care & Pelvic Floor Repair course. We embed them through practice, practice and more practice! We continue to focus on crucial breath work; connecting with your pelvic floor and your deep abdominals; and learning how to strengthen and relax them.
We take the breath work a step further and apply it to functional exercise to strengthen and tone the body. We all know that being a mum is hard work! It requires us to be strong, agile and proficient in lifting, pushing, pulling, squatting and lunging. It’s non-stop!
Mums That Move classes incorporate seated, standing and floor work. We make use of small equipment such as massage balls, fascial release balls, therabands, wobble cushions, overballs and foam rollers. This means that classes are always varied, interesting and fun.
You are welcome to join the class without having done my Core Care & Pelvic Floor Repair or Move & Bloom classes but it’s a good idea to book a 1-2-1 session with me before the course starts.
You can expect the usual beneficial access to a closed Facebook group and your class’s WhatsApp group where you can touch base with other mums and build your community of support.
As well as your weekly class, you’ll have access to the Zing Wellness All Members’ Area of the website. Here you’ll find a huge library of pre-recorded Pilates classes, relaxation/hypnosis tracks and expert interviews with some of the people we trust the most.

FAQs
Can I join this Pilates class? It’s best if you are an existing client who has completed the Pelvic Floor and Core Course (either group or 1-2-1) before joining Mums That Move. It’s also fine for you if you attended my Pilates for Mum (with babies) class with Grace Lillywhite, while I was on maternity leave. If not, a couple of 1-2-1 sessions with me will usually get you up to speed.
How many spaces are there in the Pilates class? There will be 10 places in the class to ensure you get lots of individual attention.
Can I bring my baby to the Pilates class? No: this is your time!
Can anyone do your Pilates class? There are some medical conditions that will require medical consent for you to exercise. I will send you a health screening form to complete before you come for your first session.
What do I wear to the Pilates class? Please wear comfortable clothing including socks.
What do I need to bring to the Pilates class? Please bring some water, a mat and any small equipment you have from the Pilates equipment bundle above. This can be purchased from the Zing Wellness online shop.
If my children aren’t babies anymore is this Pilates class still relevant for me? Yes, of course! The course is relevant, regardless of how old your children are. Also, if you have any concerns with your pelvic floor function, have diastasis recti or a weak core, this is for you!
