Ho absolutely wonderful to see Leah here. She was my teacher/instructor 3 years ago now? A great teacher, and wonderful mentor who has always managed to find time for my silly questions and comments over the years!! Congrats on the upcoming Pilates baby Leah! Hope to see more of you here .

What a great class! Thank you. I did this with my daughter-in-law who is 5 months post baby. She loved it. We wonder though what you suggest for mothers who had quite a bit of tearing, where would you have them start with exercises. She cannot yet do a roll up, etc. I have taught her to "scoop" and "engage" transverse abs and obliques, is there more I should encourage her to try. We tried a level one class and she cannot quite do it yet. Thanks

Sandy,

So sorry for the late response. It sounds like you have started your daughter-in-law at the right pace, particularly with the tearing. Nice and slow is the way to go. At 7 months post partum now - you could also incorporate some nice ball exercises - pelvic tilts, circles, leg lifts etc to continue to help the pelvic floor muscles engage as they are healing. I used a lot of these exercises in my pre-natal ball class.
