Jessica Yes, Prenatal classes are great for postpartum as well, but as always it depends on your individual situation and of course, the content of the class you want to do. One of the best elements of Prenatal Pilates that should be carried into the postpartum period, particularly the early postpartum period, are modifications & variations to the abdominal work, as for the first few months, traditional Pilates abdominal exercises should still be modified. As to when you begin Pilates again, light movements and breathing can begin with in a few days. Check out my early postnatal mat classes from my second pregnancy, they have really great, safe exercises for new moms
