FAQ

• Cancellation & Reschedule Policy.

  We understand things come up, especially when you are a mom-to-be or a new mom. To provide you with flexibility we do allow your 6 class package to be taken anytime within 90 days. This allows plenty of time slots to schedule your classes around life as things pop up.

  We do have a strict 24 hour notice period to cancel or reschedule your class. Any class cancelled less than 24 hours will be forfeited.

  Any no-show to a class will be forfeited.

  Any 6 class packages not used within the 90 day period will be forfeited.

  We have limited space and our classes can book out, to be fair to all our class attendees and instructors the 24 hour notice period is non negotiable.

• What is this class for?

  Pelvic Floor Core and Restore is a workout that builds strength and endurance. Our workouts offer challenging and varied exercises, that require little or no special equipment but that are safe and effective for both pregnancy and postpartum.

• How old should my baby before I attend? 

  You should be at least 6 weeks postpartum and have the all-clear from your doctor.

• How long are the sessions?

  The Pelvic Floor Core & Restore sessions are 45 mins long. You are free to go at your own pace, stop when your body tells you to or if your baby needs your attention.

• Do I need to be at a certain fitness level to attend these classes?

  No! You are a postnatal mother and we are here firstly to support your return to exercise. Our classes are for new moms of any fitness level. It does not matter whether you have exercised before or not. Starting to exercise after a baby will feel different and we want to help you have fun and enjoy the class with your baby. You exercise at the rate and pace that you are comfortable with.

• What should I wear?

  A well-fitted sports bra is any new mother’s best friend! Comfortable stretchy layers of clothing and supportive running/walking shoes are best for most fitness classes but in the pelvic floor core restore class you may be asked to remove your shoes to protect the yoga mats and keep them clean especially when you have your little one with you.

• What equipment do I need?

  A very well fitted sports bra if that counts as equipment. You may want to bring a towel and water for yourself and for the baby bring all the usual items but also a blanket to place them on during the class.

  Due to space restrictions we ask that you leave your stroller at home or in your car. As we have a small space, we unfortunately cannot accommodate strollers. They cannot be left outside either as they will be blocking the access to the building. Please bring baby in a car seat or in a baby carrier.

• What if my baby cries?

  Our classes take place in a studio specifically designed for purpose, led by experienced instructors and taken by fellow new moms and moms to be. You are in a safe place where everyone around you understands that all babies cry. At any time that your baby needs your attention you are free to stop and give them the care and attention that they need for however long they need it.

• What happens if I need to feed my baby?

  Please, stop and feed your baby at any time that you need to. To minimize feedings for the duration of your class we suggest offering your baby a feed before your session starts.

• What if this is my first exercise after having a baby?

  You know your body best so do what feels right for you. Don’t overexert yourself, as movements you did before the baby will feel very different post-baby. Consider taking our postnatal yoga (mom & baby yoga) classes or stroller fit classes as another option in the introduction of a fitness regime. Ensure that you get the all clear from your Doctor or midwife before resuming exercise of any nature. Its important that your body has recovered sufficiently from pregnancy and birth before starting any fitness activity.

• Where is the class held?

  All our fitness classes are held in our yoga studio, unit 105, 2525 Old Bronte Rd, Oakville. We have a beautiful tailored space with mirrors, yoga mats, resistance bands etc.

  For the little ones we have a diaper changing table in our washroom so that you can change their diaper as needed.

  We have ample free parking but the car park is usually very busy so we advise arriving early to your class so that you have plenty time to park and get settled before the class starts.
