Hey beautiful mummas,

We have created something extra special just for you. Our postpartum movement program combines the best of Pilates and Yoga to bring you a thoughtful, balanced, and love-filled program you can enjoy from the comfort of your home.

Since launching the Movement Society online, we have had four pregnancies and four babies. This has given us a greater understanding of how it feels to move whilst pregnant and what your body needs to recover and rebuild safely and confidently. We’re here for you every step of the way. This program is made for you, by us—with so much love.

Love Elise & Sophie x

TESTIMONIALS

WOW. Being a Pilates devotee who recently had two births (twins—one natural and one C-section), I had to transition slowly back into movement. Elise’s MVMT Society has always been my go-to for precision Pilates, as her flows hit those tiny muscles no one else quite does. With limited time to myself and a body that needed gentle but consistent movement, I was lucky Elise created The Postnatal Program just in time to guide me back into fitness. The flows felt so GOOD—doable even in the earliest of days while also increasingly challenging to keep us progressing while healing. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I LOVED the yoga flows. The entire collection is perfectly balanced and curated for the recovering mum. I recommend it to all my postnatal clients and friends.

I am so pleased with myself for continuing Movement Society online Pilates until I was 30 weeks pregnant. Maintaining my core strength not only kept me feeling mobile, it allowed me to carry the extra weight of the baby that was pushing on my pelvis. I was even more pleased when my postpartum pelvic floor check showed that I had full engagement and minimal stomach separation, 100% attributed to my ongoing Pilates throughout pregnancy (according to the physio).

Movement Society has been with me through so many stages of my fitness journey. Rebuilding strength after my second child, assisting with recovery from women’s health issues, and now keeping me strong throughout my third pregnancy.

Like having friends in your living room working out with you, Movement serves up a never-ending library of epic, peach punishing workouts. I curse Elise's name throughout and then thank her at the end. Being able to select multiple 10-minute workouts when the babies sleeping and I don’t know how long I’ve got, or getting stuck into a 40 minute session when I’ve got all the time in the world, I love the flexibility and freedom the platform brings.

When I’ve got something specific, I want to work on or need some inspo Elise is always happy to send through her suggestions, personalising this program to perfection. The best investment of my time, energy and dollars on fitness to date!

I was really strong before getting pregnant, but pregnancy hit me like a ton of bricks! After an emergency C-section, I felt like I was starting from scratch with fitness, especially my core. I was overwhelmed and intimidated by the idea of starting again and couldn't even feel my abs engage until I started with Elise. The Postnatal program changed my life! Elise’s nurturing approach made me feel supported every step of the way. Now, at 6 months postpartum, my core is stronger, my posture has improved, and I am back running!

Sascha

"I recommend Movement Society to everyone! The variety of classes is incredible—each sequence is so thoughtfully crafted that even on lazy days, I find myself wanting more. Elise's precise and smart cueing is so spot-on that I could do the classes with my eyes closed. With a range of class lengths, I can always find one that fits into my day.

During my pregnancy, it was the only workout I did, and I credit Elise and her classes for my speedy postpartum recovery and a much stronger core than I ever anticipated! After giving birth, Movement Society was the first workout I returned to, knowing I was in safe hands with Elise guiding my recovery. Now, at five months postpartum, I'm feeling incredibly strong while caring for my 17-pound baby.

Even from across the world in San Francisco, I felt truly taken care of by Elise throughout this journey, and I am forever grateful!"

Eve

I have done Elise's classes through both of my pregnancies and the postnatal period. I love being able to move in a way that not only feels safe and keeps me feeling strong but I also enjoy it so much! What sets Elise's workouts apart from other prenatal online classes I have done is that just because they are prenatal doesn't mean they are easy, she gets you into the burn zone, and I love that workouts can still feel challenging in this season.

Honestly, the classes are just the best, Elise's teaching is so good but I also love how real she is in the workouts! As a fitness instructor, I find myself picking other teachers (for exercise choices, cueing etc) but with Elises I always feel so immersed in the workout, there are no online Pilates classes that compare to hers! I also love Sophie's Yoga classes and have really loved the addition of them to the library and programs since my last pregnancy.

Eloise

Given it was my first child, I was shocked at how unstable my hips and pelvis felt after having a baby, but with Elise's guidance and recommendations of safe Movement videos, I slowly introduced my weekly practise from 6 weeks postpartum. Now at 4 months postpartum, I am doing classes daily and am feeling as strong as I did before pregnancy. I love how the low impact and customised pre and postnatal videos gave me the confidence to get moving again. Bub is very entertained at watching me on the mat too!

FAQ

Congratulations on bub! Members access all areas. Follow our curated Postnatal Movement Program here. You can also use the “Postnatal” filter within the library to ensure the classes you choose are safe and appropriate. If you ever want any further guidance, reach out to Elise and she will assist.

Yes, our Postnatal Programs includes specific exercises that help close the gap between the muscles safely and effectively.

Postnatal Program Stage 1 has been designed to support those early weeks and can be started before your 6-week check if YOU feel ready to move.

This 6-week program will ease you back into gentle movement once you feel ready to move post-birth. It will introduce gentle movement and restorative stretches designed to support and help you navigate early postpartum. Remember to move slowly, carefully, and with a lot of kindness. Your body just did something incredible and it deserves to be treated with love.

The most common question! So it has traditionally been assumed that postpartum women should avoid exercise until their 6-8 weeks check-up. We now know that there are lots of movements that we can do before that are safe and beneficial to our recovery.

  • Postnatal Program Stage 1 has been designed to support those early weeks and can be started before your 6-week check if YOU feel ready to move.
  • Postnatal Program Stage 2, Burn with Bub and any other “postnatal” workouts within the library we recommending waiting until you have clearance to exercise (usually around 6-8 weeks).

But with that said, every pregnancy, birth and recovery is unique. For example, if you had an uncomplicated pregnancy and vaginal delivery, it’s generally safe to begin light movement a few days after giving birth or as soon as you feel ready. If you had a C-section, extensive vaginal repair or a complicated birth, your recovery time might be longer. It’s important to always listen to your body and start when YOU feel ready.

Of course, the programs and library can be used interchangeably. Use the Postnatal filter to choose workouts safe for postpartum. You will be spoiled for choice with 190+ postnatal safe workouts and more coming.

You will need:
– Mat
– Ball, Loop, Long Band and Gliders

Everything you need is inside our signature equipment pack, which you get FREE for a limited time when you sign up for our 3 Month Membership.

Absolutely. You can start the program at any stage of your postpartum journey. The postnatal program is a beautiful way to return to exercise and rebuild full-body strength and balance. Plus – you can transition seamlessly from our Postnatal classes and programs to our library once your body feels ready to progress. It’s never too late to start healing your body and prioritising yourself. You are going to love some well-deserved “me time”. 

Our goal was to create a seamless journey that you can follow from pregnancy to postpartum and beyond.
