Healing Your Core & Pelvic Floor Right After Birth, Join Us At Mama Roots Collective

Class Description

Healing Your Core and Pelvic Floor After Birth in San Francisco: Led by a pelvic floor therapist, this gentle, supportive class is designed to help you reconnect with your body in the early weeks after birth. Through guided breathwork, simple movements, and practical education on core and pelvic floor recovery — including support for diastasis recti and pelvic floor dysfunction — you'll begin restoring your core in a way that feels safe, nurturing, and aligned with your body's natural healing process. This is not about "bouncing back," but about building awareness, reducing strain, and supporting long-term postpartum recovery, whether you're healing from a vaginal or cesarean birth. In addition to movement, this class creates space for connection and community with other new mothers navigating similar experiences. You'll have time to check in, ask questions, and leave with simple, realistic tools you can use in your daily life — from feeding and holding your baby to getting out of bed with more ease and support.


Who this is for: Mother with or without baby

**Recommended for mothers between 0-5 weeks postpartum or beyond (virtual class)
