Return Right - Post Natal Exercise and Education
Post Natal Exercise should be a Holistic Educational Experience so that you can now understand your new you and thrive in one of the most understated recovery periods of your life
Return Right Post Natal Exercise Program Options
Foundation - Education and Fitness
Advanced - Strength and Fitness
Located in our private studio, in Rotorua, we offer a nurturing environment where you can focus on rebuilding your fitness the right way by encompassing Pelvic Floor, Core, Glutes, and Back strength — areas often weakened during pregnancy, childbirth and in the post natal phase.
A small group setting where you also get your adult conversation fix as well as bringing your baby to a safe clean environment.
This is a great present for a new mama, so you can definitely sign her up as well.
I highly recommend starting with the Foundation program first, regardless of the age of your baby as that is the building blocks and sets you up forever.
Return Right Foundation - Education and Fitness
Start anytime from 3 weeks post-birth provided you can drive and lift your baby in a car seat.
This is designed for those early post natal mama's. You'll begin your healing and restrengthening journey.

-
Weeks 1-4 - The first 4 weeks involves education session's around Pelvic Floor, Core Connection, Glutes and then Upper Body changes that that occur during and after pregnancy, we then work on activating these areas as well as releasing area's that may feel a bit tight or causing soreness.
-
Recap emails to help you remember what we went over and the class can be recorded and uploaded so you can revisit and practice, because its a lot of information and practice really does make perfect.

The first few weeks can be done via Zoom as very low intensity and more about recovery then anything else. Its more about the education side of it at this stage if you are very early post Natal.

TESTIMONIALS
I did the 8 week postpartum recovery program and highly recommend! I started 3 weeks after my first baby. Kirsty is very knowledgeable, explains whats happening with any aches and pains. Work outs were really good, we were taught how to do them correctly incorporating our pelvic floor and told how they work. We could bring our babies along so it was really good to get used to taking baby out and about! Kirsty was also good and looking after the babies when they became unsettled to allow us mums to carry on with our workout.
Class Participant
"Kirsty is a wealth of knowledge for all things exercise and post partum related. I couldn't recommend her online classes and Return Right Exercise program more for any mum wanting to kickstart their return to exercise and learn a tonne about how their body went through during pregnancy and is continuing to recover from. As an active person I found I learnt a tonne from Kirsty, including small things to implement before exercising to get the most out of a session whether it be a walk, weights or run. Kirsty has a fun and contagiously positive personality to guide through the the fun post partum /exercise related topics and I highly recommend her and Bootiful Fitness to any mum wanting to get safely back to being active or improve where they are at physically."
