Pregnancy & postnatal Pilates in Northampton
Prenatal Reformer, postnatal recovery & Diastasis Recti support.
Where Viva Core started. Specialist small-group pregnancy Reformer in Northampton town, and a weekly prenatal Mat class at the Elgar Centre in Upton. Safe, informed movement designed around your body and your stage, including dedicated Diastasis Recti assessment and recovery.
Pre- and postnatal is where Viva Core began
Viva Core started as a dedicated pregnancy and postnatal practice, and it's still the work closest to our heart. BASI-qualified, with specialist pre- and postnatal training and a Diastasis Recti assessment focus, We’ve supported hundreds of women through pregnancy, birth recovery and returning to strength.
Classes stay small, a maximum of four, so we can see you properly, adapt as your body changes, and make sure every session leaves you feeling stronger and more like yourself.

Why we ask for a commitment
Pregnancy and postnatal work builds session on session
Reformer classes run on a monthly membership and the Upton Mat class is sold in blocks of six, not to lock you in, but because meaningful change through pregnancy and postnatal recovery needs consistency. A minimum of 4 (Reformer) or 6 (Mat) sessions gives us the runway to actually make a difference in your body.
