The course isn’t disappearing.

But the discount is.

What you’re getting:

✅ Level 3 pre & postnatal qualification
✅ Built specifically for Pilates instructors

Hey lovely ones,
We’ve had a few questions come in about the Pre & Postnatal Pilates Qualification, so Lara and I have recorded a quick video answering them for you.
We cover things like start dates, payment plans, what’s included in Self-Study, how the assessment works, insurance and workshops.
If you’ve been sitting on the fence or just wanted a bit more clarity before deciding - this will help.
Have a watch, and if anything else comes up, just drop us a DM or comment below.
Just a reminder that the early bird pricing ends tomorrow at 10am, but you can join us any time. We’re not going anywhere!

Most pre & postnatal qualifications are a bit sheeet.
Let me tell you what's wrong with most of them.

They’re built for everyone.
Yoga teachers.
PTs.
Fitness instructors.
Group exercise coaches.
Zumba teachers.

And somewhere in there… oh yeah. Pilates instructors too.
Which means you spend half the bloody course translating.
“Don’t do sit-ups.”
– Ok… but what about Roll Up?
– Is Chest Lift the same?
– Why are we talking about deadlifts? I don’t even own a barbell.

It’s like learning French from a textbook written for Spanish speakers. Technically possible. Completely exhausting.

So we did something about it.
Lara and I built a Level 3 Pre & Postnatal Qualification designed specifically for Pilates instructors.
No translation required.
No generic fitness waffle.
No “movement professional” vagueness.

Just Pilates.
For Pilates teachers.
Teaching Pilates.

Here’s who’s behind it:
Lara – prenatal specialist, qualification lead, yoga teacher, massage therapist, Pilates instructor. Total anatomy geek. Handles the educational design, assessment and accreditation side (because she is brilliantly organised and I am… not).

Me – postnatal specialist. Creator of the Postnatal Core Rehab Method. Mum via IVF and two C-sections. I teach postnatal clients every single week. I care about what works in real life, not what looks pretty on Instagram.

Together, we built this to:
✓ Speak your language – Pilates repertoire, Pilates framework, Pilates context
✓ Combine proper education with real human support
✓ Give you insurance coverage and foundational confidence
✓ Set you up for deeper specialisation if – and only if – you want it

This qualification is designed to prepare you to teach straightforward prenatal and postnatal clients well – and to know exactly where your scope begins and ends.

It’s not a tick-box CPD.
It’s not corporate.
It’s not a portal you’re left alone with.
It’s two practising instructors teaching you what we actually do.

Options:
Self-Study – £297 early bird
Supported – £597 early bird (includes in-person workshops + real-life teaching practice)
Early bird ends Friday 13th at 10am.

After that it goes up by £200.
The course isn’t disappearing.
But the lower price is.

If you’ve been waiting for something that actually feels built for Pilates instructors – not generic, not “close enough” – this is it.

You know that moment when a client casually says:
“Oh by the way, I’ve just had a baby.”
or
“I’m about 8 weeks pregnant…”
…and your brain goes:
s**t – am I insured for this?
What do I actually need to avoid?
That gap between being qualified and feeling confident is exactly why this exists.
Pre & Postnatal Qualification for Pilates Instructors
A Level 3 pre & postnatal qualification designed specifically for Pilates instructors, awarded by Focus Awards and recognised by CIMSPA – so you can teach pregnant and postnatal clients calmly, safely, and with confidence.
✔ Pilates-specific guidance
✔ Clear adaptations and progressions
✔ Live practical workshop
✔ Printed exercise modifications pocket book for real-life teaching

Early bird pricing currently available until Friday

Turns out… you’re not alone 😅
Earlier this week I asked which type of Pilates instructor you are, and honestly?
Your answers were extremely telling.
A LOT of you are sitting firmly in:
– “I probably should have my pre & postnatal sorted by now”
– “Oh Christ, I need this for insurance”
– “I did one before and it was rubbish”
– “Postnatal is my thing – I just need to do it properly”
Which… tracks 😂
For the record, I’ve been:
– the Qualification Collector (hello dopamine)
– the 11pm insurance-panic Googler
– and the one who thought lived experience would somehow count
(spoiler: it does not)
So if you read that and thought, well… s**t – you’re very much in the right place.
On Monday, I’m launching something built specifically for Pilates instructors who want their pre & postnatal sorted properly –
no generic fitness nonsense, no winging it, no quiet “am I actually covered here?” anxiety.
If you want to hear about it, comment POSTNATAL below 👇
I’ll make sure you’re in the loop.

Right, confession time my lovelies 👀

I’ve been stalking – I mean, observing (!) – the Pilates instructors in my world, and I’ve realised you all fall into one of a few very specific categories.

So… little quiz time.

👉 Which one are you right now?
(Comment with the emoji 👇)

🍿 The Qualification Collector
Collecting courses like Pokémon. Might need it one day. Maybe.

😱 The Panic-Google Instructor
Pregnant client booked. Not insured. 11pm Google spiral.

🤯 The Disappointed Student
Did the pre & postnatal course. Still confused. Still Googling.

🎯 The Future Go-To Postnatal Instructor
Clear this is your future. You just need the right qualification in place.

👇 Drop the emoji in the comments – no judgement, I’ve been most of these.

I’ll share what this tells me (and what I’m doing about it) later this week.

And if you haven’t got your pre & postnatal qualification yet…
I’ve got something launching on Monday you’ll want to hear about.

(Already qualified? Kettle on. Ignore me ☕️)

I hear this all the time!

"They cancel last minute.
They don’t commit.
They won’t pay for 1:1s."

🚫 But I’m not convinced that’s actually the problem.

I think there’s a much more interesting (and uncomfortable) question hiding underneath it.

One that most instructors never stop to ask.

I’m going live on Wednesday 28th at 2pm (UK) in The Postnatal Pilates Facebook group to talk a belief that quietly keeps people stuck. So come and join me!
https://www.facebook.com/groups/postnatalpilatesinstructors

Before then, I’ll leave you with this:

Are postnatal clients “flaky”…
or are we making assumptions based on our own limits? 🤯

That’s it.
More on Wednesday.

All the love,

📄 Let’s talk about flyers for a sec 👀
Something that’s come up a lot inside PCRM recently is flyers.
Loads of instructors are creating them, tweaking them, overthinking them…
and quietly wondering why they’re not actually doing much.

So, a few important truths.
You don’t need flyers to run a successful Pilates business.
They can be useful – but they’re not compulsory.

And when flyers don’t work, it’s usually not because of:
Canva
fonts
colours
or pretty pictures

It’s because:
• the flyer is all about you, not your client
• Pilates is the headline, instead of the problem being solved
• it lists logistics but not outcomes
• and there’s no clear call to action – just an email address floating about

A good flyer isn’t about where the class takes place.
It’s about:
• a real client with a real problem
• them seeing themselves in your words
• and understanding how you can help them

Pilates isn’t the headline.
It’s the modality of support.

Inside PCRM, I shared a simple flyer checklist in our student Voxer group covering:
✔ what to definitely include
✖ what to leave out
⚠️ the most common mistakes that stop people booking

If you’re working on a flyer and want that checklist, just comment or message me with the word FLYER and I’ll send it over 💛

🔥 Spicy topic of the week: pelvic floor 🔥
I keep hearing the same thing from instructors:
“I know the theory of overactive vs underactive pelvic floor…
but I don’t actually know what that looks like in clients IRL.
And I’m terrified of getting it wrong.
Is it just… more Kegels?”
At the same time, I’m seeing loads of free pelvic floor workshops doing the rounds 👀 that:
• tell you everything you’re doing wrong
• make it sound wildly complicated
• tease some magical framework
• then quietly (or not so quietly) suggest you remortgage your house to get the answers
This seriously pi**es me off.
(Yes, I’m properly fired up.)
So I’ve started working on something to fix it.
Not a doom-and-gloom pelvic floor scare fest.
And definitely not a bait-and-switch.
Just something that helps instructors stop guessing and feel clearer about what they’re seeing and teaching.
It’ll be running at the end of March.
If you want the details when they’re ready, just comment or reply with PELVIC FLOOR and I’ll make sure you’re first to hear.
Right. I’m climbing off my soapbox now.
Happy Tuesday, you gorgeous lot 💛

For anyone still in a mince pie coma 👋
(Not another w&nky “new year, new you” message!)

I meant to be back in full swing this week… but between actual mornings again and icy pavements, I’ve nearly gone arse-over-tit on the school run more than once already. January, eh.

This time of year loves to ask:
What are you changing?
What are you adding?
What are you doing differently?
Which can quickly turn into:
“I need to do more.”
“I should be further along.”

Exhausting.

So this week, I’ve been flipping the question with clients.
Instead of what can I add?
I’m asking:
👉 What can I STOP doing?
Stop saying yes to the client that drains you.
Stop working in ways that leave you knackered.
Stop piling more onto an already full plate.

Because most of us don’t need another goal.
We need permission to let go.

If you’re easing into the year feeling behind or out of sync – you’re not fu***ng anything up. You’re human. And you don’t need to fix everything in January.

Sometimes the most powerful shift is deciding what you’re done with 💛

Tell me: If this year was about letting go instead of adding… what would you stop doing?

I know I’ve been talking about the Bridging the Diastasis Gap workshop a lot lately 😅
But I’ve already had a few messages today from instructors asking if they can still get the replay…

So I thought I’d check in, if I shared the link to grab it, would you want it?
It was such a cracking session, loads of lightbulb moments and practical takeaways.

👇 Let me know if you’d like the link and I’ll pop it in the comments.

15/10/2025

🚨 Final reminder! 🚨
Bridging the Diastasis Gap goes live tomorrow at 11am (UK) - and then it’s gone.
No more sign-ups.
No more replay access.
No more excuses.
I’m not running another Diastasis Workshop this year 👀
So if you’ve been putting it off, ask yourself…
🔥 Am I really confident training postnatal clients?
🔥 Do I actually know how to assess and modify for Diastasis?
🔥 Or am I still hesitating, guessing, and hoping I’m doing it right?
Because here’s the thing:
💡 Your postnatal clients aren’t waiting for you to “figure it out later.”
💡 They need help NOW.
💡 And they’re trusting you to know what the hell you’re doing.
If you’re even a little unsure - this workshop is for you.
🎓 Bridging the Diastasis Gap Workshop
📅 Thursday 16th October, 11am UK
💰 £37 | 🎥 5-day replay | 🏅 CPD Certified
👉Click here to grab your spot: https://yourtimepilates.thrivecart.com/diastasisworkshop/
Don’t be the instructor who wishes they’d taken action - be the one who knows exactly what to do next time a postnatal client walks in.
