In this episode of The Pilates Lounge podcast, host Katie Crane sits down with Alice Johnstone, a passionate postnatal Pilates coach on a mission to revolutionise postnatal care for women. Alice opens up about her own journey with Pilates, which began after facing challenges during and after her pregnancies—including C-sections and pelvic floor issues. Together, they chat about the common misconceptions around postnatal recovery, the importance of personalised care, and how Pilates can empower women to rebuild their strength and confidence after childbirth.

Alice also shares her seven-step process for postnatal rehabilitation, focusing on each woman’s unique journey. They touch on breathwork, body awareness, the effects of multiple pregnancies, and the critical role of community support for both instructors and clients.
