Service Description

This pilates course is designed for postpartum parents to attend along with their little ones. We have space for the babies to roam while you work on regaining strength after pregnancy and birth! Tuesday mornings 10.30-11.30am Waterview Community Hub (EXCEPT 27 OCT and 3 NOV which are at different venues because of voting). BYO mats NEW REGISTRATION AND PAYMENT OPTIONS Casual: $24 per session 4-week block: $80 ($20 per session) 8-week block: $136 ($17 per session) IF BOOKING FOR ONLY A FEW SESSIONS, PLEASE LET US KNOW WHICH DATES YOU'RE HOPING/PLANNING TO ATTEND. Shani Dickins, our lovely instructor, is an Imperfect Parent herself, so knows the juggle of trying to make time for yourself while also caring for pēpi. She also has a very personal understanding of the intense physical demands of pregnancy, birth and parenting, and the recovery required. Shani has been teaching pilates for over 12 years, with a movement background that began in contemporary dance. Shani also teaches trauma-informed somatics - a body-first approach to healing. We are so excited to have her joining the Imperfect Parents team so we can finally offer our community some whānau-friendly movement options!

Cancellation Policy

If you cancel your spot more than 5 days before the beginning of the term you will be refunded the full amount you have paid, minus a $50 admin fee. If you cancel once the term has started, refunds will be negotiated at our discretion. (Exceptions are made for exceptional circumstances). If you or your baby are sick, we ask that you please stay home for the protection of the other group members. Unfortunately we cannot reimburse for missed sessions. If the facilitator is sick/needs to take leave, we will do our best to arrange cover so the group can go ahead. If we cannot arrange cover, we will endeavour to arrange a makeup session but cannot always guarantee that we will be able to do this.

"I really appreciated having a regular space to come to each week where I was guaranteed support. I loved how the questions each week made me reflect on aspects of parenting/life I might not have otherwise thought about. I truly look forward to our group days!"
