ONE thing that is very unique to mamalates is that it is VERY educational and safe for new moms. Consider it proper birth recovery. Have you ever noticed how most postpartum Pilates programs/DVD's have a new mom of 6 weeks postpartum jacking her neck up by performing the HUNDREDS as a WARM UP? OUCH! As new moms in almost constant fexion, lacking proper shoulder girdle stabilization (Or awareness!- especially after a C-section) our upper traps and necks are over firing constantly. The last thing we need is to EXERCISE this way! I suggest simple modifications that can actually recruit your transversus more! Place a small ball or pillow under your head- no need to lift it! If you MUST do single leg kick, keep your legs high to prevent increasing your low back pain that you are probably experiencing as new mom. And above all, PLEASE, invite your pelvic floor into each and every exercise? It's all in my DVD and complete kit and you can sample it on youtube. Thanks Robert!
