Designed with young mums in mind, these classes are a warm, welcoming space for women who are ready to return to exercise — gently, intelligently, and with support.

+++

Whether you’re a few months, or a few years, postpartum, these small group sessions are designed to honour your journey while helping you reconnect to your strength, energy, and body confidence.

Led by Chris Hardy, personal trainer and embodiment coach, each session blends simple strength training with breath-led core work, pelvic floor awareness, mobility, and playful movement.

We focus on real-world fitness and deep presence — no pressure, comparison, or expectation to ‘bounce back’!

Ok ok. I’ll be honest… underlying motivations for this post are -—->

1/3 showing off* 🙋‍♂️
1/3 marketing upcoming handstand classes 💰
1/3 asking for genuine technique guidance 📚

* what’s a better word for ‘showing off’ that encapsulates humble pride at the dedication it’s taken me (/someone) to get to this point? Like a kid showing their project to the class - I’m proud, and want you to see. 🧐 💭

DM for class schedule starting September 2025. Only 4 spots available to join a six person group. Handstanding involves so many integrated elements;

Strength
Mobility
Core stability
Co-ordination
Courage
Dedication
(Anything I missed???)

Functional movement and lasting strength?

These will come through consistent mobility warm down routines. Never miss this part of your workout.

(Or you’ll be in trouble and have to sit on the naughty step.)

Turkish getup anybody? I know; it’s such a hassle to learn, but it’s SO GOOD for your body…

Here’s why:

- those funny angles hit your stabilizer muscles
- your hip and shoulder mobility is worked
- off-centre core strength is activated

Learning this move is an essential for long-lasting health and functional strength.

I’m teaching this kind of exercise every Wednesday afternoon at 4:30 and at 6 PM at the Bristol cooperative gym at Saint Ann’s house.

Come along and try. First class is for free!!

Morning folks! 👋

Ever felt that your morning routine was more of a hassle than a support? 📋🫣

My new favorite way to navigate the morning is not to have a routine or a set of prescribed things I need to do. Instead, I like to have a menu of options; activities that I know nourish me, get me in my body and prepare me to meet the world. 🌎

My new favorite activity is to repot my pilea plants which seem to be growing like crazy in my sunny apartment. 🌱🌞

What would you your top three items on your menu of ‘Good Options for the Morning’?

List yours here. Best responses get a free pilea plant!!!

@amandadinglecoaching, @rebelsouls_consciouscollective, @rehubbristol @iamcharlottefoxx @gm_mariya woukd love to know what you have on your menus! taken in Bristol, United Kingdom by @chrisehardy

Come and embrace your inner wild one, the animal part of us that (occasionally) needs to be invited to the table.

After establishing safety and guidelines we’ll enter into a non-verbal space for 45mins letting ourselves be wild, wonderful, crazy and caring.

The Wild One is an archetype I’ve been bringing to Men’s retreats for the past two years. This is a great opportunity to dive in at one of the UK’s best festivals!

Thanks for having me @buddhafielduk and gratitude for @menspedition where I could develop this work.

Whose coming!?!?
