Restoring Strength After Motherhood
How Pure Barre supports healing ab separation, pelvic floor recovery, and building your village
Motherhood changes everything — including our bodies. For many women, pregnancy can leave lasting effects on the core and pelvic floor. Ab separation (known as diastasis recti) is extremely common, as are pelvic floor concerns like leaking, weakness, or discomfort. These issues are nothing to be ashamed of — they’re a natural result of growing and delivering a baby.
But here’s the good news: you can heal, you can regain strength, and you can feel like yourself again. Pure Barre is uniquely designed to support women through this important chapter.
How Pure Barre Helps Heal Ab Separation
Diastasis recti occurs when the connective tissue between your abdominal muscles stretches and thins during pregnancy. Traditional crunches and sit-ups can make this worse — but Pure Barre’s core work is intentionally designed to be low-impact, small, and safe for rebuilding strength.
Small, controlled movements help activate the deep transverse abdominals that function like a natural corset, gently pulling the abs back together.
Neutral spine work and targeted cues prevent strain on healing tissue.
Progression-friendly format lets you work at your level and gradually increase intensity as your core gets stronger.
Many of our postpartum members have noticed that after just a few months of consistent barre, they feel more supported, more stable, and more confident in their own skin.
Pelvic Floor Benefits
The pelvic floor is often overlooked, but it’s crucial to everything from bladder control to posture. Pure Barre’s focus on mind-to-muscle connection means you learn to activate and release your pelvic floor in harmony with your core.
We use breath work cues to help you engage correctly (exhale = lift, inhale = release).
Standing and seated exercises strengthen without bearing down or adding pressure.
Our low-impact approach is ideal for rebuilding without the risk of overloading recovering muscles.
It’s not just a workout — it’s functional rehabilitation you can feel in your everyday life.
More Than a Workout: A Community for Moms
Healing is about more than physical strength — it’s about support, encouragement, and knowing you’re not alone. Pure Barre Aledo and SFW are full of women at every stage of motherhood: new moms taking their first class back, moms of toddlers finding their energy again, moms of teens rediscovering themselves and moms to be!
When you walk into class, you’re surrounded by a community that gets it. The woman next to you may have been exactly where you are a year ago and can share what helped her. Others may be a few steps ahead in their journey, encouraging you to keep showing up.
Our studios have become a place where moms not only get stronger but also find friendship, advice, and reassurance that what you’re going through is normal — and temporary.
