Learn more about Evlo Postpartum

Postpartum exercise is more than “getting back.” It’s a unique opportunity to reconnect with your body in a way you never have before. 

Our 4-week program is designed to improve pelvic floor stability and strength, progressively load your core, and strengthen your entire body. 

By the end of four weeks, you’ll be more connected to your body, feel stronger lifting your babies, move with more control, and be ready to keep building muscle.

You’ll have laid the foundation to not just get back to your pre-pregnancy self, but to get stronger than you’ve ever been.

Start Free Trial
We start at the foundation. We’ll retrain your breathing, pelvic floor, and deep core, building the essential connections that support every movement. We’ll work your entire body and teach you how to properly engage your pelvic floor while you work your arms and legs.
  • Stability-driven, mat-based classes
  • Short sessions designed for time-restricted, sleep-deprived moms
  • Gentle but powerful to lay the groundwork for everything to come

What to expect

Week 1: Reconnect

Once the foundation is set, we’ll add resistance and complexity, preparing your body to tolerate more challenge. We’ll add load to upper body lifts and introduce standing lower body movements with bodyweight.
  • Progressed core work
  • More challenging lifts
  • A careful balance of effort and recovery

Week 2: Add load

This week, we’ll train closer to failure in floor-based lifts and introduce weights to standing lifts, We’ll keep the volume low and the classes short so you can assess how your body is responding and recovering. 
  • Low volume to support recovery
  • Dynamic abdominal movements in small ranges of motion
  • Increased confidence in raising the intensity

Week 3: Build strength

Now, everything comes together. We'll push closer to failure across all lifts and gradually increase volume, including abdominal training.
  • More intensity, safely applied
  • Confidence for the next stage of strength training

Frequently asked questions

How soon after giving birth can I start?

Start when you’ve been cleared by your healthcare provider to exercise, typically at least 6 weeks after a vaginal delivery or at least 6-8 weeks after a C-section. If you’re still experiencing significant pain, bleeding, or heavy pelvic pressure, wait and seek medical advice before beginning.

Is this program C-section friendly?

Yes. Once you’ve been cleared by your healthcare provider to resume exercise—typically around 6 weeks postpartum for both vaginal and C-section births—this program is safe to begin. Dr. Shannon provides modifications for C-section births.

Does this program help with diastasis recti (abdominal separation)?

Most women experience some degree of diastasis recti (DR) during pregnancy due to stretching of the abdominal wall. Research shows that progressive core strengthening can help the two sides of the rectus abdominis work together again and may gradually narrow the gap over months.

No responsible 4-week program can promise to “close the gap,” but Evlo Postpartum focuses on deep-core activation and controlled loading to create the foundation you’ll need for long-term improvement, both in this program and when you transition back to regular Evlo workouts.

Does this program heal pelvic-floor conditions like prolapse or incontinence?

This program is not a substitute for pelvic floor physical therapy. If you’re experiencing symptoms such as heaviness, bulging, leaking, or pain, consult your OB-GYN or a pelvic floor physical therapist first.

That said, our classes include pelvic-floor-friendly progressions to help you reconnect to and gently strengthen these muscles while avoiding strain. This helps prepare you to return safely to heavier lifting and higher-impact exercise over time.

Will this program help me lose weight?

Exercise alone has a limited effect on fat loss. Nutrition plays the largest role. The Postpartum Program is designed to restore muscle and function, not to be a rapid weight-loss plan.

We include a postpartum-specific nutrition guide written by a Registered Dietitian to help you understand realistic calorie needs, especially if you’re breastfeeding.

Can I do this program while breastfeeding?

Yes. This program is light-to-moderate intensity, and should not affect breast milk supply.

Can I start this program if I didn’t do Evlo Prenatal?

Yes! If you’ve had your healthcare provider’s clearance to return to exercise, this program is safe whether or not you’ve been a member before. We will all start with the foundations, and build upon them week by week.

What if I have symptoms like coning, doming, or pelvic heaviness during a class?

Pause the movement and modify or skip that exercise. Those symptoms are signs that the load is too high for your current core or pelvic floor capacity. We provide modification tips throughout each class. Persistent symptoms should be evaluated by a pelvic floor PT or your OB-GYN.


Is the program safe if I have a C-section scar that still feels tender or numb?

Mild tenderness or numbness can be normal, but sharp pain, redness, swelling, or reopening of the incision requires medical attention. Our classes avoid excessive abdominal strain early on, but always progress at your comfort level and consult your provider if unsure.

It’s been a while since I’ve had my baby. Can I still start the postpartum program?

Yes! The program will help you set foundational strength in your pelvic floor, core, and your entire body. It’s never too late to start.

Is music played during class?

If you want music, we’ve got you covered. Choose from a list of genres to get access to popular music played directly over classes, or simultaneously play music from your favorite streaming service if your device allows. Adjust the volume of both the music and the instructor to find your perfect sound. You can always turn the music off completely if you prefer.

What equipment will I need?

To make workouts effective from the comfort of your own home, investing in equipment is an important part of the process. Click here for a list of equipment and links.

Can I cancel any time?

You can cancel any time within your 14-day trial without being charged. You can also cancel before your next billing cycle to avoid being charged for the following month. Once you cancel, you will have access to the membership for the rest of your billing cycle. Click here for more information on how to cancel.

How long are the workouts? 

Workouts start shorter, then increase in duration throughout the program.
  • Week 1: 5 workouts, all less than 20 minutes
  • Week 2: 5 workouts, all less than 25 minutes
  • Week 3: 5 workouts, all less than 25 minutes
  • Week 4: 5 workouts all less than 35 minutes
