The Lowdown

After a wave of messages from our readers asking us to spotlight more fitness spaces for post-pregnancy recovery and senior-friendly workouts, we laced up and hit the streets in search of a studio that does both — and guess what? We found it. One place. Two vibes. Both life-changing.

Welcome to HerJoy — a beautifully intimate, female-powered studio tucked away on Suszki 22 in Piątkowo, run by the incredibly warm and wildly energetic Joanna Bailey.

Meet Joanna — Trainer, Triathlete, Mum.

“Usually, nothing is impossible for me – that’s what sport taught me.”

Joanna’s got the kind of energy that makes your morning coffee jealous. She’s a certified personal trainer, wife to a Brit, mother of two, and a woman who went from broken to badass — all through sheer resilience and a stubborn refusal to accept limits.

After two pregnancies, two C-sections, and a deep dive into the maze of misinformation around postpartum recovery, she realized something big: there are almost no good spaces for women to rebuild themselves after childbirth, emotionally, physically, and honestly. So, she built one.

HerJoy was born from pain, rebuilt with purpose, and powered by passion. Now, she’s made it her mission to help other women reclaim their strength and confidence.

Chair Yoga

Joanna’s Chair Yoga for Seniors program is pure gold — and not just for flexibility. These gentle, supportive classes are designed to:

Reduce stress and anxiety
Alleviate joint pain and mobility issues
Improve circulation, posture, and sleep
Rebuild balance and confidence in everyday movement

Sessions are led with care and personalization, to make every move feel safe and natural — no past experience required. Just show up, breathe, and feel better.

Post-Pregnancy & Prenatal Yoga

If you’ve just had a baby and feel like your body’s speaking a language you don’t recognize anymore, Joanna gets it.

After her own traumatic postpartum recovery, she went deep into professional training and medical research, refusing to accept painful surgeries as her only option. What she built instead was a smart, nurturing post-pregnancy training system that works with your real body — not some fantasy Instagram version.

Postnatal classes focus on:

Reconnecting with your core and breath

Fixing abdominal separation (diastasis recti)

Rebuilding core strength, glutes, and back

Gently burning fat and boosting endurance

Prenatal yoga is equally powerful. Led by certified instructors in a calm, safe space, these classes help expecting mums:

Prepare mentally and physically for labor

Reduce back pain and sleep troubles

Learn breath techniques for childbirth

Feel supported and seen during all trimesters

Group and private sessions are available, with flexible scheduling and real, human support every step of the way.

NEW: Chair Pilates with Yoga & Stretching Elements

This class brings the control and core awareness of Pilates together with the gentle flow of yoga and deep release of stretching, all from the safety of a chair. Perfect for seniors, people returning from injury, or anyone wanting a low-impact way to build balance and mobility.

Think of it as functional bodywork that’s kind to your joints — but tough on tension.

Wrapping Up

Her Joy isn’t about bootcamps or beach bodies — it’s about healing, strength, and community. Whether you’re a new mum trying to find your way back or a senior looking to stay active without risking injury, this studio was made for you.
