I haven't had a caesarean, but I did have an abdominoplasty, which involves sewing of the fascia that connects the abdominal wall (from ribcage to pelvis, vertically).
My surgeon said to wait 8wks, but I started easing back into very light dancing that did not involve my abdominal muscles at 6wks. By 8wks, I was almost back to normal. I think the most important thing is that she listen to her body, and not take on more than feels comfortable. There's no sense rushing things and doing damage to yourself.
As an instructor, you have no way to know whether or not she'll listen to her body's cues, and of course - don't want her to harm herself or the headache of legal ramifications if something goes wrong... so - if her doctor says 8wks, I'd agree with him/her. After the 8wks has passed, I'd welcome her to class and tell her to pay close attention to what her body says, and take rest or eliminate moves as is needed.
