This is integration. The extremities, the core, and the breath work as one.
We. are still very gentle in our approach as, for some, this is still the first week after giving birth. Do not push any of these movements and if anything feels questionable, back off. These exercises are mostly about reconnecting with breath, core, and musculoskeletal and nervous systems...not about gaining strength! That will come in time, don't you worry!
Up Next in WEEKS 1 & 2 PREP
-
DAY 7 POSTNATAL PREP
Day 7 adds in the third component of the pelvic floor activation: THE LIFT.
Practice this new layer seated in a chair as you will feel the pelvic floor gently lift away from the chair as you contract it in THE LIFT.
-
DAY 8 POSTNATAL PREP
On Day 8, we integrate THE LIFT into cyclic breathing with gentle movement in a seated position.
By the end of this session, you will feel comfortable with the extended exhale and the pelvic floor hold.
-
DAY 9 POSTNATAL PREP
Today, we will add extra attention to our posture with endurance holds in the arms and head. While we still maintain a seated position in order to get the feedback of pelvic floor contraction, we will increase blood flow by working continuously with the pelvic floor work.
