postnatal HEALING BREATHWOK
REOWN YOUR BODY, STRENGTHEN, RELAX AND STRETCH
Postnatal Healing Breathwork helps us recover our rectum abdominal muscles (diastasis recti), strengthen our pelvic floor (even when tight) and to fall in love with your new body so that you can go back into high impact exercise gradually and regain your fitness doing the exercise of your choice: running, yoga, pilates, swimming, cycling, climbing etc.
What are the benefits?
POSTNATAL HEALING BREATHWORK is uniquely suited to help you regain:
Your core-strengts.
Your abdominals & pelvic floor. Each step ‘closes’ the body and re-knits abdominal muscles using HEALING breathing, with the additional effect of inducing deeper sleep and reducing postnatal fatigue.
Overall fitness after birth by restoring tone to the deep muscles of the pelvis and lower back.
Regain body confidence and renown your body. Remember body was shared for 9 months, as well as breastfeeding.
Toning and strengthening the pelvic floor and abdominals.
Muscle tension arising from feeding or carrying babies is alleviated by specific stretches which release and open the back and shoulders.
Spinal and pelvic alignment exercises help improve posture and ease lots of the common aches and pains of new mums
Who is it for?
For mothers that have just given birth, and until your kids have grown. It’s beneficial for mothers that haven’t done the work yet to recover your abdominals and pelvic floor muscles. Even if you have a 40 year old child (funny but seriously true). We will be working with deep tissues and muscles that need constant work so this is a practise you will use all your life!
Since this practice also helps you relax and calm anxiety it’s a win-win situation for all people that have carried a pregnancy and have small children to take care of.
When can I start?
Anytime after birth!
I will adapt the practice so you build your muscles inside out and build up a practice from low impact into a flow that suits you at any stage of your postnatal recovery.
For those who have had their children years ago, we also focus on incorporating a mindful practise to be a more relaxed parent.
What to expect?
All mothers will benefit from POSTNATAL HEALING BREATHWORK because of its unique technique to join the rectum abdominal muscles, avoiding the lower belly that most mums have after giving birth due to split up abdominals muscles.
If you have done some work already I can give you a more dynamic yoga flow as you build up your strength, stamina and flexibility. Starting gently, we gradually build your up. Providing a safe transition to high impact exercise, yoga or other forms of exercise with long term benefits for female body and general health.
What about my baby?
Ideally you can have a bit of time on your own but if not posible your baby can watch, sleep, feed or play. We can also involve baby with some baby yoga movements.
