POSTPARTUM - RECONNECT 4
Some mindful movement for the postpartum mommas or anyone look to reconnect to their core. Please see the other PP posts for more information!
What does breathwork look like? It can be done standing, sitting, laying down…whatever feels easiest for you at this time. Most people find it simpler laying down but hey, do you! Try to work it into your day for 5-10minutes and then build up to a few times a day. It takes time, be patient with yourself :)
Assume the position that feels right for you
Deep breath in, letting air fill your lungs, expand the rib cage, expand out your back body and out the sides of your obliques. Think of it as a 360* breathe - filling all around and won to your pelvic floor.
On your exhale think about contracting up and in like a little wave rolling up (ie. LIFTING) from your pelvic floor to your abdominal wall. We arent sucking in and holding. If you can, imagine you are picking up a grape with your vaginal wall and holding it up and in. Try to limit squeezing your glutes and digging your feet into the ground. The contraction should come from your pelvic floor/abdominal wall.
