Breath, Body, & Yoga Therapy

​

Posture and alignment is another key focus during these sessions, which is extremely important to address during pregnancy as our alignment often suffers with our growing belly leading to body aches and pains.  After pregnancy many moms struggle with their posture and alignment because of the added demands of a baby and dysfunctional habitual postures we often get into to feed or hold our babies.  We need to be able to attain a neutral posture for all of our core musculature to work to be symptoms free.

​

Another tool used during these sessions are Yoga Tune Up therapy balls using the Roll Model Method to release tension in your muscles and gain a sense of balance in your body.

​

Yoga and intentional movement will help your body retrain your ideal posture and alignment to be able to move and function optimally throughout your day.

​

Everyone could benefit from one-on-one breath, body & yoga sessions regardless of what stage of life you're in, especially from a practitioner highly specialized and trained in the pelvic floor and prenatal/postpartum.  The breath is the key to the core, along with mindfulness and mental health, and it is the foundation that we need to address during pregnancy and especailly postpartum.  The diaphragm is the top of our core system, so without appropriate breathing the rest of our core can't function optimally.  Many women during pregnancy start to breathe more shallowly as the belly grows, and most moms continue to have this dysfunctional breathing pattern postpartum, which can lead to many abdominal and pelvic floor symptoms.

 

Breath, body and yoga sessions can address:

  • Core and pelvic floor strength

  • Diastasis recti (abdominal separation)

  • The mom "belly pooch"

  • Muscle tension

  • Poor posture

  • Anxiety

  • Back pain

  • Pubic bone pain

  • Tailbone pain

  • Pelvic pressure/heaviness/prolapse

  • Urinary incontinence
