Plus because of the focus on the breath you will learn to breathe better, making you feel more energised and less stressed!
Here are some of the results my clients have achieved:
Got rid of prolapse symptoms and improved confidence in their body
No leaking when laughing, coughing, sneezing or with exercise
Toned abdominals and reduced waist size - one client lost 11cms!
More relaxed, less stressed and anxious
All of which can be achieved with as little as 10 minutes of practice a day!
Hypopressives means a reduction of pressure.
Traditional core training can cause an increase in pressure. And if you have any dysfunction in your core - diastasis recti, hernia, incontinence, prolapse or back pain - increased pressure can make these worse.
In fact, when I prolapsed crunches were the first thing I gave up, along with high impact.
When I started Hypopressives my stomach felt like I was sucking it in! I wasn't but for the first time since I'd had kids, my core muscles were doing what they were designed to do! It was like I was wearing a corset!
The more I trained, the more benefits I experienced:
I love the start to my day - breathing practice, gentle exercise and easing out my body. Practising regularly has also helped me with back and joint pain
It's helped to keep me relaxed - it's great for anxiety because of the focus on the breath
It's improved my posture, especially my shoulders, which have a much better range of movement.
And I have managed to add impact to my workouts at home and have upped my weights - all without any deleterious effects on my pelvic floor.
After the birth of my first baby I was really struggling with a pelvic floor injury and a weak core. Someone recommended hypopressives so in desperation I gave it a go - and I'm so glad I did!
Sarah is a brilliant teacher, she helped me master the technique really quickly and her classes are the highlight of my week.
This is so much more than a pelvic floor exercise, it's like I've been put back together again!

I had COVID and found deep breathing and some of the lessons Sarah gave helped - so I was keen to try hypopressives.
Concentrating on the exercises helps put the days stresses behind me. It also helps my core, posture and pelvic floor - I had a choking fit the other day and was delighted that my pelvic floor remained strong - and no leaking!

I feel like the benefits of Hypopressives are huge.
They cover my mental state, my physical state, my general wellbeing.
I can move more freely - I can get out of bed, I can get up and down much more easily. I can now get up the four flights of stairs to my office without getting breathless.
And I'm beginning to manage my anxiety better, slow it down, stop it sooner.
