Hypopressive Breathing

Do you experienced incontinence, prolapse, or bloating caused by abdominal pressure? Do you lack core strength or engagement?

Hypopressives can help! It is a specialized breathing technique that combines poses with breath control to reduce intra-abdominal pressure and activate the deep core and pelvic floor muscles. It is unlike other “abdominal exercises” as it includes the nervous system and helps to create a reflexive response from the muscles instead of simply performing exercises.

Benefits of Hypopressives include:

Core muscle activation and tightening of the abdominal fascia

Reduction of intra-abdominal pressure

Spinal decompression

Relaxation/ calming effects

Increased blood and lymph flow

Restores proper respiratory patterns
