Prenatal/Postpartum Core Connection Breath
Daily breathwork practice designed to increase the functionality of your core, regulate intra abdominal pressure (natural pressure when you breathe), protect your core as your belly grows and body changes, mitigate diastasis recti (separating of the linea alba of the rectus abdominis), and help you reconnect to your core postpartum (for both vaginal and cesarean delivery).
Begin by practicing diaphragmatic breathing
- as you inhale the TVA (transversus abdominis) and pelvic floor naturally lengthen and expand
- as you exhale the TVA gently contracts and the pelvic floor rebounds back to its natural resting state
Progress the engagement/activation:
- allow you exhalations to become deeper ...

Quadruped Hip CARs (controlled articular rotations)
Просмотров 1,7 тыс.3 года назад
A go-to variation of hip CARs that adds a significant element of trunk and shoulder stability. I love this variation as part of a warm up prior to a workout to activate the core, shoulders, and obviously the hips. Maintain straight arms throughout and watch for rounding and arching of the spine and hiking of the hip. Take your hip through the largest controlled circle you can. Check out the ful...
Side Lying Hip CARs (controlled articular rotations)
Просмотров 4,3 тыс.3 года назад
A variation of hip CARs if you have a challenging time standing on one leg, kneeling on the ground, or are just looking for another fun variation that challenges the hips from a different position. Watch for compensation of the lumbar spine rounding or arching as well as the top hip dropping back behind you. Be mindful to keep everything stable while moving the hip joint only. If you want to ch...
Standing Hip CARs (controlled articular rotations)
Просмотров 2,9 тыс.3 года назад
One of my favorite variations of hip CARs due to the change in how our body has to work against gravity as well as the integration of the foot. Watch for compensations in the lumbar spine, hiking/rotation of the pelvis, changes in the standing leg. If you want to check out the full body CARs video for every joint, head over the the Mobility Playlist. Instagram @running_with_forks

For GLOBAL spinal flexion and extension, all the vertebrae are moving together in your standard cat/cow movement. For SEGMENTATION, each vertebrae is moving individually and you are segmenting one at a time as you move from flexion to extension and extension back into flexion. Irradiate tension throughout th...

    • @KirstenMcCormick
      @KirstenMcCormick 6 месяцев назад

      There are a few different practices in this mini session. Which section of breathwork are you asking about? The box breath? If so, choose a count length that works for you and attempt to keep it even and consistent. For example, a 4 count box breath would be: 4 count inhale 4 count holding of the breath in 4 count exhale 4 count holding of the breath out Visualize a box and each breath is a side of the box. Hope that’s helpful!
