Dr Bri - I absolutely love you and am so grateful for all that you do to help us with uterine prolapse! But 2 things: i was a professional Egyptian cabaret belly dancer - trained by the woman who first brought proper technique and training to North America. My pelvic floor muscles were so strong that I would push my menstrual cup out while doing undulations. Proper belly dance technique can make pelvic floor muscles hypersonic. 2: i love you, love you, love you, love you, but... whoever you learned from didn't know proper technique 😔 I'm sorry, I hate to give negative feedback to someone who so lovingly does so much to help...
@@celaizen3338 move #1: heel is *flat on the floor*, knees are slightly bent. Bri is correct in that the hip movement comes from the knee straightening, but the knee is straightening because you're going to push down into your heel. The focus should be straight up, not with a lateral slide (closing the car door). Of course it can be done with a lateral hip slide, but that is now combining 2 different isolations (hip lift through the heel + lateral hip slide using your obliques). Hip Circle: head & shoulder should not be moving right or left. They will move forward & back, but when looking in the mirror, it shouldn't look like they are moving at all. Hip circle issue 2: the hips are supposed to stay level. In order for that to happen, when you move your hip to the left, the left knee bends just enough to keep the hips level. Knees straighten when your butt is back, then the right knee bends as you bring your hip to the right. Same with the figure 8's: the hips should be level -so the knee need to bend with the lateral hip slide. Hope this helped!
@@TigerMarie87 Sorry, no. I've never been the spotlight type :) Plus, i haven't' danced since the prolapse. I's stage 3 uterus & stage 2 bladder with hypertonic muscle. I still can't dance without pushing everything down :(
Sorry are you saying belly dancing is not good for the pelvic floor or just the technique Dr Bri is demonstrating? I’m just a little confused because you say you learned proper technique but still have hypertonic pelvic floor. Thank you I’m just trying to understand so the same doesn’t happen to me but I have loved what belly dancing I’ve done so far so I’d like to keep it up if possible in the most healthy way!
Oh my gosh!!! I LOVE BACHATA! I'm so loving this video. Thank you for a new video, Dr. Bri! I found regular bellydance was super hard on my knees. Your hip circle videos have allowed me to dance again -- and help my body heal and feel good
Dear Dr. Bri you are wonderful, thank you for your videos! In addition, just my two cents: when we do belly dance the top of our head stays still, not moving up and down (disco moves), not tilt, just stays so that we can carry a book on top of our head, that won't fall while we dance.
Absolutely! It really helps to visualize those deep pelvic floor muscles working as you're doing the moves (such as the hip lifts, and the hip circles or hip figure 8's). I have an entire hip circles playlist that you might enjoy!
That was fun. Haha I'm sooo uncoordinated and stiff and forget to breath. Beginner at everything but trying to get fit, tone up, help my lack of bladder control and lose weight. You are now going to be my every morning routine. :-)
Great job! I am glad you had fun with this!! I have so many videos here to help you with bladder control! Here is a playlist to look through to get you started! bit.ly/prolapseplaylist I think you would enjoy my Lift program where you can tone your pelvic floor. You can try it for free here: bit.ly/liftforfree
you'll have to experiment and see what works for you! It definitely activates the pelvic floor muscles, but it also stretches and releases them due to the full mobility/range of motion you experience during these fluid, flowing movements. Try the workout, do one of my pelvic floor release videos after the workout, and see how you feel :)
Dr Bri I have pain that feels like a knife sticking in my right pelvic area between my inner hip and pubic bone. I had a hysterectomy 6 years ago. The pain has become intolerable and wakes me up at night. It also goes down the front of my rt thigh & around around to my butt. Pelvic ultrasound and hip x ray basically negative. Does this sound like pelvic floor issue to you? Stretches and breathing are not helping much so far. Thank you.
Is belly dancing a safe exercise when you have pelvic floor hypertonia? I love to dance but I'm worried about tightening the already overtight muscles. :[
Most of them are. Please feel free to modify the exercises as needed and ask your local pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance ~ Leila from Vibrant Support
While I can't make any guarantees, I can tell you that I've worked with several women with long histories of sciatica who've experienced relief from daily hip circles. Start slow and gentle, and work your way up to longer sessions. Before doing this workout, you might just want to try a few hip circles in each direction and see how it feels for you. This is a super old video but it explains more about hip circles and how they can help: ruclips.net/video/ffLEtsuypFg/видео.htmlsi=Pd_DcHcsp7BymMWJ
My pelvic floor is throbbing after that !😊had to make it look masculine but what the hay! Great experience and I love dancing!🙄but I think I'll keep it in the privacy of my place! Ha ha !😅🤣😂👍✌
I'm so glad you got a jingly skirt! It makes the routines so much more fun :) I have several dance videos in my hip circles playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLDputRBPsHFQDKJcm2RwtaLdDq5GoLelQ
I started, used to dance on stage…years went by and diabetic and started sitting too much…now sex life left me…but this will reve up my engines again at age 73….
Not a silly question! Your core will NATURALLY activate when needed throughout this workout. Please don't ever feel like you're squeezing or "clenching" your pelvic floor/core during this routine... you want to feel like your muscles are active, but also super supple and responsive! If you have a history of pelvic floor hypertonicity (too much tightness), then please pause the video halfway through and intentionally relax/release your pelvic floor and core muscles.
This might sound silly, but topical magnesium creams are so incredible for relaxing tight muscles. So maybe before or after doing all this wonderful dancing (so fun, thank you!), applying some cream to the lower abdomen would help relax things, too.
All of my videos are safe for people with Diastasis Recti. I will advise you to modify if there is a move that would not be safe! Here is my Diastasis Recti playlist to help you further: bit.ly/Absplaylist
Mam i am suffering from stretch in pelvic muscles.... Having painful sex.. And want to conceive... Plz suggest some exercise which are safe in conceiving

This was so fun! And just what I needed to lift my mood! :) Your videos have helped me so much-thank you!!
I used to take lessons and absolutely loved belly dance! This is so much fun 🤩

Yay! So glad you enjoyed it! I’m a firm believer that fitness should feel good and bring you joy 🤩
I had no idea belly dance was good for the pelvic floor. I’ll have to add this to my workouts.

Is this ok for hypertonic pelvic muscles? Or would that make them more tense ? Thanks

It definitely activates the pelvic floor muscles, but it also stretches and releases them due to the full mobility/range of motion you experience during these fluid, flowing movements.

Did you find doing this finally succeeded with looser pelvic floor.
Could you poop!
We who are waiting to try need to hear success !
Love!

Hello and thank you! I am new to your site, and I would like to know if your exercises are in general, safe for osteoporosis
Most of them are. Please feel free to modify the exercises as needed and ask your local pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance ~ Leila from Vibrant Support

Hi dear! Is it Diastisis rect safe? If it is, what is the use of it? Actually I loved ur dance😍 Subscribed ur channel
Yes it is safe for diastasis recti! I am not sure what you mean in the second part of your question though.
If it is diastisis recti safe, what is the use of this dance? Will it tone our belly? Will it be helpful to reduce the belly fat?
❤❤❤
Where do I find video notes?
I need those belly dance jingles! Looks fun! Can you do more belly dance routines ?? I just ordered the jingles

This is such a silly question but are you engaging your core or pelvic floor while doing these dances or do you let everything loose ? Thanks
