Pelvic Floor Lengthening Intro
BIRTH PREP WEEK 1
•
3m 46s
In this introductory lesson, Coach Ashley will teach you the two foundational techniques you'll use throughout the Birth Prep Program: 360-degree breathing and pelvic floor relaxation. You'll practice expanding your breath into your rib cage, coordinating your breathing with your core, and learning how to intentionally lengthen and release your pelvic floor muscles. These skills help build body awareness and teach your pelvic floor to fully relax, which is an important component of preparing your body for labor and birth.
