WHAT IT IS
The breath work behind stronger cores, better breathing, and bodies that stop bracing.
A reflexive breath. A specific posture. Access to the deep core and pelvic floor that crunches and Kegels can't reach — for women and men alike.
Hypopressives combine specific postures with a particular kind of exhale that redistributes pressure inside the abdomen... Developed in Belgium in the 1980s for postpartum recovery, it's since become a cornerstone of postnatal rehabilitation across Europe. It looks strange the first time. It changes things faster than almost anything else I teach.
WHAT IT IS
The pelvic floor doesn't respond to willpower. It responds to pressure— and pressure is what hypopressives change.
HOW IT WORKS
Three movements. Done in order.
​
The technique itself is simple. The skill is in the precision, and in learning to feel something you've never been asked to feel before.
​
​
01
Set the posture.
Standing, seated, kneeling, supine.
Specific shapes that prepare the body for the breath to do its work.
02
Find the breath.
Empty the lungs. Then allow the ribcage to open. The pelvic floor lifts. The diaphragm lifts. They are attached through fascial connections
03
Take it home.
Five to ten minutes a day. That's where the change actually happens — between sessions, in your own time, on your own floor.
No one has looked at me in the holistic way Alyssia did. I've been in so much pain for so long, and I feel seen — like I've finally found someone who knows how to help.
