This is part 1 of our hypopressive series where we explore three hyopressive poses to start out with. The sequence is less than 10 minutes and we will perform two hypopressive apneas in each of our three poses.
Hypopressive exercises, also known as low pressure fitness are a type of yoga breathing technique also known as uddiyana kriya. This type of breathing is often used as a method to improve diaphragmatic breathing which can help with conditions like pelvic organ prolapse and stress incontinence.
You should watch our other video explaining how to feel an apnea before you begin this hypopressive practice: • How to Feel the Apnea ...
We will explore more difficult hypopressives each week as this series progresses. If there any any specific hypopressive poses that you would like to see demonstrated, please drop a note in the comments.
You can read more about the benefits of hypopressive exercises on our website:

I have a weak and tight pelvic floor and over 20 years of pelvic pain and bladder pain. I’ve done a lot of good work with fascia release and resistance stretching, but I need to do something to strengthen the core. Kiegal exercises seem like just more “clenching” which is not great for tight, weak muscles. This approach feels like a better solution. I will go through the series with you. Thank you so much from Nova Scotia, Canada.

Great questions! With regards to Hypopressives, they are best done on an empty stomach, so first thing in the morning before breakfast is a great time. With regards to fitness, you can adapt your fitness practice to support your prolapse. Managing intraabdominal pressure is key, and this is something you can learn.

Good morning. I have had interstitial cystitis for 12 years. but I was doing pretty well with a dietary change. but a recent prolapse of the bladder and rectum caused everything to burst. my bladder became unbearable among other things. I'm starting hypopressives. the pain in my bones, ribs, sacrum and my stiffness everywhere complicates things for me and I therefore have hypopressive symptoms in my bed. but the pressure throughout my lower abdomen is excruciating. I'm barely a walker. clearly I need to try to relax my pelvic floor. and do not reinforce. I was wondering if you can suggest the gentlest and easiest relaxation exercises for me please? THANKS

@TheFlowerEmpowered 17 күн бұрын

It’s probably best to start with restorative yoga poses to help tone down the symptoms. Given the high level of pain you are experiencing, your nervous system is sensing danger. You have to get messages of safety through to the nervous system for this. You communicate with your nervous system through movement, touch and thought. Start with restorative yoga like this one: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jc6aotxyqamwqYE.htmlsi=Y2BuIYyMn8Y7ZBIC and add yoga nidra body scanning meditation: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a55yodmbuMmXk58.htmlsi=5ucrehnEAVzdLJLx and see if that helps to calm things down.

How do you recommend incorporating pelvic floor exercise/movement/flexing/releasing into the hypopressive movement/breathing? If you could explain how this helps the pelvic floor that would be great (I have a prolapsed vaginal wall, at the front with strong/tight rear pelvic-floor muscles and weaker/overstretched? front pelvic-floor muscles).

@TheFlowerEmpowered 3 жыл бұрын

Hi Meliveril, it’s not unusual to have parts of the pelvic floor that are hypertonic while other parts are hypotonic. When it comes to restoring balance, the question is usually of length should come before strength. I have written an article about this that explains my approach: theflowerempowered.com/2020/10/29/should-you-focus-on-length-before-strength-with-pfd-oct-2020/ When it comes to Hypopressives, they do not strengthen the pelvic floor, they work more on enhancing the antagonistic relationship between the pelvic floor and can increase the flexibility of both the pelvic floor and diaphragm. Hypopressives also stimulate connective tissues encouraging an enhancement of pelvic organ support which is why they are believed to benefit people with POP, however, connective tissues adapt slowly so consistency over a long period of time would be needed to show results. When it comes to rebuilding strength, you can include pelvic floor contractions with Hypopressives but I only add them when full function of the pelvic floor has been restored. My empowerment program (which is detailed in my upcoming book) has different modules that are practiced concurrently which include: pelvic floor exercises, breathing exercises (including Hypopressives), relaxation exercises, movement exercises and mind exercises/meditation. All of these elements are needed in order to regain full function (in my opinion/experience). Hope that helps!

What is apnea mean and what does hyper pressive mean.

@TheFlowerEmpowered 2 жыл бұрын

A Hypopressive is another name for a stomach vacuum. It’s a type of breathing exercise where you breathe all your air out, hold the breath out, relax your tummy and expand your ribcage. Because your airways are closed and there is no air in your lungs, when you expand the ribcage, it creates a lift that makes the hollow tummy. Apnea means cessation of breathing. It is just the name for holding the breath when your lungs are empty. You can watch this video for a trick to feel the apnea: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/patoq9SS1dm8f30.html Let me know if you have more questions 😊

Thank you for the great educational videos! I saw your interviews with Dr. Bri and they were wonderful. I have a question about the hypopressive exercises in reversing prolapse… I was reading the comments and you have mentioned in your responses that it is a slow process which makes total sense. But about how long will it take to reverse a grade 2 cystocele with hypopressives?

@TheFlowerEmpowered 2 жыл бұрын

Proplase is just the point of least resistance toward which increased intra-abdominal pressure goes. Hypopressives will help to reduce the symptoms but you should also work to train your pelvic floor AND to release hypertonicity in the pelvic floor and in the muscles supporting the hips, legs and core. Getting your diaphragm moving will also help a lot. When it comes to time, it is very much dependent on your body and your consistency of practice. Consistency creates change in the body. If you are consistent, you can see changes within a couple of months…

@gemk0058 2 жыл бұрын

Thank you for responding! So the organ technically doesn’t go back to its original place?

@TheFlowerEmpowered 2 жыл бұрын

The organ hasn’t necessarily shifted from its usual place. Generally with grade 1 and 2 prolapse, the shift of organs happens when there is increased intra-abdominal pressure which gives the symptomatic feeling. If it is constantly shifted, a pessary can be of great benefit in stabilizing things while you work on strengthening the pelvic floor and releasing excess tension.

Are you achieving an apnea and does your body feel good in these positions? If so, it’s fine to continue to the next video. Practicing Hypopressives daily is fine (6 days -always have a rest day), but it’s not required. You could do hypos three times per week in between your other types of exercise. If any of the poses make you feel excess pelvic pressure or discomfort in your joints (if you have knee issues for example), just skip that pose. Once you have learned the poses and find it easy, take all the ones that feel good, string them together into your own wee sequence. Each exercise is a little tool and you can use the tools when needed 😊🌸

Great question Celine, I would avoid these exercises for now. Has your surgeon given the go-ahead to begin any exercise? Have they assigned a pelvic floor physiotherapist to help you rehabilitate post surgery? It really makes sense to have the pelvic floor assessed to see if it is hypertonic or hypotonic and to work to rehabilitate the pelvic floor accordingly. Some very gentle pelvic floor exercises would be a good place to start when you do get the go ahead, but it's really important that you get approval before you begin with any training. Depending on how quickly things heal up, you may be in a position to add hypopressives somewhere between 8 and 12 weeks post op.

What if the only way I can achieve apnea is by holding my nose? I tried the tip you shared and practiced that way and now if I don’t hold my nose I just take the air in whenever I try to expand my chest.

Hi Agni, I have a couple of questions... 1. What are your reasons for practicing hypopressies? 2. Are you breathing through your nose or mouth when you are doing the breaths leading up to your hypopressives? Of course it's ok to hold your nose if that allows you to achieve your vacuum, but it can make it a little more difficult if you are trying to perform the vacuum in different poses (like in this hypopressive series). Are you close to a yoga studio by any chance? Or are you seeing a pelvic floor therapist? A yoga teacher/physiotherapist should be able to show you how to close the space at the back of your nose after exhalation (although it's hard to see it but it can be demonstrated). Maybe I will make a video on this so you can try. In the meantime, there's no harm in helping yourself by holding your nose, even thought that may prevent you from doing poses where you need to rest on your hands.

Any exercise that requires to facing the belly downward is physically impossible for me; my lungs just stop working in that position. It's been that way since I was a baby. Also, since I can't breathe in the all four position, my arms and legs shake violently in the first few seconds. Pushups and planks are impossible for me.

Yes! The entire thoracic chamber is in apnea as it is one solid air right chamber. Maybe you can see it in this video where I try to highlight that there is also a vacuum around the collar bone and throat as well as around the kidneys at the back side: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n-CdoZCh35fVcZc.html As the ears, nose and throat are all connected, you may notice some pressure changes there. It would be worth checking with your doctor to ensure there isn’t anything sinister happening around the throat area if food is getting stuck. This can happen if there is a goiter around the thyroid. A goiter would also create some stiffness in the tissues around the throat which could result in you feeling more pressure in the ears. A wee visit to your Doc or ab ENT specialist could be valuable. Let me know how it goes for you.

@@TheFlowerEmpowered It's when I'm in belly down positions or waist up, and it's a "sliding" as if they're coming from down low and between gravity and the apnea they're moving towards my diaphragm. I'm suffering from chronically clenched pelvic floor. I've been focusing on relaxing them, and I'm not consciously flexing my abs. I don't believe I'm doing anything beyond the apnea, it isn't painful it's just very unusual. I've been doing sitting and laying hypopressives while sorting this out, cause I'm just not sure. I got in an accident at 18 that rendered me bedridden for a year, and several years of pain in the knee and lower back. The inactivity from that caused weakness in my body. I'm healing a grade two prolapse, and with your teachings I'm improving it. Do you think the shifting is caused from years of weak but tight pelvic floor muscles and my organs drooping? Is this a common sensation?

@TheFlowerEmpowered 3 жыл бұрын

The shifting of organs up towards the diaphragm is what you should feel so it sounds like you are doing it correctly. The idea with Hypopressives is to use the diaphragm to pull on the connective tissue network on the abdominal and pelvic cavities to pull everything upwards. This uplifting motion is believed to stimulate the movement of connective tissue cells that leave small trails to build connective tissue fibers. It’s a slow process but with consistency over an extended period, this should help with internal support for organs. The scientific research into the efficacy of Hypopressives is still in its infancy but what you describe is what you should feel (a lifting upwards of the internal organs towards the diaphragm). The positions leaning over tend to make you feel it more. If you find them uncomfortable, just do the Hypopressives seated or lying down. When it comes to the pelvic floor tension, here are lots of relaxation videos on the channel. Also, for a weak core, you should start with very gentle exercises like those shown in this video (they are after the core strength test) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZl0nrp2nbfDlmg.html Hope this helps!

@TheFlowerEmpowered 3 жыл бұрын

That’s a great question! The purpose with Hypopressives is to create the stomach vacuum which lifts the contented of your intraabdominal cavity and raises your pelvic floor. The positions change the lines of tension in your body as the connective tissues are gently pulled, which just enhances the vacuum and moves tissues and fluid in the intraabdominal cavity. Motion is lotion! You can practice Hypopressives in many different positions. For the melting heart, shown in the thumbnail, sit on a chair, where you are facing a wall where your toes are touching the wall. Place your hands on the wall, take your apnea and walk your hands up the wall, allowing your chest to rest forward. It’s basically he same position without weight on the knees. Let me know if that works for you 😊💕

Hello should I just follow exactly what you do in the video or should I take more apnea? Do I do the first video a week then move on to the next one?

@TheFlowerEmpowered Жыл бұрын

Generally, we take three or four breaths at a comfortable pace, take the the apnea for the same duration as a breath cycle (I usually count to 4) and then release. If you feel like taking a longer apnea, that’s ok, but try to flow at the pace of your own breath if possible. With regards to the poses, listen to your body and skip any poses that are triggering. The poses do increase slightly in difficulty with each phase, but if you are fit, you might find it easy to run through all the levels without difficulty. If this is the case, you can practice them one after the other on the same day. I wouldn’t spend more than 30 mins doing hypos. 15 minute is kind of ideal.

@TheFlowerEmpowered Ай бұрын

Hypopressives can help to relieve symptoms but contrary to a lot of what is shared online, it doesn’t “cure” prolapse. A prolapse is a point of weakness. The key to managing the prolapse is to manage intraabdominal pressure. A big part of this, especially with the rectal prolapse is avoiding constipation. Also managing your weight. increased bodyfat causes increased intraabdominal pressure, so if you are carrying extra weight, getting that under control will help a lot.

Were you able to do the apnea before you had your baby? Often it can be difficult to achieve a vacuum when starting out. You can try this trick to feel the apnea so you get a sensation for it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/patoq9SS1dm8f30.html You should allow your tummy to relax completely when you do it, make sure you don't try to pull the tummy in as that will make it contract which will prevent a proper apnea.

This video has a lower core strength test: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZl0nrp2nbfDlmg.html and a few simple exercises to get the lower core working.
