This class is all about deepening your core connection by discovering and restoring optimal ribcage alignment while lying on your back. During pregnancy, your ribs expand to make space for baby—this is essential, but post-birth, we need to close the ribs back in. Why? Because rib flare disrupts core and pelvic floor synergy, weakens deep abdominals, affects posture, and impairs breathing mechanics.
This class gently guides you to build awareness, reset rib alignment, and begin strengthening your core from the inside out. You may need one or two pillows depending on personal comfort and support.
