Class 7: Psoas Release and Core + Arm Integration
Step 1: Immediately After Birth
•
15m
This class begins with a deeply effective psoas release—a must after pregnancy. Your psoas likely became tight during pregnancy due to postural shifts, core instability, stress, and prolonged sitting. Tightness in this muscle can lead to low back pain, pelvic floor dysfunction, and core disconnection postpartum. Releasing it helps restore alignment and function.
You’ll then layer in core work with arm integration, learning how to stabilize from your core instead of compensating with your back. This is essential every time you pick up your baby. You'll practice keeping the ribs stacked over the pelvis while moving the arms—an important pattern to reestablish post-birth.
