Because bodies change and need different support at different times.
Yoga traditionally includes asanas (the postures and movements), pranayama (breathing practices) and dhyana (meditation), amongst other practices.
Hypopressives target the relationship between the pelvic diaphragm and the respiratory diaphragm using deep breathing to improve pelvic floor integrity in relation to incontinence, prolapse and core strength issues.
Yoga and Hypopressives support:
Tessa incorporates hypopressive techniques, functional movement and yoga to give you a targeted series of exercises to support your pelvic health.
Weakness or tightness in the pelvic floor can track from other parts of the body, compensating for postural issues, restriction from scars and other issues. She will provide movements that work holistically with your whole body to bring about balance.
Tessa will assess your individual needs and create a simple programme that is doable and realistic within your daily schedule.
You will have access to a recording of your session to support your practice of the exercises.
