Video 1: Activating/Bracing Your Core & Breathing

Bracing the core during exercise is an important technique to utilize so you can prevent excessively bearing down on the pelvic floor and pushing out on the core, which can further exacerbate diastasis recti during pregnancy. This video will walk you through how to utilize your breath when bracing and how to implement it into your everyday life tasks.

Pelvic floor relaxation is just as important as strengthening our pelvic floor. And in many cases, we may have a TOO TIGHT of pelvic floor which means our focus needs to be more on lengthening and releasing. In this video we will go over how to initiate pelvic floor relaxation and helpful positions to feel the pelvic floor LET GO.

Video 2: Pelvic Floor Relaxation & Breathing

There are 2 types of breath patterns that can be helpful during labor and pushing. In this video we will walk through how to practice them and how they could be beneficial for you!

Video 3: Labor & Breathing

your motherhood journey empowered

“I’m so happy I bought the Mind Body Core Prenatal program. The time commitment is actually feasible and I feel so much more confident going into my pregnancy and birth knowing that I’ll be strong enough — mentally and physically — to approach the challenge.

I know a lot of people are afraid of the birth process but between Doc Lizzie’s daily content and this program, I know I’ll be prepared and I’m not afraid of it. The movements themselves in the workouts are challenging but doable. I love listening to Doc Lizzie’s simple tips and “watch outs” during the workouts so I can check in with my form and know it’s correct throughout pregnancy.

I also like that I need minimal equipment and the variety of options. I’m especially enjoying the mobility and core pieces as I get further into my pregnancy. As a first-time mom, the education has been invaluable as well.”
