Foundation Hypopressive Sequence | Standing to Semi-Supine Class for Pelvic Floor Health

A gentle foundation Hypopressive class moving from standing into semi-supine, designed to help you explore breath, posture, pressure management and pelvic floor connection without squeezing or bracing. This class is suitable for beginners or anyone wanting to revisit the foundations of Hypopressives with more awareness, softness and control. In this foundation Hypopressive sequence class, I’ll guide you through a gentle progression from standing into semi-supine, helping you explore posture, breath, rib expansion, apnoea preparation and whole-body organisation. This is a calm, beginner-friendly class for anyone wanting to understand the foundations of Hypopressives without forcing, gripping, bracing or squeezing the pelvic floor. Rather than trying to “tighten” everything, Hypopressives help your body find better coordination from the inside out. We’ll work with breath, posture, rib cage expansion, spinal length, pelvic floor awareness and pressure management so your body can begin to feel more spacious, responsive and supported. This class may be helpful if you are exploring: Pelvic floor symptoms such as leaking, heaviness or pressure Postnatal recovery Prolapse-safe movement foundations Breath and posture awareness Core and pelvic floor coordination Gentle movement after time away from exercise Learning Hypopressives from the beginning Rebuilding confidence in your body You do not need to be strong, flexible or experienced to take part.
