Reclaiming Your Core and Posture from Pregnancy to Postpartum

Pregnancy brings along so much emotional and physical change for which that you can never truly be prepared. You grow an entire human, your organs literally shift places, and your center of gravity moves out by a few inches. Then, the baby arrives, and suddenly you’re expected to carry a heavy car seat, hunch over a nursing pillow, and somehow snap back to your pre-pregnancy self.

We need to move away from the rush to return to our pre-pregnancy bodies instead, let's talk about restoring function, building true core stability, and reclaiming your posture so you can move without pain.

We are diving deep into all of this at our upcoming presentation, and we’d love for you to join us.

Join Us: Core & Posture Masterclass

  • Where: Community Memorial Hospital's New Parent Resource Center (2580 E. Main Street, Suite 101, Ventura)

  • When: June 30th at 1:00 PM

  • What to expect: A deep look at how pregnancy affects your deep abdominal wall, your pelvic floor, and your alignment and exactly how to rebuild it.

What We’ll Cover at the Event

This workshop is designed to give you highly practical skills that you can start using the second you walk out the door. Whether you are currently pregnant and trying to prevent dysfunction, or you are months (or years) postpartum and trying to resolve ongoing back pain, we’ll break down:

  1. 3D Breathing: How to use your breathing to trigger your deep core and pelvic floor.

  2. Posture Reset Rules: Simple biomechanical adjustments for sitting, standing, and carrying your baby that take pressure off your lower back.

  3. Safe Progression: How to know if an exercise is safe for your core or if it's causing too much intra-abdominal pressure.

  4. Core and pelvic muscle Integration: Learn how to coordinate into your every day movements so you can make exercise work for you.
