How your Hypopressives Course works

How to get the best out of your Hypopressives course?



Congratulations on your purchase of the Hypopressives program! This unique and effective method can help improve your core strength, posture, and overall well-being. To ensure you get the most out of your practice, follow these steps to get started:




Allocate 10 Minutes a Day:


Begin by setting aside a dedicated 10 minutes each day for your Hypopressives practice. Consistency is key, so finding a time that works for you and sticking to it will yield the best results. We recommend early mornings on an empty stomach or ideally with a 2 hour interval since your last meal




Start with Foundations:


As a beginner, it's essential to start with the foundational exercises. These are the building blocks of the Hypopressives method and will help you establish a strong base before progressing to more advanced techniques. Pay close attention to your instructor's guidance regarding posture, active lengthening principles and lateral breath.





Follow the Order of Your Course:


Be sure to follow the prescribed order of exercises. This sequence is carefully designed to help you gradually build your skills and prevent injury. Avoid skipping ahead until you're confident in your foundation.

Send in a Video for 1-on-1 Feedback:


Our program offer the option to send in videos of your practice for personalized feedback. This is an excellent way to ensure you're performing the exercises correctly and getting the most benefit from your efforts. Don't hesitate to take advantage of this valuable resource. This is included in your purchase. You get personalised videos like the below within 24 hours on weekdays




Unlock More Content:


Once your trainer approves your technique, you get access to the foundational poses and 10 minute daily flow videos! The poses teach you all the 8 poses in the foundational series and the flows combine the poses into a seamless movement. These flows are your daily practice to do for 3-6 months!

Tips for Knowing You're Doing it Right:


Here are some tips to help you know that you're performing Hypopressives correctly:

a. Check Your Posture: Ensure that you maintain proper posture throughout the exercises. Your instructor will guide you on maintaining a neutral spine, engaging your core, and relaxing your shoulders.

b. Focus on your Breath: Hypopressives involve specific breathing techniques. Pay attention to your breath and synchronize it with the movements as instructed.

c. Engage Your Core: Feel the engagement of your deep core muscles. You should sense a gentle, but not excessive, contraction in your abdominal and pelvic floor muscles.

d. No Straining: Hypopressives should not cause discomfort or strain. If you experience pain or discomfort, stop the exercise and consult with your instructor or a healthcare professional.

e. Gradual Progression: As you become more skilled, you should notice improvements in your core strength, posture, and overall well-being. This progress is a sign that you're on the right track.
