[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Something a bit different for you all today! I hope you enjoy the wall sequence 💙

[@Katie-Roth-7]

The sitting variations were a great way to feel the vacuum a little more.

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Perfect 🤩

[@KnittyWoman]

You are amazing, Alice! This work is such a gift. I am enjoying the variety so much, as I feel my strength and posture change 😊

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

So wonderful to hear this Shawn! Thank you so much 💙

[@librarianne827]

Amazing! Loved the wall supported poses especially.

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Ah great! Love using the wall too!

[@antbrown9430]

Thank you Alice, the wall felt cold this morning. A good flow

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

It's that time of the year 😂❄️

[@christiansocialenterprise1488]

Challenging even if leaning on the wall and sitting down. Loved it.

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

💙🙌🏻💙

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Great - so glad there's some good variety for you!

Hi Alice! Once thank you Just 10 days following your hypo practice I am glad to say that the incipient superficial varicous veins in my legs have incredibly improved and are on the way to disappear Going on further 🙏🤗

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

That is so wonderful to hear!!

[@Katie-Roth-7]

Still a favorite!

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Yay!

[@carolineholt3012]

This was lovely! I felt like it really opened my chest area, thank you!

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Ah wonderful!

[@antbrown9430]

Thank you Alice A good one for today.

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Just what I needed too! Always enjoy wall work more than I think I will :)

[@missycp1993]

Thank you for all your videos. What do you think of hand/head stands for prolapse? Is there a hypopressive for that?

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

I've found elevating the pelvis for an inversion is great (bridge / head down quadruped), but I wouldn't attempt a vacuum in a hand or head stand!!

[@heathersmith4224]

Went back to do this now I have some wall! Found breathing in these positions quite challenging, but thank you. x

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Well done - this is an advanced progression!

[@rebeccawebbe1025]

Really good, thankyou

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Great! 💙

[@lucycharmley8414]

Day 9 done - a week behind as we've all had covid. 😬

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Ah well done - sorry you've been unwell - hope you're all feeling better. Lots of people joining all the time so at various stages too!

[@pembie7859]

Hi Alice, I’m going through lift again before the new challenge. I have a question. Is it common to feel a loss of connection sometimes with you pf?

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Hi Pembie, if you've meaning that in some poses you feel more shift / lift than others, and other poses are just harder and you've not really conscious of what your pelvic floor is going then yes! The pelvic floor and diaphragm synergy is going to be happening in the background, so even if you're not feeling a connection - it is responding automatically!

[@katiedundas9612]

HI Alice, I felt this a lot in my mid back. Does that indicate diaphragm tightness, or maybe just poor posture? It was a good one, definitely a little more challenging, thank you!

[@hypopressiveswithalice]

Hi Katie, unfortunately it's difficult to say without watching what you're doing - but it could be your alignment in the poses. Make sure your ribs are stacked over your pelvis in the poses and that you're not arching your back. Alice x
