Better breathing makes all the difference! If you have troubles with these instructions, try slowing down, and make your breathing even gentler. You don't need to "overdo" it. It should never feel like a struggle. Check the video notes for additional links/resources!

[@bingersinger1517]

Bri, excellent explanation of the pelvic floor role in support! As a university Voice instructor, I have taught 360 breathing, but didn’t consider the pelvic floor involvement. Thank you for this personal revelation. I began 6 months ago to experience prolapse issue😢 I’m grateful you feature PT options and target prolapse issues!

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

You're welcome! I'm glad you found the explanation helpful. The interconnectedness of various aspects of our body, including the pelvic floor, is indeed fascinating. It's wonderful that you, as a voice instructor, can appreciate the importance of 360 breathing.

[@yigalf.6136]

Thanks! Hi, I am a Feldenkrais practitioner from Israel. I enjoyed your "How to Breath for Prolapse" video very very much. It gets along very well with my understanding of the body, and also, you deliver the theme so clearly. Thanks again for the delight, Yigal Fisher

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!

[@anajiminez7447]

Dr thank you su much for very important s videos I just had second time surgery today is a month and my surgeon told me after only one week I was ready to go back to the gym I didn't only doing walking should I just walk and plan to do your videos thank 🙏🙏

[@pembie7859]

Excellent video Dr. Bri. Trying to soften my obliques they always seem to fire first. Would love to see a video on how to deal with rib flare - keeping ribs down during DR excercises

[@bonniekoenig377]

Wish she was my doctor. I love her approach and relaxing voice.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Thank you!

[@LPSStarsTM]

this what I have needed, thank you

[@KeishaKiger]

I’m so glad I found you. Your explanations are so helpful and I’ve tried to find pelvics were before and these are the best. I’m going to binge watch them.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Glad you like them!

[@monikascholz6654]

Thankyou for this.😊 East west breathing they call it in T-tapp .

[@emelielarsson3042]

Please make a video talking about if you actually have damaged and unrepairable muscles. Like levator ani muscles when it has tore from the bone. And when you have no perenium at all left. I have only 2 muscles left in my entire pelvic floor. And now they are hurting because they do all the work 🤦‍♀️ Thank you 💖 And if misspelled, english is not my first language 😅

[@emelielarsson3042]

Affraid to operate because new problemes like incontinens. I have rectocele and cystocele and the symptoms are heavy feeling, barely any feeling sexually and cant orgasm, hurting and tight muscles. Uncomfortable 🙃

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

I'm sorry to hear about your difficulties! With levator avulsion, which sounds like what you are describing, one of the most important things would be to learn lifestyle tips to manage intra-abdominal pressure. This includes how to stand and sit with great posture/alignment, how to lift correctly, how to improve digestion so that you don't have to strain to use the toilet, and how to breathe during transitions (i.e. exhaling as you move from sit to stand). I talk about all of these lifestyle tips (and more) in my Lift program, and you can also find several helpful videos in this playlist: kzbin.info/aero/PLDputRBPsHFTcHQ4dlmSwOrd5xnMS_cpj (scroll down for videos about posture, lifting, etc.)

[@k.pep.1253]

Love this so much. Thank you! 2 Questions- Do I need to purchase any equipment for your Lyft program? What type of cushion are you sitting on?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Yoga blocks can helpm and you can use cushions you may have at home. Dt. Bri is sitting on a yoga cushion/ bolster ~ Leila

[@sharonclark7371]

What type of pillow are you sitting on, and how is that beneficial?

[@נופרידלין-לומברוזו]

I saw you talking about engaged breathing or zipping breathing while lifting heavy things. But what about endurance exercises? Is it best to breath this 360c while running and etc as well?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Great question! During running or other endurance exercises, you want to focus on great alignment/form, and you want to breathe normally (you do NOT want to be actively engaged or zipped up through your core the entire time). You can still do the 360-degree core breathing as described in this video, but you do not want to maintain a "zip" like you would during an activity that needs extra activation (such as lifting, pushing, pulling, balance challenges, or a set of isolated core moves). Hope this helps clarify!

[@triciabarnes268]

I want that cushion she sitting on. Anyone know what it is? Where to get it?

[@BiancaHards]

This makes a lot of sense! Would you suggest this AND kegals? Thank you!!

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Kegels can help strengthen the pelvic floor as long as they are done correctly. It's also important to know that they can exacerbate pelvic pain/ tension for hypertonic pelvic floors. A pelvic floor PT can provide individualized guidance and help you determine if they are good for your current needs. ~Vibrant Support

[@claudpirros1321]

Thanks this was great. What kind of a workout do you do to stay lean and what kind of eating do you do.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Here's what I eat in a day! kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKOQmK2IaL50npY

[@Sara-od2li]

Do you begin the inhale in your lower abs and then up into your ribs and then do you exhale from the rib area first and then gently draw in your upper and then lower abs? Or can you exhale through your lower abdomen up and then out of your ribs? Thank you

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

The inhale starts at the ribs and the exhale starts at the lower abs. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support

[@KatharinaBetz]

Do you recommend doing relaxation into building strength with a pessary in to sort of hold bladder prolapse up?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Please talk to your local pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance. ~Vibrant Support

[@KatharinaBetz]

@@vibrantpelvichealth I did, just wondered your thoughts as well

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Relaxation is essential when building strength, and pessaries can be very helpful for many women with prolapse. Please read this guide, there's lots of information from Dr. Bri that can help you! www.vibrantpelvichealth.com/guide-to-prolapse ~Vibrant Support@@KatharinaBetz

[@vicky7822]

Hi Thank You so much for this video - I think I’m starting to get it - but still don’t have something right - not sure what it is. When standing - to sit or sit - to stand - I feel something is not right with my breathing and general pelvic feeling. - as I am transitioning from sit to stand or stand to sit. Do I do a kegel while exhaling - I think I am holding my breath with the kegel and then maybe release at the wrong time when finish sitting or standing or starting the kegel at the wrong time. Thank You!!

[@Loulou-gw8km]

Hi Bri what’s your take on hypopressives for prolapse ?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

I have a few videos on the topic on my channel and in my Lift program.

[@Loulou-gw8km]

@@vibrantpelvichealththank you. Could you send me the link please?

[@eliuri]

Might this be a subtle way of doing Kegel-like exercise for those who can't do Kegels because of overly tight pelvic floor? Does it have similar benefits, since pelvic floor moves up and down along with breath?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

YES. Exactly! It's a wonderful way to do a subtle kegel-type of exercise where you feel the slight lift on the exhale, and the release on the inhale. It mobilizes the muscles of the core without OVERLY activating anything.

[@eliuri]

@@vibrantpelvichealth Thank you so much for clarifying. I remember u demonstrated something like that with hip circles and some gizmo placed internally. You graphically showed pelvic floor rising slightly with exhales. It's all coming together for me now..

[@stephnelsen6772]

Is this how we should always breathe? Also I am having a problem feeling my pelvic floor rise on exhale

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

I am sorry to hear that. Please talk to your pelvic floor PT for individualized guidance. ~ Vibrant Support

[@RebeccaBakk]

Should my pelvic floor be lifting automatically as I exhale or do i intentionally do it?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Your pelvic floor should naturally lift a bit as you exhale due to breathing changes. However, conscious engagement during exercises can help strengthen it. For guidance, consider working with a pelvic floor physical therapist or healthcare provider. ~ Leila from Vibrant Support

[@chaimacharef510]

It was the first time for me that I could do a really deep breath ...It was so relaxing..waw !

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

WONDERFUL!

[@rblstylelife8201]

Lovely breathing technique ..my doctor suggest me to take external biofeedback relaxation physiotherapy for 21 days...because after my rectocele surgery again it reoccure after 3mnth...is it really work? And i cant fully relax my vaginal area and bludder area ..the machine shows high value .can u pls suggest me any exercise or stretching for these areas?

[@naturegirl4074]

Are we supposed to gently lift on the exhale or are we supposed to just “feel” it. Sorry.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

For the context of this video, it's more of a sensation. You'll feel a very subtle and gentle lift of the pelvic floor as you exhale. But if you're doing something more active, such as lifting something heavy, then you can intentionally lift your pelvic floor on the exhale to provide additional core support, stability, and control!

[@ne0ncray0ns41]

OMG...ok...neurodivergent who struggles with doing ANY exercises due to severe ADHD. I get bored after 5 minutes and think its not helping so i may as well do something else...THIS IS 100% WORTH the tennish minutes it took me to figure out what the "activating" the pelvic floor meant on the looong exhale. OMG I promise everyone who struggles with giving up quick that you can feel results after doing it for a short time. 10 min to figure out what to do and then i did say 5 min sitting and 10 min while cooking and the rectocele that was making its way OUT the past 2 days has travelled back in and i dont feel like im about to lose something!! I cannot believe how fast that was! I am a teeny tiny shallow breather(barely noticeable) and struggle with 3 prolapses/anal clenching/constipation and this is the first thing that has done a lick of help and in one shot? I'm in! THANK YOUUU!😭😭😭

[@ne0ncray0ns41]

Came back next day to let you know that for the 1st time in months I have been able to use the bathroom without "equipment"! I'm ECSTATIC!

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

SO great to hear!! Thank you for sharing! I am so glad that you are here!
