Learn and practice some common barbell lifts, just a few times each with tummysafe techniques that prevent Diastasis and pelvic floor issues. Notice the chapters and use them to skip to different lifts.

They’re loaded with all kinds of plates on the ends, and they grimace as they drop into squats or lunge positions, pressing the weight straight up then slamming it down on the ground. I’m guess your goals are different than theirs, but they had to […]

Hot Yoga Flow I Standing Exercises – C/TS 💙

Posted on by Beth Learn
This builds on our 'Hot Yoga Prep' workout which is a set pattern of 26 poses practiced in many studios around the world. It’s far from TummySafe, yet it’s very beneficial for flexibility, spines, knees, lymphatics, digestion, and more. So I’ve been studying it and breaking it down into a Diastasis-aware series you can practice at home. This workout contains all the standing poses at a harder level than the prep video we already released, yet still “holding back” and modifying. Hot Yoga Flow II (releasing 2024) contains all the floor poses. Please note that the autogenerated captions don’t speak Sanskrit even though 2 million people do LOL!

This challenging routine builds on our ‘Hot Yoga 26 + 2 Prep‘ workout which would be wise to do before this one. Hot Yoga is a set pattern of 26 poses practiced in many studios around the world. Traditionally, it’s far from TummySafe, yet the poses are scientifically proven to be very beneficial for flexibility, […]
