Pregnancy

Most of these breathing exercise videos are done in seated positions that are safe for pregnancy, but you may choose to reposition yourself as baby takes up more space. Use your best judgement. Here’s our Prenatal Fitness Program.

Diastasis Recti

We specialize in workout strategies for people who are dealing with Diastasis Recti. Our main mission is changing lives one tummy at a time, and we bring the core into every workout we offer. Check yourself for Diastasis Recti here.

The Box Breath

Try this: Look around the room for a square or rectangle shape. Inhale and exhale as you trace your eyes around the edges. Use a rectangle to help slow your breathing by inhaling on the short sides, and exhaling on the longer sides.

Breath Basics

Does it get more basic than the breath itself? Well, consider how many muscles and strategies can be used to breathe. Try taking big chesty breaths. Now, try bringing your breathing motion into your tummy. How about your shoulders? Do they move at all when you breathe? What happens to your breathing pattern if you sit up straight vs. slouching? Isn’t it amazing that our bodies can breath in so many ways? Let’s explore more!

The Color Series

Azure Awakening

Sometimes, when you’re feeling blue or having trouble with breathing, it’s hard to get out of bed. When your mind and body are struggling to wake up and breathe calmly, we hope this gentle start will help. You’ll begin on your bed or couch, do some easy stretches and breath exercises, and then you’ll finish sitting upright, feeling more stable and ready.

Perfect for warming up or to use as a stand-alone workout, this exercise video will wake up your lungs along with all your fascial tissues and get you ready for more movement. Your fascia is all the connective tissue that holds you together. Fascia encases your muscles and contains your nerves, and it loves swinging motions!
