Hypopressives | Restore Your Core & Pelvic Floor Without Kegels
A gentle, holistic method to lift, strengthen, and reconnect with your body, through breath, posture, and awareness.
What Are Hypopressives?
Hypopressives are not about squeezing harder, the way you are asked to with traditional pelvic floor exercises. They are about learning how to use your whole body to support your pelvic floor and give it space to heal, engage or join in.
They are a gentle yet powerful method that helps you to retrain your breath and posture, so your body naturally supports your pelvic floor, core, and spine. Instead of increasing pressure, as many traditional exercises do, Hypopressives help your body manage pressure effectively. This creates the environment for your organs to lift, your diaphragm to move freely, and your nervous system to find calm again.
By combining specific breathing techniques 360 lateral costal full body breathing and our unique rib stretch(apnoea) with postural alignment and awareness, Hypopressives re-educate your body to restore reflexive core and pelvic floor engagement. This happens naturally without force, strain, or endless Kegels.
It feels like a magical practice because it changes how your body feels from the inside out.

How Hypopressives Work
This isn’t just another pelvic floor programme, it’s a full-body relearn of how to breathe, move, and actually connect with your body again. The kind of stuff that changes how you feel, not just how you function.
-
Think of this as your inner lift there is no squeezing, no straining. During the breath pause, your ribs open and your chest space widens, creating a natural vacuum that gently lifts the pelvic organs. Your pelvic floor rises all on its own. Totally reflexive. Totally effortless.
-
Every pose in Hypopressives reawakens your deep system of muscles and fascia these are the ones that hold you together and help you feel strong. As your posture restores, pressure spreads evenly again. That heaviness, that drag, that tightness? Starts to melt away.
-
This is the real game-changer. Hypopressives teach your body how to handle pressure properly so your bladder, bowels, and core can do their jobs without strain. No more crossing your legs when you sneeze or bracing every time you cough. Your system learns to adapt naturally.
-
Each breath taps into your vagus nerve, your body’s built-in calm switch. That means less tension, better sleep, and more emotional ease. It’s how we move from stress to safety, from holding on… to finally letting go.
