Just breathe, moms.
#
Many of us go through the day stressed out and overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done. We take tiny little breaths of air and remain hunched over for much of the day... nursing babies, driving around, looking at our phone, or working at a computer.
#
- Set a timer for five minutes, or if that feels too long start with two minutes.
- Lie on the floor in this position with your legs at 90/90.
- Place your hands on your belly and breathe in slowly through your nose, focusing on getting the air all the way down into your belly and pelvis. Feel your belly rise.
- Let the air out through your mouth.
- Relax. Relax Relax.

There are so many benefits to learning how to breathe {and relax}, one of which may be a surprise to you, is that diaphragmatic breathing can help you restore your abdominal and pelvic floor muscle function postpartum...no matter how far into your postpartum journey you are.
