This 15 minute class features some great exercises for diastasis recti that will help you strengthen and repair your damaged muscles. If you’ve been working on your postpartum stomach and not seeing any results, chances are you have diastasis recti or abdominal separation.

This class is designed specifically for all you mamas dealing with diastasis recti. It works both the hard muscles of the abs (the rectus abdominus) PLUS the soft and pliable muscle of the transverse abdominus (often called the “TVA” or tranverse). These two muscles are essential to bringing your core back together after giving birth (or any time your belly stretches, like with pregnancy or extreme weight loss).

Diastasis recti (or “split belly”) occurs when the ab muscles separate during pregnancy, causing a gap in between them. This causes the muscles to weaken over time, which means there’s less support for your stomach and organs, which can cause back pain, poor posture and digestive issues like heartburn and constipation. It is also the cause for ‘mommy belly’.

If you have a diastasis recti, there are exercises that can help you fix it — but they take time, practice and patience. If you haven’t been exercising regularly before having a baby, this can be especially challenging as your body recovers from pregnancy and birth but with the right guidance I’m confident not only will you get the results you want, you’ll actually really enjoy the process as well.

It can be challenging getting back on track with your fitness regimen after having a baby—but don’t worry! This class is a  great place to get started.

While diastasis recti is quite common—it affects about 60% or more of all women who have been pregnant—it can be fixed with targeted exercises that work your abdominal muscles so they’ll start working together again instead of pulling apart from each other like an elastic band being stretched too far by two people pulling in opposite directions at once!

If you’re feeling ready to work on healing your postpartum belly this Pelvic Mama class is for you.

Activating your transverse abdominis (your TVA) will help support your core through everyday movements like walking, picking up a baby/toddler, bending over and lifting.

No matter what fitness level you are at or how long it has been since you were last pregnant, it is possible to strengthen this muscle that has atrophied during pregnancy.

The exercises in this class are easy to do (variations are offered for differing levels) and can be done daily. Practicing these exercises at least 3-5 times per week will help you feel better in your body and within a few weeks you’ll start to see and feel a big difference in your appearance and strength.

Fitness is a journey, not a race. It is about taking small steps and mastering the fundamentals. The bottom line is that you want to make sure you are avoiding any excessive strain from any other forms of exercise you are doing while trying to repair your split abs.
