Welcome to Fourthified!  I am honored to be a guide on your postpartum fitness journey!

Breath work is a HUGE part of the postpartum recovery process.  This lesson takes you through the why and the how of breathing after birth.

Directly following birth, our main goal is rest and recovery.  In the midst of acclimating to a new tiny human, it's easy to forget that our bodies have just done some incredible work and need time to recover!  

While recovery remains at the forefront of our work for weeks 3 & 4, we can begin to add a little bit more movement as we feel ready to do so.

Breathwork will forever be an important part of your postpartum recovery.  Here are some additional positions in which you can try to do your connection breath.

Recovery is, of course, still at the forefront of your postpartum training. Listen to your body here to determine whether you should move on to weeks 5 & 6 or stick with the first four weeks of training.

As you continue to rebuild your body after pregnancy and delivery, weeks 7-10 start to bring more focus onto reintegrating more of your muscles so you can continue building foundational strength.

As you move forward into weeks 11-14, you might be feeling ready to take on the world, but you are still repairing your body from pregnancy and delivery.  Keep listening to your body and do what feels right!  This work should be enhancing your life, not adding stress and discomfort.

Your fourth trimester is not the time to try the latest fad diet that you saw on the internet.  It's a time to fuel your body so it can recover and rebuild after the trauma of pregnancy and delivery!

It's not goodbye, it's see you later...if you need me!
