Thank you! I’ve watched 20 or 30 diastasis recti videos and settled here because it feels like home. The technique is very clearly explained and the progression so intelligent. I’m sticking with #1 for a couple weeks until I no longer feel moments of disconnect. Then on to #2. At that point do we do both workouts back to back or just do #2? Also, I’m doing this every day is it a good idea to do this kind of work as an ongoing daily plan? ...or is this just until my core is healed/strengthened?
Thank you Michele! I'm so glad that this class resonated with you. Daily is great for now as you are learning to reconnect to your core...once you feel ready to progress from #1, you can just do #2 on it's own...or alternate the two of them every other day. Once your core is healed, it is a good idea to keep up this kind of work to maintain your connections - even if it's not every day. I do have some Weekly Workout Plans on my TH-cam playlists that may be helpful. Here's the link to Week 1: th-cam.com/play/PLjP8YJIyEVB85Ts-JvRNLvpBydmrj3rdC.html Please let me know if you have other questions!
Wonderful, thank you so much! My husband is deployed overseas and today he did this video too. He is committed to understanding the core connections as I work through these changes after our third sweet baby. We both thank you....I do have two questions: does feeling your pelvic floor always mean a Keagal ? ...and I’m a lifelong ballet dancer...should I stay away from certain types of ballet movements...I’m assuming torso twisting etc for now?
@@michelemacdonald3139 Aww, your husband sounds so supportive! Yes, you are correct - the pelvic floor contraction is a Kegel. When one is very flexible, it can be harder to maintain control of all that motion. So you may just need to keep motions a bit smaller (such as deep twists or leg kicks/circles) as you're gaining core stability. In Pilates, control is always more important that large ranges of motion.
Glad you enjoyed it! I would do #1 3-5 times before progressing to #2. Once you're feeling connected to your breathe, pelvic floor and deep abdominals during #1, then you're ready for the next one. Hope that helps!
I just wanted to say thank you! After having twins my diastasis is about 6". Do you ever see large gaps healing with exercise or at a certain point is surgical the only option? I've done this workout twice and it is the first diastasis workout that hasn't asked me to do a plank which I can see is just making my diastasis worse- so thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure! I'm so happy that it helped you. I have seen large gaps improve with exercise but if you do decide to have surgery at any point, it will be incredibly helpful to have established some core support beforehand.

Nice one! For how long do we have to practice #1 until we move on to #2?
