Firebreathing

Body: 

I am new to this technique and seem to be having some difficulty with the in breath part. When I do the exhale I can feel my organs suck in but when I attempt the inhale through the nose, I can feel them pop back out. I have a cystocele (I think it is grade 3) and am 9 weeks post partum. Does anyone have any advice on how to do the inhale part - I have the book, but can't seem to figure out how to do it properly.

Thanks!!!!

not sure if this will help, but double check this:
when you inhale make sure your tailbone is lifting up and your belly is staying soft
also, when I started with the firebreathing I felt everything get sucked up when I exhaled and it all fell back into original (prolapse-y) place as soon as I inhaled again. so I'm not sure if this means you're doing something wrong, or that it just takes time. stick with it.

Thanks - I will keep working on it. It sounds like you had the same difficulty as me. I finally figured out how to do the plies properly - I don't know why or how but, finally today when I do them everything sucks back up into place. It is VERY exciting so I have been wandering around doing a couple as soon as I feel things fall down. Hopefully all of this work will help keep things in place so I can start to get back to my regular activities!

I really appreciate the advice and feedback!

for me, each piece of the posture, firebreathing, plies, etc was weeks and weeks of stumbling around half-blind and suddenly an aha! moment when my body seemed to 'get' it.
sounds like you're making progress. slow & steady can be a frustrating pace, but I'll take it.
