While the forum is now closed, we have left it intact because of the amazing amount of important data it has collected over its fifteen year life. It is searchable and we encourage women to make use of it.
Questions should be directed to the Whole Woman Community Message Board going forward.
Many thanks to everyone who made use of the forum and took the time and effort to help out others who often came to Whole Woman in a dark place, desperate for information, and came away with hope, encouragement, and the tools they needed to stabilize and reverse their conditions.
You have all made a difference here.
Best wishes,

Hi Marric,
Hi Marric,
When starting in the posture, the muscles and fascia of the abdomen are contracted making it difficult at first to torso breath. I found when I first began that issue as well, and over time by doing what I will suggest next consistently it became easier.
Keep pulling up into the posture and practice belly breathing on the floor with a rolled up towel under your lumbar curve.
There are great chair belly breathing exercises and elevator breathing exercises while on the floor. These and consistently keeping in the posture will lengthen the front abdominal wall to accommodate breathing.
Keep this up, consistency is the key.
All the best,
Aussie Soul Sister

Posture and breathing
I just finishing wiping my kitchen floor. Decided to use damp cloth dnd get down on hands and knees and as I was doing that my bladder prolapse without my noticeing it was perfectly in place. I wasn't even thinking about breathing or posture. Does that make sense? Maybe I wasn't doing something right but it isperfectly in place.

4-legged creatures
Yes of course! As WW teaches us, we are four-legged creatures from the hips down. On hands and knees, our pelvic organs are comfortably nestled in the lower belly where they belong. The trick is to try and keep that dynamic when we stand upright. That is what this work is all about. - Surviving
