Breathing is a Foundation for Movement

Breathing is the BUILDING BLOCK for strength.

 Do you feel like you’ve been doing everything right, but something just feels off when you follow the exercises you saved on social media? Or that you’re mimicking movements in a strength training class at your gym but wake up with pain or discomfort the next day? 

Let’s build that foundation together so you can take on all that life asks of you! Continue scrolling to learn more.

One of the most important pieces of movement, healing and strengthening is BREATH WORK. 

Sometimes your diaphragm ends up doing more than its share when other muscles aren't contributing effectively.

One of the most important pieces of movement, healing and strengthening is breath work. Poor pressure management and a lack of coordination of the diaphragm, abdominal wall, pelvic floor, and deep back muscles can affect movement and can affect movement quality, lifting mechanics, and spinal stability.

Whether you're recovering from pregnancy or beginning your strength training journey, helping these systems work together creates the foundation for moving well and feeling your best.

Foundational BREATH WORK

Here’s what we’ll work on together and how it’ll support your strength journey:

We created breath work sessions that are designed to help you:

  • Learn the basics! We’ll practice 360 breathing, and a number of breathing based exercises and stretches that may help reduce tension and discomfort in your neck and low back.

  • Find better balance and coordination with movement

  • Progress from breathing basics, to breathing while maintaining pressure and core stability 

  • Assess your movement and breathing patterns to prepare you for what’s ahead- whether that’s an active form of movement like weight lifting, cycling, running, etc or the day to day functions of carrying groceries, lifting children, gardening, etc. 

  • Build a foundation that supports your current exercise routine or future goals.

At The Strength Continuum, we believe breathing is such an important foundation for movement and strength that we'd love for you to experience it firsthand. Your first Breathing Foundations session is on us.
