Bridge (Diastasis Recti)

Bridge pose is another way to strengthen your core without putting too much pressure on your core (and worsening Diastasis Recti). Exhale each time you lift your pelvis toward the ceiling and kegel. Inhale as you slowly lower.

Here are our top tips for bridge:

• Keep your feet hip width distance apart and knees in line with your ankles

• Lift your hips using the strength of your legs, not your glutes

• Keep your legs engaged once your hips are lifted. Imagine that you’re squeezing a block between your legs and you don’t want to let it fall (or actually use a block!)
