What is Hypopressives?
Hypopressives is a system of body positions, combined with breathing patterns, combined with a false breath or an apnea. It requires effort and focus, but not exertion. (you won't get tired and sweaty the same as if you go for a run) You wear comfortable clothes that you can move in. Here is a quick video of me in a pose, breathing, doing an apea at the end. At Kootenay Hypopressive, you start by working one on one with Carmen and develop a manageable home practice. There is also the potential to attend a small class to practice and learn with others at the same level. (more info here)
How to Start

Book on the scheduler below or, call or email or message on Facebook. You can also use the contact form here. We can discuss your needs and hopefully set up an appointment.
​
At Kootenay Hypopressive, my approach is a cooperative effort on behalf of myself (Carmen) and you. I commit to teaching with compassion, care and individual adaptation and you commit to practice, patience and persistence. It is not hard, just new.
