Tap Into Calm: A Quick Grounding Technique for Overwhelmed Moms

by Dara & Laura Trainers | Dec 19, 2024 | Blog, Live Well, Wellness

Let’s talk self-care, mama. Not the “book a spa day” kind (although that sounds dreamy), but the real-life kind. The kind you can do in the middle of the chaos—because, well… mom life can feel a lot like sensory overload. The baby’s crying, your older kid is calling...

Struggling to feel your core working, no matter ho Struggling to feel your core working, no matter how many exercises you do? 🤔💭 Here’s what so many postpartum coaches miss when teaching core strengthening… 👉 Your core isn’t just held back by weakness—it’s also restricted by TENSION. The flashy core workouts you see all over social media? They grab attention (hello, toned abs 👀), but they don’t tell the whole story. And you deserve the full picture. If your core still feels weak, it might not be from lack of strength—but from stiffness in areas that are blocking your core from doing its job: 🔥 Upper back + chest 🔥 Lower back 🔥 Outer hips + glutes 💡 The good news? A little feel-good mobility work to release tension in these spots will reduce pressure on your core and help it function better—naturally. Which means… those core exercises will finally start to work the way they should. 💪 Be sure to follow @reset.movement.club for expert-led, research-backed, and pressure-free postpartum movement tips! 🙌 #postpartumpilates #postnatalyoga #coreandfloor #corerestore #athomeworkoutsformoms #postpartumcore
That feeling when your shoulders are no longer stu That feeling when your shoulders are no longer stuck up by your ears and the searing pain in your neck is gone. Feels pretty great, right?!? Taking care of little ones or juggling work, life and kids can leave you feeling STIFF! With a bit of STRESS heaped on. Not to mention EXHASUTION. Maybe a little bit of WEAKNESS. 👆Well that right there is a recipe for feeling like you’ve been hit by a truck! 🚚💥 Luckily it doesn’t take much to breathe some life into your body- and you’ve got the power to change the way you feel in your body- right at your fingertips! Just a few minutes of stretching and moving your body can release tension, ease those aches and pains and leave you feeling taller and more free. Don’t believe me?

Let me be the one to remind you: DOING MORE ISN’ Let me be the one to remind you: DOING MORE ISN’T ALWAYS BETTER. And honestly, in my experience- it rarely is. If you’re feeling weak, sore, or frustrated by core and pelvic floor symptoms, doing more of the same exercises just isn’t going to cut it! 🙅‍♀️ But learning the foundations of what makes core exercises more effective? That’s where the real magic happens. 🪄✨ Here are 3 things to check in on next time you’re doing a core exercise like plank, bird/dog, or dead bug: 1️⃣ ARE YOU HOLDING YOUR BREATH? Breath is everything. Holding it increases pressure on your abdominal wall and pelvic floor. Focus on steady breathing—it’s the key to supporting your core and pelvic floor function. 2️⃣ ARE YOU KEEPING A STACKED POSITION? Your core muscles work best when your spine is aligned and stable. If you’re sinking into your back or arching, adjust to find that stacked, supported position. 3️⃣ ARE YOUR ABDOMINALS HUGGING IN? Engaging your core means your abs should feel taut and gently drawing inward. If your belly is bulging or pushing out, that’s a sign your core muscles are struggling to handle the load. 👉 You don’t have to guess your way through this! Be sure to follow along @reset.movement.club for practical, judgement-free and feel-good postpartum movement tips! 💖 #coreandfloor #postpartumcore #pelvicfloortips #postpartumcoreexercises #restoreyourcore

Out with old and in with the new! Before I had k Out with old and in with the new! Before I had kids spending hours at the gym or going to a yoga class was easy. So when I became a mom and I was responsible for other little humans- and working around their schedule, it felt incredibly overwhelming to find ways to make movement fit my new life. But when I stopped focusing on how things used to look and instead embraced my new life, I could finally see new opportunities and create a movement routine that actually fit this new life of mine. ✨I was finally able to get into a consistent groove. ✨I felt calmer and way less stressed. ✨I started feeling stronger and having less pain. What do you need to let go of- and what do you need to embrace to create a sustainable and consistent exercise routine? #homeworkoutsformoms #dietculturedropout #haes #progressoverperfection #momswhoworkout #mentalhealthformoms
Hands up if the idea of early morning workouts mak Hands up if the idea of early morning workouts makes you want to cry. 🙋‍♀️ Let’s get real—early mornings don’t work for everyone, and that’s OK. So here’s the deal: 1️⃣ Sleep comes first. Quality sleep is non-negotiable for both your mental and physical health. If you’re already running on empty, squeezing in extra rest so you can feel human (and deal with alllll the things) should be the priority. 2️⃣ There’s more than one way to fit in movement. Dragging yourself out of bed at dawn isn’t the only option for staying active. Here are a few of my favourite mom-tested time slots for working out that don’t require sacrificing your sleep: 💡 POST BREAKFAST : If your kiddos are early risers, make the most of those early hours. They’re fed, they’re happy (for now), and you’ve got a pocket of time to pull out your mat. Bonus points if your partner is around and can be on kid duty. 💡 NAP TIME: Your baby’s most reliable nap is golden. Resist the urge to clean or do laundry—those chores can wait until after you’ve moved your body. Trust me, you’ll feel so much better! 💡 BEFORE DINNER: If you’ve got older kids in school or daycare, this can be a sweet spot. Let them unwind with some screen time or independent play while you squeeze in a quick workout. Extra credit if you’ve prepped dinner ahead or have a crockpot meal ready to go! 💡 WEEKENDS: Take advantage of the slower pace on weekends and the extra support of your partner and block off some time for yourself without the weekday chaos. 💡 THROUGHOUT THE DAY: If you’re home with your littles all day, workouts might feel impossible—but hear me out. Start small, be okay with interruptions, and roll with it. Over time, they’ll get used to it, and the novelty will fade. What’s your favorite time slot to work out? Or if you’re still searching, let me know which one of these feels doable! Remember, the best workout is the one you can actually do. 💪 Let’s find your groove together! #motherhoodunfiltered #momlifebelike #athomeworkouts #athomeworkoutsformoms #momhacks
In those early days postpartum, EVERYTHING felt so In those early days postpartum, EVERYTHING felt sore and stiff. And my pelvic floor? Non-existent. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a lot of guidance around introducing gentle and safe movement in those first 6 weeks. And I had to just deal with the pain and discomfort until I was “cleared” for exercise. Now, I know there are so many things we can do in those early days that not only help us feel better but also PROMOTE healing and assist with recovery! And I’m so happy to be able to share this info with new moms so they don’t feel frustrated and overwhelmed, like I did. A few of the first things to focus on postpartum are: ✨ Releasing tension around the mid-back to support core function. ✨ Tending to sore, tight muscles around your hips and pelvis to reduce pressure on your pelvic floor. 
 ✨ Gently reconnecting to your core and pelvic floor muscles to feel more supported through everyday movements. If your body is calling out for some love, I got you!
