We are delighted to welcome Abby Lord to Body Control Pilates Central with her first masterclass all about Hypopressives!

Hypopressives have immense potential to rehabilitate chronic,
unspecified low back pain, posture imbalance, breathing and
pelvic floor dysfunction, and so much more. The combination
of focused breathwork and active lengthening positions lend
Hypopressives to many modalities, therefore the International
Hypopressive Council actively encourage the combination of
Hypopressives with other practices, such as Pilates!

In this introductory masterclass, Abby will present the theory behind
Hypopressives, looking at how taking a holistic approach to
rehabilitation of the body (especially the pelvic floor) is so
important. Abby will then combine some of the
fundamental series poses with the Hypopressives signature
breath to give you a taster of what Hypopressives is all about
and why it is so effective.

You will not need any equipment for this class.

Please note Part 2 will be added in September 2023!

Abby is one of the world’s leading Hypopressive trainers and coaches.
She completed her training in Spain with Tamara Rial and Piti Pinsach,
and was then the first person to bring Hypopressives to Scotland.
From there, she has joined forces with other trainers around the
world to create the first truly International Hypopressive Programme
of Teacher Training, developing a multidisciplinary approach to
Hypopressives and training trainers of the highest calibre.
Abby has been a teacher for many years, from teaching toddlers’
ballet to English teaching in South Korea and teaching High School
Drama. She found her way back to ‘the body’ after suffering multiple
prolapses after the birth of her babies. Discovering Hypopressives
was a game-changer and she has since developed and
strengthened her understanding of the method through attending
training in Spain, through personal training, anatomy courses, Pilates
training (she’s still to qualify) and now into training on the nervous
system with polyvagal theory and TRE. All these modalities have
brought depth to her understanding of Hypopressives and further
fuelled her realisation that ‘the more you learn, the less you know’.
The learning journey continues...
Abby coaches in person from her studio in East Lothian, online via
Zoom, and through the ‘on demand’ channel, ‘Moonrise Health’.
She also runs regular online teacher training courses and the
first live Level 1 since Covid is coming at the start of December.
She welcomes questions about anything body, pelvic floor and
Hypopressive-related.
