Frequently asked questions

What is the Restore Your Core Foundations course?

The Restore Your Core Foundations course will provide you with essential tools to help you to reconnect to your body. Whether you have had children or not and no matter how long ago you gave birth.   Life, our societal movement patterns, carrying a baby, giving birth to a baby (whether vaginally or by caesarean section) and then looking after and raising that baby can all take their toll on your mind and your body. 

Many of us women lose the connection with our bodies particularly with our core and pelvic floor.  Whether you are wanting to start exercising again or you want to move through your daily life feeling strong, the Restore Your Core Foundations course will give you the tools you need to reconnect with and strengthen your whole body.

Whether you choose to practice at home with the videos and manual provided or just attend the classes, every woman who attends the classes learns something about their daily movement patterns that they can then use in day to day life for all day strengthening and healing. 

Who is the Restore Your Core foundations course for?

The six week course is for you if you want:

  • To reconnect to your body after having a baby; and/or
  • To improve the strength and function of your core muscles; and/or
  • To improve pelvic floor strength and function; and/or
  • Improve or resolve continence issues; and/or
  • Heal or improve symptoms of pelvic organ prolapse and/or a diastasis recti; and/or
  • To help future proof your core and pelvic floor as you move through the phases of life.

The course can help you with all of the above regardless of whether you are pregnant, newly postnatal (after your doctor’s clearance), long time post-natal or have never had a baby.

How is a Restore Your Core course with Emma Riedo Movement different to other exercise courses or classes for core function?

It is a whole body exercise programme – we don’t just spot treat the core.  Everything in your body is connected and needs to be looked as one big jigsaw puzzle.  Throughout the course you will be given pieces of information that will help you tune into your body and to understand what it is telling you that it needs.  You will begin to understand what pieces of your own jigsaw puzzle need to work or move differently, what needs strengthening and lengthening and what needs releasing. 

As you move through the course you will learn your body’s own personal movement patterns, its blind spots and you will receive the tools to gradually repattern those movements throughout the day, so that they are more optimal.  After each class you will receive two home practice videos, one with all the instructions you received in class and one done at a faster pace with less instruction.  You will also receive a manual with all of the exercises from the class and the home practice.

I’m pregnant, can I still come to a Restore Your Core Foundations or Mindful Movement and Strength for Women course?

Yes, although we do not have a pregnancy specific class yet, the courses are still perfect for use during pregnancy either as prehab (you don’t have any symptoms or issues with core and/or pelvic floor dysfunction) or as rehab (you have symptoms of core and/or pelvic floor dysfunction).

Can I bring my baby?

Yes, you are more than welcome to bring your baby up to the age of one (give or take a few weeks – don’t worry if your baby turns one during the course) to the Mums and Babies Restore Your Core Foundations or a 1-2-1 session.

Rounded shoulders? Neck tension? Save this exerc Rounded shoulders?  Neck tension?  Save this exercise for later!

This is a favourite in my classes and we did it in the new mums and babies yoga class this week as well as in Mindful Movement and Strength for Women.  Everyone loves this move!

No bolsters?  No problem, use some blankets or cushions or a long round roller or just lie on the floor.  The idea is to be comfortable.

Bring your arms up towards the ceiling start with the palms facing each other and reach the fingertips towards the ceiling (shoulder blades move apart from each pother) and then allow your shoulder blades to draw back towards each other (either sinking into the floor or blankets or wrapping around the bolster).

Then turn the palms to face the wall behind and start bringing the hands towards the floor - keep reaching your fingertips away from your body.  When you get to around shoulder height or just before the point that’s you want to move your hands so your thumbs are no longer pointing towards the floor stop. At this level start making “snow angel” type movements by the floor.  Move slowly feeling the movement in your arms, shoulders, the sides of your body.

Have a go and let me know what you think!

Spaces available in Mums and Babies Yoga and Mindful Movement and Strength for Women so you can do this movement and more.  Link in bio to book!

Castor oil packs! Save for when you want to have Castor oil packs!  Save for when you want to have a go!

I’m by no means an expert, but castor oil packs get rave reviews for healing all kinds of aches, pains and other bodily issues.  Period pain, fertility, bruises, liver/hormone support, injuries.  These are just some of the uses I have heard people using it for.  Have a Google! It can be a messy affair but it’s definitely relaxing - I normally do it before bed, but as I woke up with period pain thought I’d do one this morning. 

What could you use it for?

Have you tried it before?
