Feeling the wrap and connection of the transverse is a crucial skill to learn. You also need to know how to maintain this connection to continue to support and stabilize the body during exercise and in everyday life. TVA counting challenges you to maintain the TVA activation as you count - starting at 10 and building to 25.
Ali takes you through our 'Hug your baby' exercise to activate your TVA which forms the foundation of your prenatal core work.
The sideways elevator targets the deep connection of the TVA and the isolations ask you to be able to control the level of connection without ever letting go completely. Ali does this fundamental demonstration in all fours to challenge the connection of the muscles even more.
In this video Ali demonstrates an important pelvic floor exercise similar to a kegel type move. It is an important exercises to master as the activation mimics what you need to do when you sneeze or cough to not pee!
