MIDLIFE
CAN FEEL DIFFERENT
MAYBE THIS FEELS FAMILIAR.
A cough, laugh or workout catches you off guard. A little leaking has become something you think about more often than you’d like. That feeling of heaviness or pressure is becoming harder to ignore. You notice it through your pelvic floor, especially after a long day on your feet or certain activities. You’re doing the work, but your waistline isn’t showing it. You stay active and take care of your body, yet your midsection feels softer and less defined than you want it to. Midlife can change how your body functions and how you feel about the way it looks. You’re allowed to care about both.
WHERE FUNCTION MEETS AESTHETICS.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHOOSE.
FUNCTION

Support your body’s natural sense of control. Retrain your pelvic floor to help you feel more secure and confident throughout your active daily life. Relieve the feeling of pelvic heaviness. Create a greater sense of lift and support, helping you feel lighter and more comfortable especially through long days on your feet. Build strength that supports your life. Strengthen the deep, stabilizing muscles that carry you through your busy days with ease and give your body a solid foundation for movement and training.
AESTHETICS

Feel amazing in your favorite clothes. Shape a firmer, sleeker midsection that complements the body you work for, from the way your clothes fit to the way you feel in front of the mirror. Enhance your natural silhouette. Refine your posture and alignment for a taller, more elegant presence and a toned, feminine shape that carries confidence wherever you go. Tone your midsection from the inside out. Activate your deepest abdominal muscles to draw the abdominal wall inward, supporting a flatter looking belly and a more defined waistline.
THE ART OF HYPOPRESSIVES
A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO YOUR CORE
Hypopressives combine breath, an abdominal vacuum and precise postural work to engage and coordinate the deep core and pelvic floor. Rather than focusing on a single muscle, the practice brings these elements together as one integrated system.

BREATH
Expand your rib cage
A controlled breathing pattern expands the ribcage and develops greater awareness and control of the diaphragm and the way you breathe, creating the foundation for the practice that follows.

VACUUM
Engage from within
During a breath hold, the abdominal vacuum creates the characteristic inward and upward movement of the abdominal wall, engaging the deep abdominal muscles and pelvic floor in a very specific way.

POSTURE
Find your alignment
Precise positions and alignment are an essential part of the practice, creating the foundation for breath and vacuum to work together while developing greater postural awareness and control.
WHEN IT ALL COMES TOGETHER
Hypopressives are used in connection with functional concerns such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse and diastasis recti. Beyond that, the practice can create a unique sense of connection to your body, building an awareness and control that feels both empowering and deeply rewarding. It’s a way to feel more at home in your body again.
MEET YOUR COACH
Kathrin Homann, Exercise Scientist and Hypopressives Coach
Hi, I’m Kathrin. My background is in Exercise Science and bodybuilding, two worlds that have shaped the way I look at the body today. I’ve always been interested in what makes a body strong, capable and aesthetically balanced. Discovering Hypopressives added another dimension to that interest and eventually became the foundation for MIDTHRIVE. What keeps me fascinated is how much there still is to discover about our bodies as we move through midlife. We take care of ourselves and have goals for how we want to feel and look. Midlife doesn’t change that. It simply invites us to approach things differently. And that’s where our work together begins: where you are, what you want from your body and curiosity about what’s possible.
