When you say suck in your stomach is that the same as “pulling in your core” or whatever they say in Pilates?

If only we learned this stuff before our 20s đź‘€
We got taught how to calculate the area of a triangle… but no one mentioned that sucking in your stomach, barely breathing, or holding in your pee could wreck your pelvic floor.
By the time so many women hit their 20s/30s, they’re already dealing with pain, leaking, tension, or just feeling totally disconnected from their bodies, and they have no idea why.
Let me save you some time:
➡️ Slouching isn’t just bad posture - it impacts your breath, your core, and your pelvic floor
➡️ Sucking in your stomach 24/7 isn’t “fit” - it’s pressure your pelvic floor has to absorb
Your breath, your bladder, your core, and your pelvic floor? They're a team. And when one’s off, the rest start working overtime.
But the best part? You can relearn how to move, breathe, and train in a way that actually supports your body and sets you up to feel strong, confident, and pain-free for the long haul.
What's something that you wish you had known earlier?
