Youtube vs Courses vs 1-1

YouTube/Free Resources

YouTube is a treasure trove of knowledge, offering a plethora of learning resources for those seeking to explore new techniques and practices.

From cooking to DIY projects, it’s the go-to platform to see how things are done and even follow along with instructional videos.

Hypopressives, a technique that combines three fundamental aspects – Lateral Breath, Alignment, and Apnea/Breath Hold, is no exception to this trend.

Let’s dive into the world of Hypopressives and explore whether YouTube alone is sufficient for mastering this unique practice.

Understanding Hypopressives: A Quick Overview

Before we delve into the role of YouTube in learning Hypopressives, let’s grasp the basics of this intriguing technique.

Hypopressives is all about harmonizing your breath, body alignment, and controlled breath holds to achieve various health benefits.

If you’re new to Hypopressives or curious about its potential advantages, here is a quick demo and explanation of Hypopressives.

YouTube is a great place to get a feel of the technique and understand if this might be useful for you.

Hypopressives entail several moving parts, including the alignment of your hands and feet, body positioning, balance, muscle activation, and precise breathing patterns.

These elements must seamlessly come together for the technique to be effective. Learning the basics of alignment and lateral breath (rib cage expansion) can indeed be done on YouTube. However, doing the apnea/breath-hold without supervision initially is not advised.

Even if you’re an experienced yogi or Pilates instructor with a heightened body awareness, mastering Hypopressives requires meticulous attention to detail in the beginning.

Any misstep could yield sub-optimal results or, worse, exacerbate existing issues.

Performing Hypopressives incorrectly can have serious consequences.

This is why attempting the apnea (breath hold) component without proper guidance is strongly discouraged, especially if you’re a beginner. Achieving the right balance between all the elements can be challenging, making professional supervision crucial

And when was the last time you checked the qualifications of someone instructing a technique on youtube? Of course most of us don’t have the inclination or time to do such research when a video on YouTube is so readily available.

Consider this: every week, we receive emails from 3-5 women who have encountered issues while attempting Hypopressives on their own.

These experiences highlight the potential risks of relying solely on YouTube for instruction.

If you are serious about mastering the technique and reaping its benefits safely, it’s strongly recommended that you seek guidance from certified Hypopressives instructors or healthcare professionals who can provide personalized training and supervision.

In conclusion, YouTube is an excellent starting point to acquaint yourself with Hypopressives and its components.

However, due to the intricacies and potential pitfalls associated with this technique, particularly the breath-holding aspect, it’s wise to complement your learning with professional guidance.

Paid Hypopressives: On-Demand Course

An on-demand course with a qualified instructor does indeed sound better. After all, he/she has curated the content for you, laid it out in an order that is thought-through and easy to follow.

However, having just an on-demand course still falls into the same issue as free Youtube videos.

Without someone supervising your technique, you still might get the technique wrong, however pedagogical and well-filmed the videos are.

An informal study we did within MoonRise saw over 60% of women getting their technique wrong initially.

A large majority of them needed moderate to large corrections while only a small minority needed minor corrections.

To reiterate, we’re talking about subtleties—microscopic changes that often elude detection when you’re the subject of your own practice.

Only the discerning eye of a carefully trained external observer can pinpoint these nuances, which play a pivotal role in achieving desired results.

Moving forward, let’s address a significant hurdle encountered in self-paced courses: motivation.

Startling statistics reveal that a staggering 87% of all self-paced online courses go unfinished.

This means that not only have you invested your hard-earned money, but there’s also a high likelihood that you might never see the course through to completion.

Paid Hypopressives: Group Live Classes

Live classes hold a special place in our hearts. They boast a higher compliance rate compared to on-demand courses because they require you to be present at a specific time. The sense of commitment and motivation that comes with scheduled live classes can be a game-changer.

However, it’s worth noting that in group live classes, the instructor often faces a challenge – they may not have the opportunity to provide individual attention to all participants.

Nevertheless, participating in such classes is undoubtedly a significant step forward in your learning journey.

Live Classes cost between 15-30$ depending on your area and teacher.

At MoonRise, we have weekly live classes you can join. However, these classes are currently provided only for those whose technique has been approved by our teachers already so we can practice safely online.

Paid Hypopressives: 1-1 Zoom

When it comes to ensuring the utmost safety and personalized guidance, 1-1 live sessions reign supreme. Picture this: a qualified instructor dedicated to your progress, available either through Zoom or in person.

Yet, like all good things, this option comes with its own set of challenges:

Scarcity of Instructors: The pool of Hypopressives instructors may be quite limited in your vicinity. Finding one nearby can be akin to locating a hidden gem.

Cost Factor: It’s important to be mindful of the financial aspect. Engaging in 1-1 live sessions can require an investment ranging from $300 to $500 for a package of a few sessions. While the value is undeniable, affordability may be a consideration.

However, if you possess the economic resources and happen to reside in proximity to a qualified instructor, this becomes a compelling choice to embark on your Hypopressives journey.

The personalized attention and expert guidance offered in 1-1 sessions can set you on a path to success like no other.
