🌸”Your pelvis doesn’t need fixing — it needs understanding.”

Modern wellness tells women to “open their hips” — but what if your body’s been open enough?

From childbirth to stress to hormone shifts, your pelvic floor isn’t weak. It’s wise.
Let’s talk about why too much “opening” might be the reason you’re feeling ungrounded, achy, or leaking a little when you laugh (yep, we’re going there).

🌿 The Myth of the Tight Pelvis

Somewhere along the line, the wellness world decided that tight hips are the enemy. Cue: Goddess pose, Pigeon pose, and every Instagram reel claiming “this stretch will unlock your feminine energy.”

Here’s the catch — for many women, especially after childbirth, the pelvis is already too open.

Pregnancy releases a hormone called relaxin, which literally loosens your ligaments so your pelvis can expand during birth. Beautiful, yes—but that flexibility doesn’t switch off right after delivery.

For up to a year (and longer if you’re breastfeeding), those joints stay more mobile. Add aggressive hip-opening yoga or Pilates sessions, and you’ve got a recipe for instability — not strength.

Or as one physiotherapist once put it:

“You don’t need to stretch a bungee cord that’s already lost its spring.”

🦴 What Science Actually Says

⚖️ From Weakness to Wisdom

What if your pelvic floor isn’t failing you — it’s protecting you?

When your body senses instability, it tenses up as a safety response. That’s not weakness; that’s wisdom.

In Chinese Medicine, it is called ‘Qi leakage’ — when your energy flows downward and out instead of being contained and rooted. After childbirth, your Kidney and Liver Qi (which govern hormones, tendons, and vitality) need to be sealed and nourished, not stretched to exhaustion.

This is why BalanceHER’s Safe Hip Seal Method was created—to teach your body to reconnect, re-seal, and restore.

Instead of forcing flexibility, we invite stability.
Instead of opening, we re-align the hinges.

💫 The BalanceHER Safe Hip Seal Approach

This gentle 1-hour workshop by Amanda Lan blends Yuan Qi Qigong, Chinese Medicine, and modern fascia science.

What you’ll experience:

👣 Root Activation — Barefoot “earth listening” stance that calms your nervous system.

🧍‍♀️ Safe Hip Seals — Postural awareness that supports pelvic recovery.

🤲 Pelvic Floor Wave — Relearning natural elasticity and core flow.

🩶 Grounded Bridge — Functional movement that feels like therapy, not training.

It’s not fitness — it’s Functional Healing, where strength, softness, and science meet.

💬 Let’s Get Real, Ladies…

Talking about leaks, prolapse, or “my hips feel funny” shouldn’t be taboo.
It’s your body — and your body’s not broken.
It’s recalibrating.

So before you sign up for another “30 Days to Open Hips” challenge, ask yourself:

“Do I really need more opening — or do I need more rooting?”
