The single most important exercise for your health

I sat down with the legendary Prima ballerina @hea I sat down with the legendary Prima ballerina @heatherogden who is still performing at the top of her game at age 44 after 2 kids and back surgery. 

This is a @wegotherepodcast episode you don't want to miss✨🔥

From coping with pressure (she performed the lead in Swan Lake at 5 months postpartum) to aging, perimenopause and body image - we dove into it all. 

Heather has always been a huge inspiration to me (we are the same age!) and I know her story will inspire people far and wide. 

Listen to on Apple & Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts. 

Thank you Heather for all your grace - on the stage and in life! 

Love, 
Nikki

Strengthening the pelvic floor together WITH the h Strengthening the pelvic floor together WITH the hip muscles has been shown to improve stress incontinence (when you lose bladder control coughing, sneezing, running, jumping, etc.)

The glute and lumbo-pelvic muscles are a huge focus in workouts inside the Prenatal Push Prep and Core Restore courses. 

Comment RESTORE for a free 30-min postnatal workshop. However and whenever you gave birth, this free workshop will help you. 

Yes, you can improve leaking and prolapse, even during pregnancy and even years after birth ✨

Comment RESTORE for 5 days of free core & pelvic f Comment RESTORE for 5 days of free core & pelvic floor rehab focused "movement snacks". These are quick mini workouts to help you kickstart your rehab - whether you're recently postpartum or have been dealing with diastasis recti or prolapse for years. 

This gives you a taste of the Core Restore course - and hopefully will help you feel empowered to move and prioritize your own healing. Even 5 minutes counts! ❤️

Here for you,

Strength meets precision. Living Room Lift is comi Strength meets precision. Living Room Lift is coming soon — where Pilates control meets dumbbell power for next-level results. Think locked-in form, pelvic floor–informed lifting, and total body transformation...all from your living room. 💪✨

Drop “LRL” below and I’ll send you a FREE workout from the program before it launches! Let’s build some lean muscle and lift smarter, stronger, and with purpose. 

It's not "Weights vs Pilates" as many may have you believe. That's a ridiculous argument. It's BOTH my friends🔥💅

I'm right there with you! 

Love, 
Nikki

Two weeks after her total hysterectomy with bilate Two weeks after her total hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (her uterus, ovaries, and tubes were removed due to endometrial cancer) — my best friend Carol generously offered to share her real recovery journey with all of you 💕

These gentle movements are helping her reconnect with her body, ease tension, and begin rebuilding strength and confidence. 

Healing after abdominal surgery takes patience, courage, and so much self-compassion. Whether you’ve had a hysterectomy or a C-section, these movements can support circulation, posture, and gentle core reconnection in those early weeks of recovery.

Remember: every body and every healing timeline is unique. Always check with your healthcare provider before starting any new movement post-surgery.

➡️ Swipe through to see how we approached these first steps in healing.

Push Prep Nov/Dec classes start tonight at 8 pm Eastern online! Get recordings if you can't attend live. 

This is information you won't learn in your hospital birthing class - in fact doctors and nurses don't learn this in their training. I shared 2 testimonials for the Push Prep course today in stories - one from an anesthesiologist and one from an ER nurse. Both had traumatic first births, and both wanted to prepare differently the second time. Needless to say, they got the births they wanted after doing Push Prep. 

The Push Prep Course will be the best investment in pregnancy you make, and will have a lasting impact on your postpartum recovery. 

Comment PUSHPREP for a free prenatal workshop and a taste of the program.
