From the Pelvic Floor to the Stage Floor

Discover how pelvic health and embodied communication can unlock greater confidence, presence, and power every time you step on stage.
About this Event

The Pelvic Floor and Public Speaking? How are these two seemingly unrelated things connected?!

Actually, the pelvic floor is the unspoken key in unlocking public speaking success. Your pelvic floor supports your core, your posture, and your breathing, which are key components to public speaking and your confidence on stage.
During this workshop, you'll learn what the pelvic floor is, where it's located, and its important role it plays in how we present on stage. We'll explore common signs of pelvic floor dysfunction, discuss factors that can impact pelvic floor health, and share practical strategies to keep these muscles functioning their best.

After the pelvic floor discussion, attendees will be invited to participate in quick-thinking improv games and public exercises to practice and embody what they have learned.

This class is for everyone—not just those who are professional storytellers and speakers. Pelvic floor health affects people of all genders and life stages, and understanding how to care for this essential muscle group can help prevent issues and improve quality of life.

Topics include:

• What the pelvic floor is and how it functions
• Myth busting common concerns and symptoms
• The pelvic floor's role in breathing, pressure management, and vocal projection
• How the pelvic floor works with your core and posture
• Everyday habits that support pelvic floor wellness
• Short and long-term fixes to your pelvic health to prepare for your next event
• Pre-speech breathing and stretching routine to calm the nerves
• Exercises to practice impromptu speaking (or "speaking off-the-cuff")
• Awareness of how to stand and stay relaxed while speaking in front of an audience
  

Leave with a better understanding of your body, practical tools you can use right away, and confidence in supporting your long-term pelvic health and speaking career.

Whether you're a professional speaker, storyteller, student, educator, entrepreneur, or occasional public speaker or simply interested in improving your overall health, this class will help you build up your stage presence and better understand an often-overlooked part of the body.
See you there!
