In this 2-hour workshop, you will learn the basics of pelvic floor health and how to optimize your core/pelvic floor during movement. Concepts covered will include:
basic pelvic floor anatomy
why kegels are only 1% of pelvic health (and not all of us should be doing them)
common signs of pelvic floor dysfunction and how to treat them without surgery or medication
pelvic positioning during functional activities like squatting & standing yoga postures
the energetic/emotional meaning of our pelvic floor
an exploration into how breath work is key to pelvic floor function
a series of core challenging sequences to activate the entire core system (aka the bandhas as we call them in yoga)
This workshop is great for women who have had children (yes, even ones who are grown!) and women who want to learn more about how to optimize their pelvic health.
