Beyond the Basics: 4-week Pelvic Floor Series
Join Marissa Steiner on each Saturday in February from 11am - 12:30pm:
February 1st
February 8th
February 15th
February 22nd
This series is designed to cover basic anatomy, physical alignment, and breathwork used to more intentionally integrate core and pelvic floor muscles. These sessions are intended to deepen understanding of breathwork and muscle integration to support you on your journey to discovering the deep core and pelvic floor muscles that are so often ignored in regular workouts.
The benefits of building core strength and integrated pelvic floor are limitless, but lets name a few 👍🏻:
• reduce low back pain
• gain control over leakage
• improved balance and posture
• learn skills to address rib flare and paradoxical breathing
• improve prolapse, hemorrhoids, diastesis recti, and abdominal pressure
• we will also discuss when to seek medical attention as well as local resources to support this journey.

WHAT TO EXPECT:
✨ Week 1: basic breathwork and anatomy
✨ Weeks 2 -4: continue to review and integrate the skills to bring students beyond the basics which will help support their ability to utilize these skills in their own, personal, workouts whether it's on the mat or beyond.
Who would benefit from this workshop? The short answer, EVERYONE but this particular workshop is designed with female anatomy in mind. The longer answer: yogis, runners, cross fitters, moms and woman of all ages who struggle with leakage, as well as anyone who is interested in amplifying their workouts by more intentionally integrating their core.
All classes are designed for all ages, with no yoga experience necessary, and can be used as a compliment to pelvic floor physical therapy.
Please come on an empty stomach.
Investment: $60 for series or $20 drop-in.

Meet the instructor:
Marissa Steiner 200RYT
Marissa is an enthusiastic yogi and avid practitioner of pelvic floor integrated workouts. She has been teaching yoga since 2020, beginning with teaching primarily vinyasa flow and intuitive movement classes, and teaches each class with a trauma-informed approach.
In 2019 Marissa was diagnosed with a connective tissue disorder (hEDS) and has been working with providers for symptom management since. As a result she was referred to pelvic floor physical therapy where she worked with her doctor to integrate the skills learned in appointments onto the mat. Since that time she has worked with several other local specialists, online programs, and engaged in personal research to develop strategies that can allow these skills to be accessible for everyone. She is passionate about supporting students in their ability to find skills that work best for them.
