What does it mean to have a "functional" pelvic floor?
Today we know that Kegels are not the best way to support a healthy pelvic floor in pregnancy. The real key to a healthy pelvic floor is a functional system that can both relax and maintain tone when needed.
It's time to leave boring Kegels in the past and learn simple and fun practices that can help you achieve the dynamic response of relax and tone to improve the holistic function of your pelvic floor.
~Improving function in your pelvic floor before birth may help:
~Reduce postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction
~Reduce the risk of tearing in birth
~Shorten the duration of labor
~Improve your confidence in your connection with your body
How can Prenatal Yoga help?
Through Yoga we can connect to our physical body through movement and the breath. We get curious about how the body works and how our own body can move to support pelvic floor function.
In Prenatal Yoga, we focus on how to support an ever changing body and give way to offer comfort for some of the typical discomforts a pregnant body may experience. We use the breath to engage our nervous system and learn ways to breathe for different outcomes.
Together in this workshop, we will discuss the pelvic floor, offer ways to assess your pelvic alignment and learn how to properly breathe during pregnancy.
