Proper strengthening and stabilizing of the pelvic floor helps to create the correct foundation of each movement in the body. This is the true meaning of "core work." Whether you experience any of these conditions, or are just plain curious about this region of the body, this workshop is for you:
- pelvic painÂ
- lower back
- hip or groin problemsÂ
- discomfort during sex or while using tamponsÂ
- skin irritationÂ
- leak when laughing or sneezingÂ
- have to go the bathroom too oftenÂ
- prolapsed organs
- pre & post pregnancy
Â
The workshop will begin with anatomy lecture, followed by subtle experiential movements to awaken your understanding of this often ignored area. Then there will be yoga practices for hypertonic and hypotonic pelvic floors. A series of specific exercises and asanas for the pelvic floor will follow. Handouts will be provided. Bring your friends, sisters, mothers and daughters.
Although helpful, no yoga experience is required. This workshop qualifies for continuing ed credits with Yoga Alliance.

- Current understanding of the pelvis, sexuality, misconceptions and modern medical care
- In depth anatomy of the pelvis, hip flexors and rotators and connective musculature and how they translate into pelvic health
- How posture affects the pelvic floor
- Identifying hypertonic vs. hypotonic muscles and the difference between a strong muscle and a tense muscle and a loose muscle
- The role of emotion on the breath and how this impacts the pelvic floor
- How to teach breath and asana to women who need tone in their pelvis and as well as those who have too much tone
- How to hold a safe environment for women
- What to do with the pelvic floor during all stages of pre and post natal
- Restorative yoga for the pelvic floor
The training includes an e-book version of Leslie’s, Pelvic Liberation which is the required reading. The training can be used for continuing education for Yoga Alliance and NCBTMB. Each day we will have a short break.
