Learn how to activate as well as relax and release the floor of your core through postural alignment, functional movement and yoga practice. Start the journey to better bowel and bladder function, alleviate low back and pelvic pain and find your core power. The class will be led by a pelvic health physical therapist and yoga teacher with a passion for helping people of all ages and gender identities lead happier, healthier lives through better pelvic and abdominal wellness. The class will guide you through simple breathing techniques and muscle exercises to bring awareness to your pelvic floor function and intraabdominal pressure management. There will be an introduction to pelvic girdle and pelvic floor anatomy including nervous system connections. We will then review functions of healthy pelvic floor muscles vs common dysfunctions and related symptoms. The instructor will guide the class through pelvic floor relaxation strategies for the short/tight or overactive pelvic floor to improve stress and anxiety management strategies as well as alleviate pelvic pain and improve bowel movements, bladder emptying and sexual health. We will then do a beginner Vinyasa yoga practice together followed by a Yin yoga practice and Yoga Nidra with pelvic floor cuing. Time will be made for interspersed Q&A and the instructor will be available at the end of class for questions and discussion.
