If you think pelvic floor strengthening is all about doing Kegels, think again. In this eye-opening interview with author and yoga therapist Leslie Howard, you’ll discover why the key to a healthy pelvic floor involves so much more than just squeezing muscles.
Leslie, an expert in using yoga for pelvic floor disorders, explains that the pelvic floor can be both tight and weak at the same time. While many people assume a weak pelvic floor needs more Kegels, often the opposite is true. When the muscles are too tight, they lack the full range of motion needed for optimal function.
So how do you achieve a healthy pelvic floor? Leslie reveals that it’s a whole-body process, starting with the breath. The pelvic floor is intricately connected to the respiratory diaphragm, with the two working in tandem during inhalation and exhalation. Proper breathing techniques are crucial for pelvic floor health.
But it doesn’t stop there. The pelvic floor is a central hub in the body, connecting the lower and upper body. Issues in the feet, legs, or core can all impact pelvic floor function. That’s why Leslie’s approach focuses on building pelvic floor health from the ground up, starting with the feet and working through the entire body.
Leslie offers several examples of this work as a preview of her upcoming 8-session course on Yoga for Pelvic Floor Health. In this practice series, you will learn how all parts of the body are connected to the pelvic floor through the deep core line and Leslie will guide you through how to build pelvic floor health from the ground up.
You’ll learn practical yoga techniques to improve pelvic floor function, whether you’re dealing with incontinence, prolapse, pelvic pain, or simply want to maintain optimal health.
