Are you among the millions of Americans who experience urinary incontinence? This common yet rarely discussed condition affects approximately 25% of the US population, impacting not just physical health but also quality of life, emotional wellbeing, and social engagement. Many people find themselves planning their lives around bathroom access, limiting their activities, and experiencing unnecessary anxiety and stress.

But there’s hope – and it comes from an unexpected source: yoga. In this groundbreaking livestream course, renowned yoga therapist and pelvic floor expert Leslie Howard shares evidence-based yoga practices that have been clinically proven to significantly improve urinary incontinence symptoms.

The Power of Yoga for Pelvic Floor Health

The pelvic floor is a crucial yet often overlooked component of our core system. These muscles work in concert with other core muscles to provide stability, support internal organs, and maintain continence. While Kegel exercises are commonly prescribed for pelvic floor issues, yoga offers a more comprehensive, holistic approach to pelvic floor health.

What makes this course unique is its foundation in clinical research. Leslie Howard designed the yoga protocol used in a groundbreaking study at the University of California, San Francisco, which demonstrated remarkable results: participants experienced a 70% reduction in urinary leakage frequency compared to their baseline measurements. This scientific validation underscores the effectiveness of yoga as a powerful tool for addressing incontinence and promoting pelvic floor health.
