Most people know the importance of core strengthening for health and long-term well-being.
Unfortunately, an important part of the core muscle system, the pelvic floor, often gets overlooked in our core strengthening efforts.
This comes at a cost, as this part of the body is particularly vulnerable to developing dysfunction over time. Common pelvic floor issues include prolapsed organs, incontinence, and pelvic pain, which get increasingly common with age.
In this online course, Physical Therapist Jessica Reale and yoga teacher and pelvic health specialist Patricia Schmidt will show you how we can use yoga to help maintain and support a healthy pelvic floor.
Learn how to use targeted yoga asana and breathing practices to increase flexibility, strength, and awareness on the pelvic floor.
Working with the pelvic floor offers immediate and also life-long benefits: It can aid in the preparation for and recovery from pregnancy and childbirth; offer a defence against prolapse of pelvic or abdominal organs, and slow or prevent common conditions of the pelvic floor associated with aging, stress, and disuse (including incontinence).
