Yoga for the Pelvic Floor

The muscles of the pelvic floor form a gentle support for reproductive and excretory organs, and provide an inner network connecting the legs and the spine.  Pelvic floor muscles can be overly loose or even too tight. The stress of childbirth, changes that occur with menopause, and health or sexual history effect these important, yet little known muscles and their ligaments.

Participants will learn the anatomy and to access and relax these deep muscles through mindful breathwork followed by yoga poses that realign and tone the pelvic floor. This course aims to relieve symptoms associated with pelvic floor imbalances such as back, hip, sacroiliac issues, painful intercourse, incontinence or digestive complaints. A toned and balanced pelvic floor nurtures hormonal wellness, allows for healthy function of reproductive and excretory organs, and provides important postural support.

Includes detailed anatomy, handouts and at home practices.  Participants are enrolled in full series. 

Pre-requisites:  Previous experience in Iyengar Yoga, recommended to have attended at lease one session of our Beginner's series or 4-6 weeks Level 1 classes.
