Pelvic Floor Essentials

Understanding how to activate, relax, and control your pelvic floor is not always an easy task. This class is appropriate for ANYONE who feels disconnected from their core or pelvic floor-including people with pelvic pain, recovering from giving birth, having urinary or bowel symptoms, feeling weak in the core, athletes with pelvic symptoms, and people recovering from surgery in the abdomen or pelvis. We start with hip stretching to get the pelvis in good alignment and optimal position to use the pelvic floor. We use diaphragmatic breathing, imagery, and cues to contract and relax the pelvic floor, we throw in some strength for the pelvic floor and core at the end. Leave this class with a better understanding of what a pelvic floor contraction feels like, how to use breath and stretching to activate the pelvic floor, and more connected to your core and pelvic floor.
