This workshop is great for women who have had children (yes, even ones who are grown!) and women who want to learn more about how to optimize their pelvic health.

Concepts covered will include: 

• Basic pelvic floor anatomy

• Why Kegels are only 1% of pelvic health (and not all of us should be doing them)

• Common signs of pelvic floor dysfunction and how to treat them without surgery or medication 

• Pelvic positioning during functional activities like squatting & standing yoga postures

• The energetic/emotional meaning of our pelvic floor 

• An exploration into how breath work is key to pelvic floor function

• A series of core challenging sequences to activate the entire core system (aka the bandhas as we call them in yoga)

Course Fee: $40

**This workshop will be a hybrid mix between seated discussion and experiential movement practices so please come prepared to move. Bring a yoga mat, water, and a journal for note-taking.
