Introduction to Pelvic Floor & Core: 8 Week Series for Back, Hip, & Pelvic Health

There seems to be a lot of misconceptions about the pelvic floor.

What is the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that play a vital role in stabilizing your hips and back, supporting your organs as well as assisting bowel, bladder, and sexual function. The pelvic floor is an important part of the core as it helps neighboring hip, back, and deep abdominal muscles control movement of the sacroiliac (SI) joints and hip joints. When the pelvic floor and core is imbalanced, you could experience symptoms such as pain, pressure, or tightness in the pelvic region, groin, hips, or back, discomfort with intercourse, or bowel and/or bladder issues (constipation or leakage).
The aging process, menopause, childbirth, lifestyle habits, and certain medical conditions can all affect the health of the pelvic floor.
This small group workshop style series is designed to help women deepen their understanding of basic anatomy and function of the pelvic floor muscles and their relationship to the breath, hips, spine, and posture. We’ll explore breathing practices, restorative yoga, and gentle movement designed to restore your core for optimal function so you can move with greater ease and continue to do the activities you enjoy as you age.  The small group format allows you an opportunity to ask questions and learn personalized modifications specific to your body. Each class will include mindful movement and discussion.

We’ll discuss:

  • common misconceptions about how to strengthen the pelvic floor/core
  • common breathing, posture, and movement patterns that contribute to a weak core, chronic tension, and stress
  • how the pelvic floor is involved in day to day functional tasks and activities
  • symptoms of pelvic floor weakness, tightness, and imbalances
  • causes and risks of pelvic floor issues
  • lifestyle and posture habits that inhibit optimal core function
  • the mechanics of breathing and the relationship between the breath and pelvic floor/core

You will:

  • learn how to properly engage, release, and lengthen the pelvic floor/core muscles
  • improve core connection, posture awareness, balance, and function in day to day life
