Most of us hold too much tension in our bodies. The state of tension in our pelvic floor, the muscles around our genitals, influences the functioning of our bladder and intestines. Even if you tend to hold tension in other parts of your body, those larger muscles will inevitably pass their tension on to the much smaller muscles of the pelvic floor. This can cause or contribute to pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, constipation, IBS, or urinary or anal leaking. Stress management is terribly important in regulating pelvic floor symptoms. There are other things, too, that we can do at home to promote a healthy pelvic floor.
In this workshop, we’ll demonstrate myo-fascial release of the pelvic floor; exercises for coordinating neuromuscular activity of the small muscles of the pelvic floor with the larger muscles of the thighs and hips; and a pose for relaxing the pelvic floor. We’ll also explore balance and proprioception exercises as a means of improving the pelvic floor. All are welcome!
