ABOUT PELVIC FLOOR YOGA
Womens pelvic floor health is often overlooked in this country. We have been told to just accept it because, "it's part of being a woman" and that needs to change! Pelvic Floor Yoga Therapy was created by Leslie Howard, a yoga instructor who had developed pelvic floor issues and wanted to find a way to heal herself. It is a combination of core, glute, upper leg exercises and yoga poses that are specifically designed to help improve your pelvic floor health.
In private one on one sessions, you will learn...
- How to assess your own pelvic floor for tight or loose areas by learning how to contract 6 different parts of your pelvic floor (Note: there is no internal work done in these sessions)
- Learn exercises to find if your glutes and deep core muscles are weak, and do more exercises on the weak side to balance the body
- Learn exercises to find if your upper leg muscles are too tight, and do more exercises the tight sides to balance the body
- Learn yoga poses to address the specific areas of your pelvic floor that are tight or weak.
Pelvic Floor Yoga is beneficial for...
- Urinary incontinence
- Urinary urgency (stress incontinence)
- Pelvic/vaginal pain
- Difficulty with bowel movements
- Low back and hip pain
- Mild pelvic organ prolapse
- Regaining muscle strength after having a baby
What clients are saying about Pelvic Floor Yoga...
- I had a decrease in urinary incontinence after the first session
- I had better bowel movements after Pelvic Floor Yoga sessions
- I couldn't believe the difference I saw in my body, after just one session. I could do Pilates exercises that I have never been able to do before, in 20 years of practicing Pilates.
- These classes have helped me more than acupuncture or massage!
