Online - Pelvic Floor Workshop with Leslie Howard
Saturday August 28th - from 1pm- 4:30pm 

Picture
One-Day Workshop

​In this workshop we will locate, stretch, strengthen and exercise the muscle groups of the pelvic floor, discuss mula bandha, abdominal health and how to utilize the pelvic floor in asana. The workshop will begin with anatomy, lecture and discussion, followed by subtle experiential movements to awaken your understanding of this often ignored area. A series of specific exercises and asanas for the pelvic floor will follow. 
Handouts will be provided via email. Bring your friends, sisters, mothers and daughters. Although helpful, no yoga experience is required. This workshop qualifies for continuing education credits with Yoga Alliance.
​

Proper strengthening and stabilizing of the pelvic floor helps to create the correct foundation of each movement in the body. This is the true meaning of "core work." Whether you experience any of these conditions (or are just plain curious about this region of the body) this workshop is for you:
  • pelvic pain
  • leak when laughing or sneezing
  • lower back, hip or groin problems
  • have to go the bathroom too often
  • discomfort during sex or while using tampons
  • prolapsed organs
  • skin irritation
  • pregnancy and birth
