Your Foundational Core: Yoga for
Pelvic Floor Health

Most people know the importance of core strengthening for health and long-term well-being.

Unfortunately, an important part of the core muscle system, the pelvic floor, often gets overlooked in our core strengthening efforts.

This comes at a cost, as this part of the body is particularly vulnerable to developing dysfunction over time. Common pelvic floor issues include prolapsed organs, incontinence, and pelvic pain, which get increasingly common with age.

In this online course, Physical Therapist Jessica Reale and yoga therapist Patricia Schmidt will show you how we can use yoga to help maintain and support a healthy pelvic floor.

Symptoms of pelvic floor issues are surprisingly far-reaching and can include back pain, pelvic pain, constipation, pain during or after intercourse, slow flow and/or discomfort with urination, urinary urgency, and incontinence

Learn how to use targeted yoga asana and breathing practices to increase flexibility, strength, and awareness on the pelvic floor. The earlier we start, the better.

Working with the pelvic floor offers immediate and also life-long benefits: It can aid in the preparation for and recovery from pregnancy and childbirth; offer a defense against prolapse of pelvic or abdominal organs, and slow or prevent common conditions of the pelvic floor associated with aging, stress, and disuse (including incontinence).
