Why Yoga for the Pelvic Floor
How Can Yoga Help?
Yoga is one of the most effective ways to reconnect with your pelvic floor, whether you're dealing with leaking, low back pain, a core that feels disconnected, or you're just looking for movement that supports your body from the inside out.
Your pelvic floor and core work together. When breath, alignment and movement are in sync, that system works the way it's meant to.
In Core + Pelvic Floor Yoga, we use movement, alignment and breath to explore how to strengthen, release, and reconnect, no matter what brought you here: pregnancy, menopause, a busy life, or just wanting to feel more at home in your body.
Come check us out, and see how good you can feel!
Classes run in 8 week sessions (with drop in available), out of the Mahogany Beach Club.
Frequently asked questions
Can't I just go to any yoga class and get the same results?
Not quite. Classes with a pelvic-floor trained teacher cue things differently, for example, how the ribs and breath connect to the core, rather than just cueing a "core squeeze." If you're not sure a class is pelvic-floor safe, ask the teacher about their training.
I do my kegels but nothing's improving. Is my pelvic floor too loose?
Not necessarily, and often the opposite. A lot of leaking is actually caused by too much tension, not too little. We'll cover both kegels and reverse kegels in class.
Will one class fix my pelvic floor issues forever?
No single class will, the pelvic floor is a muscle group and needs regular attention like any other. But you'll leave with real tools, and you're welcome to keep coming back for as long as it's useful to you.
I am a yoga new to yoga - does it matter?
Not at all. This is a beginner-friendly class and every pose can be modified for your body and experience level.
Will I have to talk about my pelvic floor issues with you, or in the class?
No. There are no group discussions, and anything you share with me is entirely up to you. I'm happy to chat privately if you ever have questions.
What is the difference in Drop In versus signing up for the whole series?
Series registration includes access to online pelvic floor yoga videos you can do at home. Drop-in classes cover the same movements, just live only.
When do I see a pelvic floor physiotherapist, and where can I find one?
Any time, even early pregnancy is a good time to start. Only a physio can properly assess your pelvic floor. Yoga complements that work well, it helps you put a care plan into practice through movement.
What yoga qualifications do you have?
200-hour Yoga Teacher Training, Pre & Postnatal YTT, Yoga for Pelvic Health, and Trauma-Informed YTT, with over 1,000 teaching hours since 2017. I'm also a founding member of Pelvic Health Professionals, so the information I share stays current.
Are there hands-on adjustments in the Yoga class? What can I expect?
No, I don’t offer hands-on adjustments - I cue you to find a pose, a breath or a movement indoor own body and notice how it feels for you, occasionally offering a slightly different cue if needed.
Each of us has a different body and no single pose will fit us all - this is the work of yoga, to learn about our selves and connect deeply from the mind to the body.
You will see the benefit of this in other areas of your life too!
The classes are 75 minutes long and I ask that you bring a thick blanket or bath towel, a yoga mat, some water and even a pillow or cushion as a prop which will help to find ease in the poses.
Research continues to prove that yoga is the # 1 movement modality to help reconnect to the pelvic floor muscles and improve symptoms of dysfunction.
First, the anatomy:
The pelvic floor muscles are inside the bony pelvis and have some very important functions such as elimination (pee/poo), and orgasm (yes THOSE muscles) but importantly, in bodies born with a cervix, these muscles hold up the abdominal organs.
So they are very important!
The core muscles (around the ribs, along the spine and deep in our abdomen) also work with the pelvic floor to create a core canister that works best when the body is in alignment, and we are synchronizing breath with movement for both strength and softness.
We learn all about this and more through the Core + Pelvic Floor Yoga class!
Yoga and breath-work are very effective in helping the muscles soften, lengthen and also strengthen.
In our Core + Pelvic Floor class we'll use movement to explore the role of Kegels, learn about reverse Kegels and how to relax the pelvic muscles, how to effectively strengthen the core and learn about adjustments you can implement in your daily life to reduce pelvic floor dysfunction. And the emphasis and exploration of mind-body connection we create through Yoga is a key piece of a functioning pelvic floor too.
