Yoga for the pelvic floor
The pelvic floor is the foundation of our body. It is the base muscle group of our core. It holds our organs ( the uterus or prostate, the bladder, and our rectum) and their contents within our pelvis. And releases our bodies waste or toxins. Pain discomfort or incompetence in any of these areas (or the areas that provide support for these muscles) is our bodies way of communicating a need for balance in the pelvic floor.
Life happens! We age, we experience injury and trauma, our hormone levels shift, we develop habits and our bodies compensate. This compensation response creates a give and take. Muscles over develop and shorten pulling out skeletal structure out of alignment and parts of our body become “bossy “ or take over for the hyper mobile or lax parts of our bodies. We find ourselves with “bad” posture, weak core, tight backs and necks, sore hips, shortness of breath, blood pressure issues. Sound familiar?

From neutral you can begin to retrain your bodies idea of comfortable so it flows into every movement you make day and night.
