Movement teachers often mention the pelvic floor but do our students and clients really understand it?
The words suggest a muscular floor, but that is a great simplification.
I would describe it more like the spokes of a wheel, multilayered and made up of a collection of different muscles and fascia. Because of its complex structure, this adaptable area can stretch and contract as we move in multiple ways. It also behaves more like a trampoline than a floor.
Some of us didn't know much about it until we went through pregnancy and childbirth. Or it made itself known through pelvic issues like pain, organ prolapse, leaking or even back pain.
Yet, our pelvic floor is one of the four components of our inner core, playing a key role in pressure regulation.
As a yoga teacher, I have been fascinated for many years by the physical and energetic anatomy of this area and the crossover between Eastern and Western explanations of what it does.
So I am very excited to be hosting a workshop on this important and often underplayed topic. Join me as we spend a few hours gaining a deeper understanding of the pelvic floor through:
🦋 Visualising its physical anatomy
🦋Navigating and sensing the area
🦋Exploring how it changes as we move and practise various yoga poses.
🦋Learn how to stretch, strengthen and integrate this area with the whole body.
🦋Understand your own unique anatomy and how it affects your body.
Join me for a morning of movement, breathing and yoga that all form part of this experiential anatomy workshop.
