Pelvic Floor Workshop (recording)


  • Sanctuary Yoga 1919 Stearns Avenue Kalamazoo, MI, 49008 United States (map)

Did you know that a chronically tight pelvic floor can cause the same problems as a weak pelvic floor?

Uri­nary leak­age with phys­i­cal exer­tion, cough­ing, sneez­ing or laughing

  • Increased fre­quen­cy and/ or urgency to urinate

  • Decreased sexual function or pain during intercourse

And Kegels - a common exercise for strengthening the pelvic floor - can actually make the chronic tension worse! Like any muscle in your body, you want your pelvic floor muscles to be strong AND flexible so that can contract AND release with ease.

In this 2-hour workshop you’ll learn about the anatomy of the pelvic floor, how to engage and relax these important muscles and how to use them effectively during yoga and everyday life.

And remember: a healthy pelvic floor is equally important for men and women!

Cost: $35
