You can learn to exercise safely
I've been in your shoes. In 2011, I developed pelvic organ prolapse, which came with constant pressure, bladder issues and pain. Fortunately, I have learned how to modify poses in yoga to stretch and strengthen my pelvic floor. These days, feeling symptoms is VERY rare. Yoga is not a treatment plan, but you'll be amazed by how much it can help your pelvic floor, your full body, and your mood.
How can yoga change your life?
Pelvic floor yoga is a restorative practice that teaches you how to breathe in a way that you fully expand the pelvic floor. We teach you how to position your pelvis, spine, and hips with straightforward adjustments to beginner-friendly yoga poses. Don't worry, we never do headstands or crazy movements!
​
Every modification in yoga works to stretch or strengthen "down there," and we deliberately incorporate movements that you can incorporate into your every day life. Dishes, laundry, gardening, picking things up off of the floor, holding a toddler... all of these activities can be easier on your pelvic health if you use simple pelvic floor yoga techniques.
