Your pelvic floor is not separate from your nervous system.

It responds to breath.
To stress.
To protection.
To safety.

For many people, pelvic tension is not simply a strength or flexibility issue. It can reflect the body adapting to prolonged stress, overwhelm, holding patterns, or a nervous system that has learned to stay guarded.

This workshop explores pelvic health through a trauma-informed lens, connecting the nervous system, breath, posture, movement, and body awareness in a way that feels supportive rather than forceful.

Through guided education, breathwork, and gentle movement, participants will learn how regulation and awareness can influence pelvic floor function, coordination, and the body’s ability to shift out of protective patterns.

This is not about “fixing” your body.
It’s about learning how to work with it.

Becoming a mom changes everything and not just your routine, sleep, or priorities. 🤍

Your body also goes through significant changes during pregnancy and childbirth that are often not talked about enough, especially in the postpartum period.

Pregnancy and childbirth place a lot of stress on the pelvic floor and core muscles, and sometimes those muscles need extra support to heal and function well again. Pelvic physical therapy focuses on helping you rebuild strength, improve stability, reduce discomfort, and feel more confident in your body again, whether you are newly postpartum or years into motherhood.

You deserve to feel supported, strong, and comfortable in your body. If you are wondering whether pelvic PT could help you, we are happy to talk it through with you or guide you toward the next step. 🤍

Your deep core is the foundation of balance, posture, and confident movement. As shown in this carousel, activating your transverse abdominis, pelvic floor, and breath can transform how you approach poses like crow and plank - making them feel stronger, safer, and more controlled.

During perimenopause and menopause, shifts in strength and stability are common, but mindful yoga and intentional core engagement can help rebuild that foundation. Small progressions, from beginner to intermediate, create meaningful improvements in coordination, balance, and confidence.

This workshop brings these concepts to life. You’ll learn how to activate your deep core, support your pelvic floor, and apply these techniques to your yoga practice through guided instruction and breath-focused movement. 💛

Stretches (Hold 30 seconds, repeat 3–5 times per side):

- Quad Stretch - Gently pull your foot toward your glutes to stretch the front of your thigh.
- Lower Trunk Rotation Stretch - Lying on your back with knees bent, rotate your knees to one side while keeping your shoulders down.
