Every women’s pelvic is unique and rarely is completely in balance. A part of the pelvis can be tight and short, another side can be too loose. After giving birth we usually think about only strengthening and engaging again, but a huge part is also giving relaxation and length to the more tighter parts, and bringing balance by discovering which muscles need more strength. In this way the pelvis comes back to balance and all parts work synergistically with each other, engaging when they have to and relaxing when they can. Sometimes after giving birth the pelvic floor holds on to a traumatic experience, this can also create tightness. 

 

These classes will help you to breathe more fully and deeply, improve your posture, understand your pelvis and sooth pelvic pain, lower back pain, bladder problems and all kinds of pelvic related problems, while giving synergy to your pelvic floor muscles and other muscles that support the pelvic floor. You will be guided with awareness exercises to self explore your pelvis by discovering the places where you hold tension and where you can feel a release happening. Within this relaxing state, you can learn your muscles how to engage when they have to and give more strength and support where your pelvis needs it.
