Pelvic Floor Strong will be offered again in 2024

 

Pelvic Floor Strong class, spring 2023.

Can You Hold It?” Maybe, maybe not.  When you cough, laugh, sneeze, or hear water splashing, do you have an urge to pee, NOW? Do you make it a point to make sure you “Go before you go?” We all do, to a point.  Does it drive you mad that you can’t get a restful night’s sleep because you need to pee several times throughout the night. 

Registration closed for this series. Check back soon for a sign-up for the next offering.

Learn to control and strengthen the muscles of your pelvic floor adds freedom from incontinence, prolapse, from hemorrhoids, and brings spontaneity to your life.

Evidence shows you can learn to reverse affects from childbirth, prolapse, neurological abdominal surgeries—including hip replacements, a hysterectomy, and prostate surgery. After students have completed the class, many express better bladder control and less dribbling, reduces hemorrhoids, better balance, reduced back pain—even greater sexual pleasure!  They express a sense of freedom and more spontaneity, rather than their bladder controlling them. 

 All genders are welcome, all ages are welcome, and no previous experience is needed with the Feldenkrais Method or any other movement modality.   

We start our pelvic floor journey with The Beautiful Bony Geometry of our Pelvis.  This lesson is followed by investigating our curiosity of The Anatomy of a Sneeze, as it relates to peeing, and so much more.  The lessons are based on the Feldenkrais Method, and exercises from Blandine Calais-Germain, author of the Female Pelvis. Yes, it’s personal, it’s private, and that’s why this online course is ideal for the privacy of your home.

 Practice is key, and to made practicing easy I will provide you with online downloadable lessons so that you can continue your pelvic floor exercises, anytime, anywhere, in the privacy of your home. 

 
 

This class is ideal for:

  • Tired of untimely, embarrassing challenges associated with urinary incontinence.

  • Incontinence-difficulty in “holding it” regardless of how full the bladder is.

  • Prolapse-internal organs lowering from their usual position-vagina, uterus, rectum.

  • Hemorrhoids

  • Constipation

  • Trauma, disease, or medications that effects the neurological and muscular coordination of your pelvic floor.

  • Post prostrate, abdomen, low back, and hip replacement surgeries. 

  • Need more than “Kegels” to strength your pelvic floor.

  • Obesity has stretched the abdominal muscles and increased pressure onto your pelvic floor.

  • Vaginal births.

  • Ready for a non-invasive (no surgery, no medications, no needles).

  • Willing to practice.

  • Regain the joy and spontaneity into your life.

All genders welcome for this nine week virtual course which will guide you through a series of lessons designed to strengthen the muscles in the pelvic floor.  You will learn to coordinate your breath--especially under increased pressure from a sneeze, cough, or laugh. We will practice isolating and engaging the deep muscles in our core, abdomen, pelvic floor, right down to the sphincters.
