This 3-week yoga series is designed to improve pelvic floor health through a combination of yoga, meditation, and breathing exercises. The series will consist of three 60-minute classes, plus 15 minute q&a, once a week for three consecutive weeks.

Week 1: Yoga for Pelvic Floor Awareness

During the first week, we will delve into the topic of pelvic floor muscles. Our approach will be gentle and slow-paced, perfect for developing a deeper awareness of these important muscles. The session will begin with a guided meditation that focuses on connecting with the breath and the body. After that, we will proceed to a series of yoga poses specifically designed to target the pelvic floor muscles. These poses include seated forward folds, hip openers, and gentle twists. In addition to this, we will also explore the concept of bandhas, or energy locks. These locks can be used to enhance the strength and tone of the pelvic floor muscles, which is essential for overall physical health and wellbeing.

Week 2: Breathing for Pelvic Floor Health

In week two, we will delve deeper into the important connection between the breath and the pelvic floor muscles. By practicing various breathing exercises, such as diaphragmatic breathing, bhrameri breath, and mula bandha, we will be able to not only tone and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles but also enhance our overall well-being.

In addition to these breathing exercises, we will also incorporate gentle movement and restorative yoga poses into our practice. These poses will help to release tension and tightness in the pelvic floor muscles, promoting relaxation and reducing stress. As we move through these poses, we will focus on our breath, allowing it to guide us deeper into relaxation and a sense of inner calm.

By the end of week two, you will have a deeper understanding of the connection between your breath and your pelvic floor muscles, as well as a variety of tools and techniques to help you strengthen, tone, and relax these important muscles. You will feel a greater sense of ease in your body and be better equipped to manage stress and promote overall well-being.

Week 3: Yoga for Pelvic Floor Strength

During week three of our yoga practice, we will delve deeper into the importance of building strength in the pelvic floor muscles. We will begin by exploring the various standing poses, gentle inversions, and arm balances that can help to engage these muscles, allowing us to build greater strength and stability throughout our practice. Through this more vigorous yoga practice, we will also gain a deeper understanding of the role that the pelvic floor plays in core stability, and learn how to effectively integrate pelvic floor engagement into our daily routine. By the end of the week, we will have developed a stronger, more balanced yoga practice that is grounded in a deeper understanding of the body and its many interconnected systems.

By the end of this 3-week yoga series, you will have a much more comprehensive understanding of the pelvic floor muscles. You will learn how to care for these important muscles through a variety of yoga poses, meditation techniques, and breathwork exercises, each of which is designed to strengthen and tone the pelvic floor while also promoting relaxation and reducing stress. In addition to these physical benefits, you will also gain a deeper appreciation for the mind-body connection and how it can be harnessed to achieve greater health and well-being. Ultimately, you will leave this series feeling not only stronger and more balanced, but also more empowered in your pleasure and connected to your body than ever before.
