The idea of a “tight” pelvic floor sounds like a good thing, right? Well, it’s way more nuanced than that. 

Many women believe the best way to improve their pelvic floor tone and function is through a pelvic floor exercise called a kegal. 

While tightening the pelvic floor through this exercise can be beneficial (when done correctly), it’s missing a key part of pelvic floor health: balance. 

Similar to working out other parts of the body, a more balanced, holistic approach leads to results that help your body function optimally and, even more importantly, help you feel energized again.

Plus, chronic tension isn’t good for any group of muscles, and the pelvic floor is no exception. Even in women who don’t suffer from pelvic floor dysfunction, the area tends to be weak, and we can no longer mindfully relax it.

The pelvic floor is an area in which many women experience issues, especially after childbirth, surgery, and as we age. 

It’s important to remember that pelvic floor issues are incredibly common, affecting nearly 25% of all women. Yet, despite this prevalence, the topic remains largely taboo. Perhaps the embarrassment of a ‘sneeze pee’ is too much to discuss with friends, or the intimacy of the issue makes it difficult to share with a doctor?

Or you’ve been made to believe that what you’re suffering from is normal and you have to live with it?

Our intricate pelvic floor is a hammock of muscles that attach your pubic bone, tailbone, and sitz bones to your lower pelvic region.

These layers are literally the support for your vagina, bladder, uterus, small bowel, and rectum and hold them in place.

When our pelvic floor muscles are overly tight and out of balance, it can contribute to pelvic pain, low back pain, and incontinence.  

Learning how to mindfully relax your pelvic floor muscles benefits the body physically. It can also help immensely with releasing emotional stress, fear, and blockages that people can hold in their bodies. 

This two-hour workshop is designed to equip you with techniques to release tension, soften the fascia, muscles, and surrounding bone structure, and restore balance and strength to your pelvic floor. It’s a journey towards improved pelvic floor health and a more energized you. 

On a personal note, in 2016, I had a colon resection surgery for colon cancer. I worked personally with a pelvic floor specialist who taught me how to do a “proper kegal”  — a kegel exercise performed with the correct technique and focus on balance and relaxation. 

It also sparked my personal fascination with improving my pelvic floor tone and function using YBR, breathwork, and other techniques. 

So, join me to learn effective ways to use YBR to revitalize this neglected area of our bodies. 

Balls used: Black balls, Gold, and Pearl. 

Your Zoom link will be sent the day before the workshop.

See you on the ball!
