Yoga to help you get in touch with your pelvic floors
PRIVATE SESSIONS or
GROUP CLASSES IN-PERSON ILFRACOMBE & ONLINE
Wednesdays 11:00-12:00noon, JAN 17th, 24th, 31st
Pelvic floor yoga can improve our posture, incontinence, pelvic prolapse, sexual pleasure and overall confidence.
Often ignored until there is an issue, we should be focusing on PFs from our 20's, if not before! If you're reading this page, I imagine this course is what you're looking for.
Pelvic floors make up the base of our core and hold the pelvic organs in place - bladder, intestines, uterus (females). As we get older, and for those who’ve experience childbirth, this muscle can become weaker (too soft or too hard). so it is important we are familiar with these muscles, In yoga they are referred to them as the mula bandha – at the base of the spine, located in between your pubic bones, sitting bones and tail bone.
In yoga, they are considered an energetic lock, known as 'Muladhara Chakra', the root chakra: considered your foundations for life, helping you feel grounded and able to withstand challenges. Very much how we feel about our pelvic floors.
WHAT WILL SESSIONS INVOLVE?
Yoga & breathing exercises that focus on pelvic floor awareness, instruction that will strengthen and soften the area, and knowledge to take this into regular yoga classes.
~ These classes will teach you how to strengthen and release your pelvic floor muscles with powerful breath work, and gentle, moderate hatha yoga movement.
~ Movement suitable for all levels and abilities.

About me: I’m a Senior Yoga Teacher and have practiced yoga since 1994, and taught since 2014. I’ve trained with many wonderful teachers and learnt numerous styles over the years, accruing over 750hrs of training. I teach an amalgamation of yoga styles that enable me to support women’s health, enhance athletic performance, and manage injuries.
I have always loved alternative lifestyles and adventure, from exploring Tarot cards and spell books in childhood, and then walking into my first yoga class at 14 which was weird and wonderful. I had no idea it would bring such richness to my life. Yoga has infinite lessons to teach us: it offers guides to healthy lifestyles choices, living in harmony with the seasons and nature, even equipping us with ethics to respect ourselves and others. It infuses ancient wisdom with modern science so we have the best of both worlds to make informed choices. When I explored the depth of these teachings I felt like I had found what I had been searching for - the Well Woman movement.
My three children are my inspiration to tune deep into the feminine sources. They guide me on boundaries, help me dismantle the patriarch, and have opened my eyes to further understand how much choice we have with identity. I have much to be grateful for in my life, including the cohort of people that strive to support those transitioning through life with more ease and self awareness. The Well Woman movement is gaining powerful momentum, something I hope to be able to continuously support. I'm currently creating courses for yoga teachers and practitioners who work with women's health, to support them with Well Woman courses.
