PELVIC FLOOR YOGA
Yoga to help you get in touch with your pelvic floors
PRIVATE SESSIONS
Muladhara Chakra
Pelvic floor yoga can improve posture, alleviate incontinence, address pelvic prolapse, enhance sexual pleasure, and boost overall confidence.
Often overlooked until issues arise, pelvic floor health should be a focus from our 20s, if not earlier. If you're reading this, it’s likely this course is exactly what you need.
The pelvic floor forms the base of our core, supporting organs like the bladder, intestines, and uterus (in females). This muscle can weaken over time, especially after childbirth, making it crucial to maintain its strength and flexibility. In yoga, this area is known as the mula bandha, located between the pubic bones, sitting bones, and tailbone.
Considered an energetic lock or the 'Muladhara Chakra' (root chakra), it represents our foundation, helping us feel grounded and resilient. This parallels the importance of a strong pelvic floor.
WHAT WILL THE SESSIONS INVOLVE?
Yoga and breathing exercises focusing on pelvic floor awareness
Techniques to strengthen and soften the pelvic floor
Knowledge to integrate into regular yoga practice
These classes will guide you in strengthening and releasing your pelvic floor muscles through powerful breath work and gentle, moderate hatha yoga movements. 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.
