Stabilizing From the Pelvic Floor

As a sitting culture, we tend to lose touch with that most important of foundations: the pelvic floor.

Injury, childbirth, and aging all can contribute to a lack of tone and sense of instability right where we need to be connected the most.

Symptoms can include hip and lower back pain, balance issues, incontinence, reproductive issues and the like. While this workshop is not designed to fix these symptoms, it can offer a remedy through cultivating an awareness of the energetic locks or bandhas that regulate the flow of prana and support in the body. When done correctly, engagement of the pelvic floor muscles helps keep energy (and other substances) from leaking out the pelvic floor.

Join long-time 8 Limbs instructor Chiara Guerrieri for a workshop full of anatomical explanations, awareness exercises, and yoga practices. All levels and abilities welcome.

About the instructor: Chiara Guerrieri 

What to expect in ­­­Chiara’s Classes: Chiara teaches us how to connect with the body through the breath, how to track physical sensation moment to moment and how to find an internal sense that guides movement and choices for wellbeing. In both her SoulMat & Hatha yoga classes, expect to go slowly, to pay attention to your body and breath, and to explore alignment. An important aspect of Chiara’s teaching is to help students learn when – and from where – to stabilize or mobilize. Expect the wisdom of a 30-year teaching career, plus a good dose of humor, to infuse each class.
Main Influences/Styles/Traditions: SoulMat with Patrizia Gavoni, Hatha Yoga with Bob Smith, Forrest Yoga with Ana Forrest, Shari Fredrickson, ParaYoga with Rod Stryker, and dance from around the world.
