Is your pelvis overachieving, underachieving or well-balanced?
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 & lower back pain, balance issues, incontinence, reproductive issues and the like. Yoga offers a brilliant remedy through cultivating awareness of bandhas. Moving the bandha keeps energy (and other substances) from leaking out the pelvic floor. Join long-time yoga and anatomy instructor Chiara Guerrieri and renowned pelvic floor specialist Kathe Wallace, PT for a workshop full of anatomical explanations, awareness exercises, and yoga practices. All levels and abilities welcome.
