This half-day sessions is designed to give you the space to explore and connect with your body—as women, teachers, and holders of space. In this Pelvic Love session we will focus on what we know as the Pelvic Floor..

Together we will explore the structure (nuts and bolts) of the pelvic bowl, how the so-called pelvic floor relates to these bones, and how it creates an extraordinary web of support within our bodies.

For many, these muscles can feel unfamiliar or there may be a disconnect to them. Confusion is common about what the pelvic floor really is. Perhaps your own relationship with this area is through the bandhas as "locks," or via the NHS Squeezy app. Both approaches can suggest gripping or striving to be “stronger,” which may not always feel supportive or be the most helpful approach.

So, is there another way of relating to these muscles—one that feels more connected, embodied, and easeful?

I believe there is. For over three decades, I have worked with women’s bodies, focusing deeply on the pelvic region and how to support muscles in developing both tonality and functional strength, while also allowing them to remain flexible and at ease when needed—such as during birth.

Sadly, shame often lingers around women’s bodies: shame about having a “weak” pelvic floor, or about leaking when coughing or on your kids trampoline. But the answers are not Tena pads or surgery. Instead, they lie in cultivating better awareness and deeper understanding of our own bodies.
