Pelvic Floor Yoga with Leslie Howard

Pelvic Floor Yoga with Leslie Howard

Pelvic Floor Yoga Virtual Workshop with Leslie Howard
8:00-10:00am MST (Tucson Local Time) Monday November 15

The human pelvis and the pelvic muscles are an under-appreciated region of the anatomy. Important not only for sexuality, the pelvic muscles are crucial for optimal functioning of the body. The pelvic muscles begin at perineum and are a complex arrangement of muscles that hold all of the lower organs. Heredity, life-style, and childbirth all have an effect on the perineum and the pelvic floor muscles.  Common problems that are related to the health of the pelvis are:

  • lumbar spinal problems
  • sacroiliac, hip or sciatic pain
  • bladder weakness
  • digestive, menstrual and sexual difficulties

This workshop will begin with an anatomic overview including descriptions, drawings and identification of the pelvic floor muscles. Afterward, we will explore a series of specific exercises for self-discovery, including both physical poses and breathing exercises to increase the flexibility, strength, and coordination of each of the pelvic functions.
