Pelvic floor awareness  is important for women no matter what age or stage of life  we are at.   From the onset of puberty, flowing into our latter years as we transition into peri-menopause and then into menopause. The health and integrity  of the pelvic floor is often taken for granted or over looked until one experiences complications or side effects. This could be anything  ranging from postpartum, surgery, illness, trauma, ageing, early onset menopause, peri  menopause, menopause, painful irregular monthly cycles, to a disconnection from our pelvic floor.

In this 2 1/2hour class  we explore a yoga sequence that focuses on softening, yielding, toning and strengthening, which all contribute to a deeper understanding and awareness  of the pelvic floor.

• Breathing practices to release  stress, yet  also strengthen and create suppleness through the pelvic floor.
• A flowing yoga sequence
•  Holding  specific  yoga postures to encourage strength , and tone of the pelvic floor, which improves pelvic organ prolapse.
• Supported and Restorative postures using yoga props.
• Postures which encourage balance and replenishment to the Nervous and Glandular systems, calming the mind, and relaxing the body
• Yoga Postures to support and create balance for your menstrual cycle
• An awareness around Hypertonic Pelvic Floor -tightness, and Hypotonic Pelvic Floor – looseness
• A take home pelvic floor maintenance booklet

Melissa has written  2 articles for the nationally published magazine “Australian Yoga Life” that touch on this topic. Please find these under  Media on her website.

Pelvic floor awareness is necessary at whatever age or stage of your life you are at. If the health of the pelvic floor is maintained from a young age  you may find the transitioning into your latter stages of your life  a little more easeful. But it is never too late to begin!
