Intermediate Pelvic Stability
August Schedule: Week Four
•
37m
This intermediate pelvic stability class is Level 2 of our Restore Your Pelvic Floor series! We are progressing some similar moves to the beginners level and also adding some new ones including challenging your balance.
Same concepts apply as in the first level, pay attention to what's happening in your pelvic floor and TVA and coordinate your movement with your breath. Sometimes when we are in a difficult pose, we tend to HOLD our breath but it's imperative that as you exhale you > Lift > Zip > Knit the ribs and focus your intention. This is cultivating a strong connection with your pelvic floor and the muscles that need to fire when stimulus calls for it!
I didn't use any blocks during this sequence but you may want to have them handy in case you want them. We did utilize a pilates ball and if you don't have one, a block will suffice!
