Breath & Pelvic Floor Connection
Breathe Better

26m
Today we are spending more time cultivating a deep connection with our pelvic floor and how the breath animates it upon inhalation, exhalation and engagement. We'll spend time in some release postures and then visit several positions where we tap into the lift, zip and knit action that happens in pelvic floor, lower core and ribs. This class is best to take after you've taken the Connecting to Breath class from Restore Your Pelvic Floor!
You'll need: a rolled up blanket/towel or small bolster, 2 blocks and if you have one a pilates ball - can also use a block instead or even a pillow.

Like I always say, when we breathe better, our pelvic floor functions better but...
