Forward Head Reversal (Upper Back)
Because we are a species that has to work in front of us, our posture inevitably will adapt to the position we spend the most time in. Which creates a pattern of forward head, tucked pelvis, shortened abdominals and weak/lengthened upperback muscles. All of this affects our pelvic health and pel...

Exploring Stability

20 Min Yin Practice
What is Yin yoga? Yin is a slow-paced, meditative style of yoga where passive and supported postures are held for long periods (typically 3+ minutes.) We use lots of props to "hold" us in each posture because they are longer holds. The practice targets deep connective tissues as well as muscles....

Wall-Asana for Hypertonic Pelvic Floor
Asana is the word we use to describe the physical side of a yoga practice. In today's class, we are doing all of our poses using the wall as one of our props. Additionally, the poses will all benefit a hypertonic pelvic floor but really it will create space around the entire pelvis. We do not ...

Glute & Hamstring Stability
"Nothin' good comes from having weak glutes!" When the glutes are weak, it becomes a domino effect around them creating dysfunctional patterns and compensation in other musculature groups that eventually leads to pain or other pelvic conditions like urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse....

Yoga For Mid Back (Thoracic Spine)
The upper and lower back get a lot of attention on the yoga mat and the mid back gets to be part of that but today, it's our main focus. When our thoracic spine, or mid back, is tight, our body likes to use the neck and low back to compensate which can create pain in both areas. The T-spine ten...

Bigger Isn't Better!
(class is 23 minutes)
