Start Your Pelvic Floor Journey
Does exercising make you feel wet or increase your pelvic pain and pressure?
Are you frustrated and feeling a little bit broken?
YOU ARE NOT ALONE!
24% of women experience pelvic floor dysfunction in their lives and it impacts all genders. Unfortunately, people tend to suffer in silence because they don't know what to do. They give up on fitness and their health suffers. Fortunately, there are exercises that may help you get fit without worsening your symptoms.
Pelvic floor yoga is specifically designed for your muscle concerns. Every pose is focused on your body's needs, so that you can safely relax and strengthen your pelvic floor while you work the entire body. Use the breath and hip adjustments you learn in class and apply them to real life, and you'll feel like a new person.

Frequently Asking Questions
Is this bootcamp designed for people with tight or weak pelvic floors?
BOTH! Every class will give modifications to poses that will help you focus more on stretching or relaxing, depending on what your body needs.
I have pelvic organ prolapse. Will this be a problem for me in the bootcamp?
If your doctor has cleared you to exercise, you should enjoy this course. The instructor has been living with prolapse since 2011, and always gives modifications to prevent you from feeling extra pressure while you're exercising.
My pelvic floor is really tight. How can I get stronger without hurting myself?
All of our yoga classes focus on deep breathing while stretching the pelvic floor. On the days when you feel up to trying some of the strengthening focused modifications, the poses will always be followed by movements designed to release any tension you might be holding in the pelvic floor. I'll also let you in a secret - most of the stretching poses subtly build strength, too, so you can get stronger by just sticking with the relaxing options.
What's the deal with pelvic floor yoga? Do you just stick Kegels into your routines?
Kegels actually are not good exercises for many people, so we don't use them. This style of yoga positions the pelvis in a way that supports your organs and protects the pelvic floor. We also use breathing techniques to help move the pelvic floor through its full range of motion, which is important for everyone's pelvic health. Occasionally, you'll hear an optional cue to "lift the perineum," but only for a few breaths in the class. This is as close as we ever get to a Kegel, and it's rare that we even go that far.
Can I use my mobile phone or tablet?
Yes! You can watch our videos on any device that has internet access.
Will I be required to be on camera during the bootcamp?
We do not require anyone to keep their cameras on during class. We strongly encourage it so that the teacher can help you modify and prevent injury, but we respect your decision to turn off your video if you are feeling uncomfortable.
How do I participate in the sessions?
We use Zoom to broadcast the sessions. You will receive the private Zoom link via email after registration.
What days and times are the sessions?
The sessions will be Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 6 pm pst, and will last 60 minutes. The Pelvic Floor exercise/yoga portion will last 45 minutes and will be followed by 15 minutes of Q & A time so you can be further educated.
