In this dynamic 90 minute workshop you will start or continue your path to stronger muscles, better sex, and confident sneezes. The pelvic floor is the unsung hero of true, functional, dynamic core strength. Often forgotten because we aren't supposed to say vagina, this hammock of muscles does some serious heavy lifting and deserves some credit and attention. Whether or not you've had children!
In this workshop you will learn...
Basic anatomy of the pelvis and pelvic floor -- but in a fun way!
How the muscles of the pelvic floor behave and respond to exercise, intercourse, birth/postpartum, menopause, injury, trauma, and more!
How to integrate this fundamental hammock of muscles into your movement practices -- we will be using the Pilates method, but you can use this knowledge in ALL of your moves!
Why harnessing the hidden powerhouse between your legs is the keystone to stronger muscles, better sex, and confident sneezes -- you're welcome ;)
How you will learn all of this...
Talking the talk | A presentation by Alissa going through the anatomy you need to know in order to understand how the pelvis and pelvic floor function and how they relate to the rest of your body
Walking the walk | A 60 minute full body workout both isolating and integrating the pelvic floor into the Pilates matwork
Your Q, My A | The pelvic floor is as complex, nuanced, and intelligent as you are! So there will be time for you to get your questions answered, review and clarify, and integrate what you learn conceptually with what we experience physically.
