I am offering a five week series Yoga for Pelvic Health in Rochester in January - February 2026.

But what IS yoga for pelvic health, you ask?

Well, the pelvis is the center of our stability supporting our movement. It is the foundation of what is generally called our core. There are many layers of muscle and connective tissue inside and outside of the pelvis that coordinate together to create the stability of our sacroiliac and hip joints. This radiates out to the torso (what most people think of when the word "core" is used) and the legs. The strength, flexibility and coordination of these muscles impacts our core strength, our balance, the health of our knees and the spine. Their health is essential for continence (bladder control) and organ support. What may be surprising for many people is that these muscles affect our breathing patterns! And then the breathing in return affects the functioning of our core ... all the way to the deep core, the pelvic floor.

In the Yoga for Pelvic Health series, we will focus first on awareness. We will engage in exercises that bring awareness of the bony structure and how it relates, through our experience, to the musculature. We will also explore breathing patterns to become aware of how our pattern is affecting our movement. We will work with very gentle movements, yoga postures to bring awareness to the areas that need to stretch and those that need to strengthen and how to effectively work to bring balance to our pelvis, hips, core, and legs. Issues with continence and organ prolapse will be addressed and all practices will be demonstrated and practiced in a way that is safe, as well as healing, for those conditions.

To create a comfortable, safe atmosphere, this series will be for women only. You can check out the details and register here: Yoga for Pelvic Health. Reach out to me with any questions you may have by using the contact field at the bottom of this page.

Together we will learn and practice the foundations of healthy supported functional movement and observe how it contributes to us experiencing more freedom, confidence and resilience. I look forward to learning and practicing with you!
