Who is this workshop appropriate for?
Any person with a pelvic floor!
Actually, men have pelvic floors, too :) But, my particular passion and focus for this workshop is on the vagina-owning community.
In this workshop, you can expect a supportive and inclusive environment where you will feel comfortable discussing and exploring your pelvic floor health. The instructor, Kaye Sharp MPT, WHC, E-RYT, is trained in pelvic floor physical therapy and has extensive experience working with individuals with various pelvic floor conditions.
This workshop is suitable for individuals of all ages and fitness levels, including those who are pregnant, have recently given birth, experienced trauma, or are simply looking to improve their pelvic floor health. Whether you are a beginner or have some prior knowledge of pelvic floor exercises, this workshop will provide you with valuable tools to optimize your health and UNLOCK your pelvic floor!
What to expect:
1. Understand the anatomy and function of the pelvic floor highlighting the pelvic floor muscles and their role in supporting the pelvic organs, controlling urinary and bowel function, and maintaining sexual health.
2. Identify and address common signs and symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, such as pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, and pelvic organ prolapse. You will learn how to recognize these issues and explore strategies to address them effectively.
3. Many individuals experience tightness and tension in their pelvic floor muscles, which can contribute to pain and dysfunction. This workshop will introduce you to specific exercises and stretches that can help you release tension and improve flexibility, manage pressure, and calm your nervous system .
4. Building strength in the pelvic floor muscles is crucial for maintaining their function and preventing issues like urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. You will go through a series of exercises that target these muscles, helping you develop strength and control in the hips and pelvis.
5. Integrate mindfulness and breath work which plays a significant role in pelvic floor health. We will explore techniques that promote relaxation and improve mind-body connection, allowing you to develop a deeper understanding and awareness of your pelvic floor.
