Kegels are the standard answer when more often than not we need to release tension, articulate muscles, and find movement. We need to find release and feel safe relaxing into our bodies. Into ourselves. We need this physically, mentally, and emotionally. I want you to use your breath in your daily life, your daily movements, and your daily practice. 

We’ve discussed how this works on a physical level to engage and stretch these muscles. This also provides benefits on an emotional and psychological level. This is part of the reason that meditation and yoga have so many mental health and emotional benefits. Because the way you breathe reflects and informs the state of your nervous system which dictates how you are experiencing your body and the world around you. 

We are kicking off season TWO with a four part deep dive all about YOUR pelvic floor: Why you have one, what you can expect at each stage of womanhood, how it works, and what this untapped physical and energetic powerhouse between your legs has to offer.

In this episode.

• Our brains react a lot like a toddler
• What your chakras have to do with your pelvic floor
• How to use your breath to reverse engineer your brain

I created Pilates For Your Privates, online courses marrying pelvic health and the Pilates method because we deserve to know what’s going on in and with our bodies and how to leverage our power for our own benefit. I created these courses before my son was born (and tore me in two) and it is because of this work I made a full, uncomplicated recovery from my fourth degree tear. My OBGYN, physical therapist, and Urogynecologist confirmed this fact. 

Whether you are looking to start learning about your body and build a strong foundation, you’re pregnant, or postpartum Pilates For Your Privates and I have your back, your front, and your undercarriage.
