Yoga to strengthen the pelvic floor engages your pelvic floor, legs and core. You'll pay attention to the position of your pelvis and notice how your muscles engage and your body returns to relaxation.
In this 90-minute class, you'll practice “Three-Legged Downward-Facing Dog”, “Dynamic Cat with Leg Extension”, and “Seated Forward Bend”. In the seated forward bend, you'll feel a stretch along the backs of your legs. Bend forward smoothly, without jerky movements. Near the end, you'll practice the breathing exercise “Pranayama in Cat Pose”. You'll lie down to rest at the end of the class.
Do not keep your pelvic floor muscles tense all the time. If you have pain or incontinence, or are recovering after childbirth, work with a professional to choose a suitable level of exercise.
