$75.00 Yoga for Pelvic Pain
This three part workshop with Leslie Howard, founder of Pelvic Floor Yoga™, is designed to help people with pain or tension
in the pelvis, hips or back. Pain and tension can result from trauma or
chronic holding patterns. Trauma can include chronic poor posture,
surgeries, difficult labor, sexual abuse or other strains. Pelvic trauma
or tension can contribute to incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.
This workshop includes a brief anatomy lecture and discussion, breathing
techniques and yoga poses done with particular attention to gently
relax the muscles of the pelvis, hip and back. Handouts will be provided
to help support your practice of what you will learn.
