Pelvic Floor & Core Workshop with Sienna Smith

  • Metta Yoga San Rafael 835 4th Street, Suite B San Rafael, CA 94901 USA (map)

Is your pelvic floor tight or weak? 

Do you lack connection and control of your pelvic floor? 

Do you activate Mula Bandha (root lock) during yoga practice? 

Does your core turn off exactly when you need it most?

The pelvic floor and core should support every movement you make. The two should work together to give you stability, balance, and power. Unfortunately, most of us move from the periphery (arms & legs) instead of our center — the pelvic floor and core. Learn effective strengthening, opening, and energizing ways to access this critical area.

Strengthening: The pelvic floor and core may be dull, weak, and unsupportive, leading to prolapse, incontinence, decreased libido, discomfort, and pain. 

Opening: Most people hold some degree of tension in the pelvic floor. Excess and chronic tension can lead to pelvic, sacrum, and lower back pain, digestive disorders, low energy, and fatigue.  

Energizing: The pelvis is the house of your 1st and 2nd chakra (energy centers), and the core brings in the 3rd chakra. The lower three charkas help us feel grounded, calm, and secure in our bodies. They also serve as the foundation for the heart, throat, and crown chakras. Learn how to generate vitality and life-force from the pelvic base so more energy flows through your whole body.  

Join Sienna in this workshop that includes a well-constructed and informed practice with pelvic floor exercises, core work, hip strengthening, and hip stretches, as well as breathing and meditation that will help integrate the techniques deeper. Participants will receive a Pelvic Floor & Core Home Practice and all levels are welcome!
