I found a thread from a few years ago about Yoga for Incontinence, which emphasized strengthening the pelvic floor. I see a pelvic floor therapist (at $150 a visit, ouch!), and she has taught me that I need to relax, rather than strengthen, my pelvic floor. A lot of women hold tension in their pelvic area, which leads to damage over time (think clinching your pelvis instead of hunching your shoulders.)
I’ve found a lot of yoga videos that focus on strengthening the pelvic floor, but none on relaxing that area the way other videos focus on relieving tension in the shoulders and back. I would LOVE a yin style class on relaxing the pelvic floor and surrounding areas.

This is a great suggestion! I will take it to the team, I know Julia Crouch has a lot of classes focusing on pelvic floor health. Maybe she can do an additional one on this topic!

Hello, I’m also searching for something similar on my PTs recommendation. I’ve searched but not found anything specific on this site for hypertonic pelvic floor. Thankyou for all of your classes, I know I can reliably come here and find professional classes.

Hi Ali, Very specific conditions may not be easy to search for but the overall impact might be. Julia Crouch would be the best person to ask about this one! @julia.yoga.classes
