Why Pelvic Yoga?

Yoga provides a multitude of physical and mental benefits for your body. The American Osteopathic Association provides a perfect explanation of the wonderful advantages of incorporating yoga into your life.
If you have chronic pelvic floor tension, uncomfortable or painful sex, or even hip or lower back pain, this could be improved with pelvic yoga as guided by pelvic floor physical therapy. A great way to ease into physical therapy, supplement your ongoing treatment plan, and/or just have an increased range of motion and flexibility is to incorporate mindfulness, pelvic yoga, and stretching into your life! Many of the yoga poses described below can be done individually or in a series as part of your at-home treatment.
 
Utilize this playlist to find yoga positions, and modifications, that allow you to meet your body where it is at. Work through the playlist to identify the best poses for your target areas and create your own daily playlist of perfect poses! Always remember to practice diaphragmatic breathing throughout your daily postures, and utilize tools to help you bring these postures to where your body is at.
