Pelvic Floor 101

mom bod pelvic floor Dec 04, 2023

 

You know it all comes down to the pelvic floor, right?

 

Let’s just get real for a sec…

(Give yourself 1 point for every YES answer.)

 

Have you ever leaked pee in pregnancy, or since having a baby?

(Yes = 1; No = 0)

 

Is/was sex ever painful for you post-baby?

(Yes = 1; No = 0)

 

Do you have stubborn low back pain?

(Yes = 1; No = 0)

 

Do you have a “mom pooch?”

(Yes = 1; No = 0)

 

Now, add up your points.

 

If you have 1 POINT or more (yes, 1 measly point, so even one single YES), you need to spend some time with your core and pelvic floor.

 

Let's start with this: Inhale, release. Exhale, contract.

 

Imagine you're trying to lift a blueberry off the floor using your pelvic floor muscles. It's a slow, controlled lift, not a quick tight squeeze.

 

AND IT'S ALL ABOUT THE INHALE.

 

Ready to go deeper?

 

We learn all about the pelvic floor and practice pelvic floor breathing, transverse abdominis engagement, and yoga that wraps it all up together in the Mama Core workshop.

  • 3-hr online workshop all about ab separation & the pelvic floor
  • yoga + lecture + Q&A
  • for anyone who’s pregnant or who has ever been pregnant

 

Here's to a lifetime of “mom bod” being a compliment and not a curse.
