Been recommended to some basic exercises to strengthen the Pelvic Floor as the cure can affect bladder control. I'd like to extend the exercises over the basic 2 that the nurse has shown me. So is the Pelvic Floor a good way to go (for a red blooded male)?

I love your videos. However (!), I please urge you to do some work with a women’s health physio and revise this video as well as your other yoga videos where you talk about lifting the pelvic floor (but never releasing). Contraction should come and naturally comes with exhale, not inhale. The pelvic floor naturally relaxes with inhale. We need to work with the body. I got to the first contraction which you advised to do with an inhale and knew I had to stop and write to you. Secondly, we can’t just lift the pelvic floor and not also consciously relax it. Very unhelpful for the many people with hypertonic pelvic floor. 1 in 3 women have pelvic floor dysfunction and there is so much misinformation about it. I think we owe it to ourselves and all women (and men, some of whom also have pelvic floor issues) to make sure we are informed and working in the best way for our bodies. There are fabulous women’s health physios out there and some do training for PTs/ yoga teachers/ coaches. Much love

I love your videos, however I am not great at keeping up practice.
I was wondering if this is safe if pregnant? I have just found out I am pregnant (after suffering a misscarriage earlier in 2021) so don't want to push anything - I am very much a beginner yogi!
Warmest wishes from the UK,
Ruth

I love the way Adriene was encouraging us to incorporate use of our pelvic floor muscles in familiar poses. I didn’t ever engage at that deep level before. Perhaps she can incorporate that into new sessions to get us all focused on that internal hammock while doing every session.

Along with exercises , you may want to look into AlgaeCal andStrontium Boost supplements. They help to rebuild the bone.

Something like 30 minutes long, a few min on neck and shoulders, a few min on pelvic floor and gentle core, and then a little flow focusing on gentle stretches and core and pelvic floor awareness. So many mamas out there! Needing some serious love to these bodies that are giving, giving, giving!!! Recovering from birth and holding and feeding babies (position similar to text neck) ALL THE TIME. There are surprisingly few high quality postpartum classes available online. The vast majority are very inappropriate. Way too strenuous on the body. Give it some thought <3 So grateful every day for the work of team YWA.

Are there other videos that are specifically helpful for pelvic floor issues? Thanks so much.
