Open Path: Preparing Your Pelvic Floor for Labor and Birth
Your pelvic floor is both the portal to the world, and also the guide for how your baby enters the world. It is the emotional gateway to the womb, and the ground of our physical and energetic center. Bottom line, this is where it starts!
This session is for birthing people to join Bec for an interactive lecture, discussion and practice around the anatomy, physiology and practices for preparing the pelvic floor for the birth process and beyond. We will delve into the difference between tension and tone, and yes, cover ways to help minimize any damage during the birth process.
In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to learn:
The different muscles and physiology of the pelvic floor
How the tone within the pelvic floor impacts the birth process
Discover if you are tighter, looser, or a combination
Practices for self discovery and release (these will all be clothed)
Yoga practices to help tone and balance the pelvic floor to help promote an easier and smoother labor and postpartum recovery.
