Your pelvic floor is an important part of your bladder, bowel, reproduction, and sexual health. I wanted to offer something that allowed me to share what I have learned over the years as a physiotherapist and yoga therapist helping men and women optimize their pelvic floor health and function.

These practices address the roles our pelvic floor plays in breathing, posture, hip function, core timing, and standing balance ability and are filmed in breathtaking nature settings with spectacular cinematography by Mike Bernard and soulful music uniquely created by Trance Blackman with special care and attention to the intentions of each practice.
Healthy pelvic floor muscles need to be capable of being engaged in functional and coordinated ways in timing with other muscle groups and, like other muscles, it is essential that the pelvic floor muscles also be flexible and capable of being released and relaxed, with the ability to move throughout the full excursion during the breath cycle.
This video practice series includes:
Part A: "Pelvic Floor Muscle Relaxation":
40 minute practice of releasing the pelvic floor muscles through pelvic floor awareness, visualization and breathing methods, during mindful movements and yoga postures.
Part B: "Pelvic Floor Muscle Engagement":
40 minute practice that includes engagement of the pelvic floor muscles with various mindful movements and yoga postures integrated with the breath pattern.
The Toilet Meditation:
In this video, I guide you through the 6 Stages of Mindful Toileting I created to help improve pelvic floor awareness and relaxation. This may help with a variety of pelvic health issues including pain, excessive muscle tension, or incomplete emptying of the bowel and bladder. The Toilet Meditation can also be found here:

**These practices are not meant to act as treatment for your specific issue nor replace your current treatment. Please check with your health care professional before starting this program to see if there are any precautions or contraindications you need to adhere to and whether pelvic floor muscle relaxation, engagement , or a combination of both, is indicated for you.
I sincerely hope you enjoy these practices, appreciate the nature settings and music, and hope they make a difference in your life, in a valuable way.
