Yoga for Women’s Health
Offering benefits for women at all stages in their cycles and throughout their lives
Iyengar Yoga for Women’s Health Provides a Holistic Approach
Do you suffer from issues such as tight pelvic floor, urinary incontinence, perimenopause, menopause, endometriosis, heavy periods, hormonal imbalance, infertility, pelvic organ prolapse, and other gynecological issues?
Women have a unique set of needs as their body’s experience change on a monthly basis and they experience the many shifts throughout the years.
I offer private yoga sessions as well as workshops/specialty classes focused on women’s health to support you no matter what age or stage you’re in!
From the onset of menstruation through the childbearing years, and long into the changes of midlife and wisdom of older years, yoga can be used to honor the cyles and stages of a woman’s life. Geeta, daughter of BKS Iyengar, revolutionized teaching and practice of yoga for women’s health as she developed new sequencing and ways to practice poses that help restore health and balance for women’s ever-changing bodies.
“Yoga is like music. The rhythm of the body, the melody of the mind, and the harmony of the soul creates the symphony of life.” ~ BKS Iyengar
Yoga for Pelvic Floor
Pelvic floor muscles can be beneficial for tight pelvic floor (hypertonic) or loose pelvic floor (hypotonic) that can be caused by the stress of childbirth, menopausal changes and health or sexual history. These important, yet little talked-about muscles are vital for balance, back, hip and sacroiliac health.
Pelvic floor imbalances can look different for every body and can show up as back, hip or sacroiliac issues, painful intercourse, incontinence and digestive complaints.
Yoga can help nurture and balance muscles as well as restore healthy function of organs. Experience postural support through a toned and balanced pelvic floor.
