Well Woman Yoga for Pelvic Health – 1:1

Birthlight has developed a totally original yoga-based approach to create optimal pelvic tone, avoiding and repairing the damaging effects of both hyper toning through intensive exercise and hyper weakness due to lack of exercise for any reason. The combination of exercises and deep breathing is easy to learn and to practice, accessible to women with all levels of fitness and very effective within 6 to 8 weeks. Besides toning the pelvic floor in its entire length rather than in a partial way, practices deepen breathing and boost overall energy, creating a renewed foundation for wellbeing.

Improving blood circulation in the pelvis through specific sequences of yoga poses and abdominal breathing helps create a cascade of positive physiological effects and regulate the menstrual cycle. Well Woman Yoga for Pelvic Health, either in small classes or in one-to-one sessions, is recommended for women suffering from dysmenorrhea, endometriosis, fibroids, PGCOS and PMS.

I’m always asked why Well Woman yoga?
Yoga practice can safely benefit women who suffer difficult menstrual cycles, are undergoing the menopause, or who have specific medical conditions or are referred by an Osteopath or Chiropractor.   Or those that just want a gentle, restorative practice to connect to themselves.

Many turns in women’s lives are linked to events such as terminations of pregnancy, miscarriages, coming to terms with past traumas. Well Woman yoga classes help
women of all ages and walks of life to use gentle Yoga in order to process their individual experiences silently in their own way in a supportive atmosphere.
Offered on an individual session to women who might want them or as a small class.
