What is Pelvic Floor Yoga?
Pelvic floor yoga is a practice that combines gentle, mindful movement with focused breathwork to support the health and function of your pelvic floor. This group of muscles at the base of your pelvis is often overlooked, but it plays a crucial role in supporting your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, as well as contributing to your core strength and stability.
What Makes It So Amazing?
Pelvic floor yoga isn’t just about doing Kegels! It’s a holistic approach to wellness that emphasizes:
Strength and Flexibility: Many of us think our pelvic floors need to be tighter, but balance is key. Strengthening and releasing tension in these muscles can improve overall function.
Stress Relief: The connection between your breath and pelvic floor can help you unwind, reduce tension, and feel more grounded.
Core Support: A well-functioning pelvic floor works together with your deep core muscles, helping to protect your body during daily activities, exercise, and even pregnancy.
Better Movement Patterns: Gentle yoga poses and stretches improve posture, alignment, and mobility, which can reduce pain and discomfort in your hips, lower back, and pelvis.
Trust me, once you experience it, you won't want to miss another class!
Who Is It For?
Pelvic floor yoga is for everyone! It’s especially beneficial if you:
Are pregnant or postpartum
Experience pelvic floor symptoms (like leaking, heaviness, or pain)
Want to build a stronger, more stable core
Are looking for a gentle, restorative way to connect with your body
What to Expect in a Pelvic Floor Yoga Class
In our Pelvic Floor Yoga classes, you’ll find more than just a workout—you’ll find a welcoming sisterhood of women supporting each other in their wellness journeys.
Each class is designed to help you connect with your body in a safe, nurturing space. We begin with gentle breathing exercises to calm your mind and awaken your pelvic floor. From there, we flow through a series of poses that strengthen and release tension, always prioritizing mindful movement and alignment.
You don’t need to worry about being “good at yoga” or knowing the poses ahead of time—this class is for all levels. Whether you’re a seasoned yogi or brand new to movement, you’ll feel supported and celebrated for exactly where you are.
The energy in the room is collaborative and uplifting, as women of all ages and stages come together to learn, grow, and reconnect with their bodies. It’s a space to laugh, relax, and leave feeling empowered in every sense of the word.

As we enter 2025, many of us are thinking about setting new fitness goals. But here’s the thing: it’s easy to get caught up in the pressure of setting perfect goals, or even worse, to slip into feelings of shame when we don’t achieve everything we wanted in 2024. Or, we might bounce to the other extreme and set goals that are so big they feel overwhelming.
So, let’s take a step back. The key to setting goals that work is flexibility and specificity. Your goals should be adaptable to the realities of life (because we all know life can throw curveballs) but specific enough that you have a clear path forward.
Here’s an example: if your goal is to run a 5k, instead of jumping straight into long runs, break it down into smaller, achievable habits. Start by walking 30 minutes a day for two weeks, then progress to a walk/run mix for 30 minutes, three times a week. Over time, you’ll build endurance without burning out!
Or, let’s say your goal is to lose weight. Instead of focusing solely on the number on the scale, think about the habits that will help you get there. For example, you could start by focusing on slowing down your meals—try making each meal last for at least 20 minutes for the next two weeks. Once that becomes a habit, add in another small goal like eating an extra serving of veggies with one meal each day.
Remember, it’s not about perfection—it’s about progress. Aim for 80% success. If you’re hitting about 80% of the workouts you planned, or sticking to 80% of your goals, you’re doing great! The all-or-nothing mentality often leads to frustration (we’ve all been there: “I ate a cookie before noon, guess the whole day’s a bust!”), but if you focus on small, consistent habits, you’ll see long-term results.
So, what are your goals for 2025? Drop one of your big goals in the comments below, and let us know one small, bite-sized habit that will help you get there. Let’s make this year all about progress, not perfection!
