20:00Strengthening the Pelvic Floor (Session 3)
This strengthening the pelvic floor class will help the pelvic floor to stay strong and function well throughout our lives. Class starts with a short warm-up, then we do a series of movements, to work on building a stronger and more functional pelvic floor to support everyday activities. This class is designed to enhance both strength and flexibility in the pelvic muscles. You'll need a bolster and a yoga brick.

16:00Pelvic Floor Exercises (Session 2)
Build on pelvic floor strength by incorporating different speeds of movement. The pelvic floor consists of both fast and slow-twitch muscle fibers, so working at varied speeds is essential for recruiting all muscle fibers and maintaining their strength and flexibility. This is especially important for post-menopausal individuals, as fast-twitch fibers decline more rapidly with age due to reduced collagen production. You’ll move through seated, all fours, and standing positions, with yoga poses and Pilates-inspired variations that are more challenging. You may need wall for balance during faster standing movements. You'll need a yoga bolser, if you have one, and a yoga block or book. It is recommended that you do Gentle Pelvic Floor exercises before this one.
