I'm addressing Pelvic Floor health, issues and the benefits of using Yogic Asanas and Pranayama for bringing back lifetime solution for women and men.
Don't miss the class this week to learn an empowering approach to getting stronger, more functional Pelvic and Core Muscles.
Pelvic floor toning offers a range of benefits for everyone, and practicing yoga and pranayama (breathwork) can enhance these benefits.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support organs like the bladder, uterus, and intestines. Toning these muscles through yoga and pranayama can help in myriad ways.
I'm listing a few major benefits here:
1. Improved Bladder Control:
For men & women, strengthening the pelvic floor helps prevent or reduce urinary incontinence. Yoga poses like Bridge Pose (Setu Bandhasana) and Goddess Pose (Utkata Konasana) can effectively tone the pelvic muscles, leading to better bladder control.
2. Support for Menopause and Perimenopause:
During perimenopause and menopause, women often experience pelvic discomfort, pressure, and incontinence due to hormonal changes. Pelvic floor yoga exercises, such as Chair Pose (Utkatasana) and Bridge Pose, can help alleviate these symptoms, providing support for pelvic health during these transitions.
3. Eased Childbirth and Recovery:
Women who practice yoga and pelvic floor exercises may experience easier childbirth, as a strong pelvic floor can assist during labor. Postpartum recovery is also faster when these muscles are toned, helping prevent pelvic organ prolapse.
4. Reduced Risk of Prolapse:
Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles helps maintain organ position, reducing the risk of pelvic organ prolapse. Poses like Happy Baby Pose (Ananda Balasana) and Warrior II (Virabhadrasana II) are helpful in strengthening these muscles and preventing prolapse.
5. Core Stability and Posture Improvement:
The pelvic floor is part of the core muscle group. For men and women, a strong pelvic floor improves core stability, enhances posture, and helps reduce lower back pain. Poses such as Plank Pose (Phalakasana) and Boat Pose (Navasana) engage both the core and the pelvic floor, improving alignment and strength.
6. Support for the Prostate:
For men, regular pelvic Asanas can help prevent or alleviate symptoms of prostatitis, which can cause pelvic discomfort or urinary problems.
Pranayama: Focus on Nadi Shuddhi (Alternate Nostril Breathing)
Nadi Shuddhi is a powerful pranayama practice that balances Pranic channels in the body, which can have a direct influence on the pelvic floor and overall relaxation.
How it works: Nadi Shuddhi involves breathing through one nostril at a time, alternating between the left and right. It calms the mind, relieves stress, and enhances energy flow through the body's Pranic channels. This practice encourages awareness of the body, including the pelvic area, and promotes relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles.
Benefits for Pelvic Floor: Nadi Shuddhi helps reduce tension in the pelvic muscles by calming the nervous system, especially for those experiencing pelvic discomfort, tension, or spasms. It improves oxygen flow to the pelvic region, supporting healing and vitality. Practicing this breathing technique regularly can enhance pelvic health by fostering a more relaxed, well-functioning core and pelvic area.
Incorporating focused yoga postures and pranayama practices like Nadi Shuddhi into your routine strengthens the pelvic floor while reducing stress, improving core stability, and supporting overall well-being.
Always remember, preventing issues before they manifest, maintaining base line health, practicing Asanas & Pranayama regularly - all have a cumulative positive effect on the body, mind and heart in the long run.
You are in it for the long run, isn't it?
