    A guided movement & awareness series for pelvic health

    Reconnect with your pelvis — build strength, flexibility, and ease.
    Learn body-based tools to support pelvic floor function and release the pain/tension cycle.

    ✔️ Diagnosed with Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
    ✔️ Experienced pelvic pain, leaking, or discomfort?
    ✔️ Want a pelvis that feels strong, supple, and juicy?This series is for you!

    The pelvic floor is the foundation of our body that contributes to all movement. When our pelvic floor is off balance, then everything above it can be off balance too. A functioning pelvic floor needs to flexible, supple and strong, able to both fully relax and contract and partner up with our core muscles for balance and proper functioning. 

    This series offers a supportive space to explore and care for your pelvic health. Whether you’ve experienced pelvic pain, leakage when laughing or sneezing, frequent urination, pregnancy or childbirth, prolapse, menopause, surgical recovery, lower back, hip, or groin discomfort, vulva irritation, or pain during sex or tampon use—this series is designed to help you reconnect mindfully with your pelvis and your core muscles. 

    The first part of the series will be to focus on awareness, relaxing and stretching the pelvic floor muscles. As you become better at connecting with your bodies we will continue the pelvic floor exploration strengthening exercises will be added. 

    This series will include embodiment, breathing practices, relaxation and meditation. 

     Facilitator:   Jo-Ann D’Alfonso C-IAYT is a bilingual (French/English) Yoga Therapist, Educator, and certified practitioner in Positive Psychology for WholeBeing and more.  

    ✨ All genders welcome. No experience needed.
