In today's episode we decided to focus on the basics of women's pelvic floor health and how that relates to yoga practice and yoga teaching.  You'll hear: How the alignment of the feet and legs affect the pelvic floor. What teachers and students can do if they think they might have issues with their pelvic floor musculature. When, how and why hip pain or lower back pain originate with issues in the pelvic floor. Some things pregnant women and postpartum mamas can do to keep their pelvic floor healthy. And so much more!
