Lesson 5

Restorative Practices And Long-Term Pelvic Health Care

This final lesson emphasizes rest and renewal, with practices designed to integrate everything you’ve learned so far. The focus is on supporting pelvic health as a critical foundation for overall well-being, especially as we move beyond menopause. As hormone levels change, maintaining pelvic floor strength and flexibility becomes even more essential to prevent issues like incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and discomfort during daily activities. Prepare a cozy space with a yoga mat, blankets, or pillows for extra support. Dim the lights or light a candle to create a calming, nurturing atmosphere. Keep a journal nearby for reflection after the session. These restorative poses not only enhance pelvic floor health but also promote relaxation and stability, helping to manage stress and improve circulation. By committing to regular pelvic care, you're laying the groundwork for a strong, resilient foundation that supports your body, mind, and emotional well-being—both now and for years to come.
