1 / of1
Professional and evidence-informed guide to pelvic yoga therapy for the whole womanThis professional and evidence-based guide helps yoga teachers and yoga therapists, as well as movement and fitness professionals to understand the intersections of biomechanics, biochemistry and self-regulation, emotional resiliency, pain science and dynamic strategies for pelvic embodiment. By including case studies, this book takes the practitioner through the journey of self-assessment and ultimately demystifies the pelvic floor.
Focusing on women's pelvic health through yoga therapy, this evidence-based resource covers the intersections of biomechanics, self-study through yoga philosophy, emotional resilience, pain science and dynamic strategies for pelvic embodiment.
Integrating pedagogical frameworks that differentiate yoga therapy from pelvic floor physical therapy, the book demonstrates how they can work together by including somatic education and case studies. It also covers breath patterns, mental constructs and conditioning, and baseline body awareness - taking the practitioner through the journey of self-assessment, building the therapeutic relationship and ongoing embodied practice.
Looking at the individual rather than pelvic health as a sole diagnosis, Yoga Therapy for the Whole Woman is an invaluable guide for yoga teachers, yoga therapists, movement and fitness professionals and healthcare professionals working with women with pelvic floor challenges.
