Explore Your Pelvic Floor with PhysioYoga Shelly is offering an [...]

Join Shelly in this dynamic & educational workshop as she discusses common pelvic health issues such as incontinence & pelvic pain, & explain how a combination of yoga, Pilates & physiotherapy can address these issues & help maintain optimal pelvic health. Discussions will include how the popular Kegel exercises can potentially exacerbate many incontinence & pelvic pain issues, how the nervous system is involved in pelvic pain & incontinence, & how pelvic health is so much more than just the pelvic floor. A fun, inspiring & empowering practice, consisting of yoga asana, pranayama (including pelvic diaphragmatic breath), meditation, Pilates & physiotherapy based exercises will be included!

WHAT: 2 hour guided meditation practise including discussion on 'what' meditation is, benefits AND potential side effects/precautions with meditation (supported by research). This practise will include exploration & practise of 4 different types of meditation that you can immediately start to use at home & in your day to day activities. WHO: this informal, comfortable and non-intimidating environment is suitable for beginners who know nothing about meditation but are interested in learning more AND also for those who have a mild, moderate or strong meditation practise and want to explore more. WHY: I've had overwhelming requests to offer a meditation practise of this type for quite some time. Personally, meditation has provided me with a clarity, calmness, and sense of 'peace and joy', amidst the 'issues' or fluctuations/situations that arise in life. Many people are discovering the benefits of meditation; and SCIENCE is showing some fascinating changes that can result in our brain, immune systems, genetic expression, and MANY other systems in our bodies & minds as a result of regular meditation practise. More and more people are becoming curious about meditation. I would love to share with you all what I have been taught about meditation over the past 15 years, what I have researched about it, and what I have experienced clinically with my clients as well as in my own practise and life!!
