Building pelvic floor resilience starts with greater awareness, strength, mobility, and connection with the body. Led by Yoga Instructor & Fitness Trainer Mel Gutierrez, this movement-based class incorporates pelvic floor exercises, breath, body-centered techniques, and core strengthening to explore the relationship between the pelvis, pelvic floor, and surrounding muscle groups. Through progressive strength movements and mindful alignment, Mel guides you in working with the pelvic floor as an integrated part of the body while developing a stronger foundation for movement and resilience.

Pelvic Floor & Core Resilience

Pelvic floor-focused movement brings intentional awareness to the relationship between the pelvic floor, deep core, breath, pelvic alignment, and surrounding muscle groups. This approach combines familiar strength movements with focused pelvic floor engagement, incorporating body-centered techniques and mindful movement cues to support connection throughout the pelvis and core. Breath, alignment, and internal awareness are woven into the movement to encourage greater coordination, control, and connection with the body.

What You’ll Learn

  • How pelvic alignment and a pelvic tuck connect with deep core and pelvic floor engagement
  • How to coordinate breath, pelvic floor engagement, and core activation during movement
  • How the pelvic floor works in connection with the inner thighs, glutes, hamstrings, and deeper core muscles
  • How to maintain pelvic and spinal alignment through progressive strength movements
  • How to recognize effort, adapt to challenge, and use positive self-talk during movement

Building Pelvic Floor Resilience

Pelvic floor and core resilience training brings together strength, coordination, breath, and body awareness through progressive movement. By integrating the pelvic floor with surrounding muscle groups and practicing consistent alignment, this approach creates an opportunity to explore strength and effort while developing greater awareness of how the body responds to challenges. Learning to engage, meet a challenge, and then release allows the body to experience both strength and recovery while cultivating greater awareness of nervous system adaptability.

Benefits Include:

  • Supports pelvic floor and deep core strength
  • Develops coordination between the pelvic floor, breath, and core
  • Builds strength and stability throughout the pelvis, hips, legs, and trunk
  • Encourages greater body awareness and connection through movement
