Pelvic Floor Recovery (after having a baby)

I had such a great chat with B from Core and Floor last week that I've decided to share the whole thing here in the blog.  This interview was part of our Yoga of Birth training ongoing live calls.  To learn more about birth preparation and pregnancy yoga CLICK HERE.

Here’s what we covered in our chat: 

• Cervical wellness and the role of connective tissue in pelvic floor health. 
• The idea of a ‘birth map’ rather than a ‘birth plan’.  
• Kegal excercises – why when and how you do them is critical in how effective they are (clue: it’s all about mindful awareness).  
• Pelvic floor balance of length and strength.  
• The role of your intuition in the journey to motherhood.  
• The differences between the role of the doula, an obstetric nurse and a midwife and best practices for each.

Here is the specific Instagram video (emotional preparation for birth) that B mentions in the call:
