The female pelvis and the pelvic muscles are an under appreciated region of the anatomy. Important not
only for sexuality, the pelvic muscles are crucial for optimal functioning of the body. The pelvic muscles
begin at perineum and are complex arrangement of muscles that hold all of the lower organs. Heredity,
life-style, and child birth all have an effect on the perineum and the pelvic floor muscles.
Common problems that are related to the health of the pelvis are lumbar spinal problems, sacroiliac, hip or
sciatic pain, bladder weakness, and digestive, menstrual and sexual difficulties. This area can be too
gripped, or too weak or both. You will learn how to distinguish the three layers of the pelvic floor and how
to soften and strengthen these areas.
This workshop will begin with descriptions, drawings, hand-outs, and identification of the pelvic floor
muscles. What follows is a series of specific exercises for self-discovery, and then specific poses and
exercises to increase the flexibility, strength, and coordination of each of the pelvic functions.
Leslie Howard teaches yoga at her own studio in Modesto, Flying Zebra Yoga and in San Francisco. She has
been studying the pelvic floor work under Ramanand Patel and Susanne Kemmerer for the past two years.
For the last seven years she has been studying with Ramanand and Manouso Manos. In 1999 she completed
a one year teacher training with Tony Briggs. In 1998, 1999 she completed two years of Advanced Studies
with Rodney Yee. Leslie has been practicing for over twelve years, teaching for ten. She leads workshops
in San Francisco, New York, and the Central Valley of California and has led yoga trips to Egypt, Hawaii,
Italy and Mexico.
Cancellations before September 13 will be refunded less a $15 administration fee. No refunds for
cancellations on/after September 14.
