Liberate Your Pelvis 

May 22nd, from 1pm - 4pm 
​Dragonfly Yoga 
The Pelvic Floor Muscles (PFM) play an integral role in ‘core' strength and spinal stabilization, yet many of us (movement professionals included) overlook their importance. Without this essential component coordinating and functioning well, we do not have a solid foundation to build upon for strength training, mobility work, yoga postures, or breathing well for that matter!


And, sadly we’ve normalized pelvic DYSfunction so much so that many people mistakenly believe their pain or discomfort is an expected part of aging and/or birthing. And, this is simply not the case. Join Melissa and get clear on the FACTS about pelvic health and function so that you can take control of your own wellbeing.

​Each workshop is three hours and costs $75.
