I deeply want women to start thinking of pelvic floor health in a global setting, not just regarding the muscles inside the sitz bones. Health of the pelvic floor involves so much more than just toning one specific set of muscles.
When we think “pelvic floor health,” it’s easy to imagine that more squeezing = more strength = better outcomes.
But here’s the problem: if the pelvic floor is too tight, it becomes less mobile.
And mobility is what creates space—for breath, for movement, and yes, for baby during labor.
Instead of asking, “How strong is my pelvic floor?” try asking, “How balanced is it? Can it release as well as it engages?”
That balance is the real preparation for birth.
🧘♀️ Learn how to practice this balance at my free workshop, Nov 13.
Or grab the set of on-demand videos in the Pelvic Floor Health course (Look on the Postnatal Yoga page at www.ombirths.com/postnatal).
Yoga Teachers, want to know how to actually teach in a way that promotes lifelong pelvic health and well-being for your female students (and the male ones and non-binary ones too in fact) Check out the free training or get on the waitlist for the upcoming Om Births Prenatal Yoga Teacher Training 2026 cohort (Link in Bio).
