Hey Love! Are you a busy mom who is sick of letting the bathroom control your life but can't quite find the time to heal or do the work you know is necessary to stop leaking, heaviness or pain? I know the struggle! As a busy mom of 3 myself, it has taken me years of deep inner and outer work to create a sustainable lifestyle that feels doable and not overwhelming.  After having coached hundreds of women on how to prioritize themselves and create a plan that works for them and their life, I have heard one main excuse over and over (I was guilty of this too at one point). They don't have enough time… I get it.  It feels that way. But I promise we can find the time, even if it's sneaking in things during activities you are already doing! Anything is better than nothing.  Inside this week's episode I am giving you 10 ways you can squeeze in pelvic floor and core exercises on days when you can't make time for yourself.  This list will be a starting point to get you thinking about other ways you can start incorporating these concepts in your daily activities.  Feel free to also reach out if you are stuck wondering how to put this into practice in your life or if you are ready to take the jump and commit to a lifestyle change and want a more structured plan and not just micro workouts!

Prenatal yoga helps prepare the body for labor and delivery, and the benefits can include stress reduction, improved emotional well-being, and increased self-awareness. As in any health or exercise program pursued during pregnancy, it's important to listen to your body and consult with your doctor or health practitioner for guidance, before you begin.Guest-host Katie Baki is in her third trimester and guest Ali Owens is a mother of three. They are both teachers at Glo. Katie has a three-part class of prenatal yoga classes on the Glo platform.Katie and Ali discuss how pregnant yoga practitioners must adjust their practice to accommodate the changes in the body during pregnancy. Yoga props can help, providing support for the body and more room for the baby. Katie and Ali discuss the prevailing myths about yoga during pregnancy, focus on the importance of core work to foster stability (rather than strengthening), and how to use breath work and pelvic floor exercises to help with relaxation, stress reduction, and preparing for labor and delivery. They agree that one of the top benefits to practicing prenatal yoga is learning how to listen to the body and check in with what it needs.To wrap up the conversation, they discuss what prenatal yoga classes are available on the Glo platform.Key Takeaways for this Episode00:00 Meet Ali Owens 06:56 benefits of prenatal yoga 12:23 self-awareness and listening to your body 19:32 shifting perspectives and redefining “progress” 29:05 myths and modifications in prenatal yoga 36:01 core work and pelvic floor exercises 42:23 breath work and relaxation techniques 48:04 prenatal yoga programs on the Glo platformLinks:GLO classes:Katie Baki's Prenatal Power Yoga: 1st Trimester ProgramKatie Baki's Prenatal Power Yoga: 2nd Trimester ProgramKatie Baki's Prenatal Power Yoga: 3rd Trimester ProgramAli's Moving Into Motherhood: First Trimester ProgramAli's Moving Into Motherhood: Second Trimester ProgramAli's Moving Into Motherhood: Third Trimester ProgramWe have an expansive library of prenatal classes and programs on Glo.Katie's websiteKatie's InstagramAli's websiteAli's Instagram

In the latest episode of the Simply Fit Podcast I have the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Lance Frank. This whole conversation with Lance was really quite enlightening. I'd heard of kegels and the benefits of doing pelvic floor exercises but this conversation took my understanding to a whole new level. Especially considering most of the conversations we have about pelvic floor are traditionally focused on women… But did you know that the worldwide prevalence of erectile dysfunction is expected to increase to 322 million men by 2025. Yet, how many conversations are we hearing about this? Did you know that many of what you may believe are psychological challenges when it comes to performance could be improved or eradicated through something physical? If you're a male and you want to improve your sex life, listen to this whole episode and if you're a woman who would like to point your partner in this direction, keep listening and share the episode with him… In this episode you can expect to learn… What we've all been getting wrong about kegels and why stopping the flow of your urine or doing pelvic floor exercises at the traffic lights could be completely wrong for you. What type of results men can see if they start working on their pelvic floor health. Along with what tool Lance recommends that reports a 92% success rate of stronger erections. So without further ado, Dr. Lance Frank.

In this week's Minipod I'm reflecting on the many responses that I had to my Instagram reel about the "little bits of wee" that have started appearing from time to time after particularly violent sneezes and laughing fits. I discuss the reasons this starts to happen (it's not just to do with birth) and share some of your brilliant suggestions for keeping things in check.I also talk about Body Mass Index and how I was quite surprised about my "health weight" range. Later I get onto beauty and recommendations with a truly phenomenal beauty box (the best I've ever come across), an amazing Insta handle you have to follow if you want amazing Mediterranean recipe ideas, an SOS balm that everyone could do with having and two books (one inspiring and the other utterly trashy but non putdownable).Enjoy Outspoken Beauties xx

 If you have given birth to children in your life, no matter your age, you are postpartum.

Kay-gulls? Kee-gulls? How do you pronounce it, and are they the end-all-be-all solution to pelvic floor issues? Yeah, not so much. Kegels can help, for sure, but as Dr. Abby Dunning says in this snack, “there's a time and a place for them.”  So what can you do to get “better functional coordination” in the very complicated network that is the pelvic floor? Well, first, it's important to know what you're working with, says Abby. (NOTE: The best way to do this is work with a PT so you learn all the things correctly!) But one way to start is to pay attention to your breathing. Where is the expansion and contraction happening? The pelvic floor needs to move, not just grip and contract, which is why Kegels or vaginal trainers alone aren't really enough. Crunches don't really do all the things either, and doing a ton of them can actually be more of a problem than a solution.  To learn more about how the pelvic floor works and get some info on how you can correctly engage it in exercise, have a listen, then find a pelvic practitioner near you (see resources below!). And as always, share the wealth (of information) by rating, reviewing, and sharing The Whole Pineapple podcast! (thewholepineapple.com).

With a fertility expert and a pelvic floor expert in the same family, one can only imagine the discussions over the dinner table at family reunions…. But fortunately, in this episode, Ruby, Anne, and guest Dr. Abby Dunning are letting us have a little listen-in. And please do listen in, because this is a VERY important conversation for anyone with a pelvic floor. (Hint: that's ALL of us – even those who weren't born with a uterus.) Dr. Abby Dunning is a Doctor of Physical Therapy from Ruby's own home state of Montana. She received her bachelor's degree at Carroll College and her doctorate degree at the University of Montana. She specializes in treating pelvic pain conditions, pelvic organ prolapse, bowel and bladder dysfunction, orthopedic conditions of the pelvis, hip, and spine; as well as specific concerns unique to pregnant and/or postpartum individuals and the pediatric population.  The pelvic floor supports a whole lot of important organs and functions, and yet most of us really need to learn how to keep this part of the body strong and healthy. Of course pregnancy involves the pelvic floor, but it's also critical to waste retention and release, orgasm, core strength, posture, breathing, and more, so it's pretty important to know how to exercise it and treat it well. As with all complicated things, there are ways things can go pretty wrong: pelvic pain, incontinence, prolapse. That pain may be associated with penetrative intercourse, but it can also occur at other times or just exist as a lingering, consistent discomfort. And for many people, having pelvic exams is uncomfortable enough for so many reasons, including past physical or emotional trauma, so the idea of seeing a physical therapist for treatment seems impossible. Which is why it's important to find a PT you connect with and trust. Many people believe that pelvic floor issues are limited to people who have had multiple pregnancies, but that's just not true. Everyone can benefit from being in tune with that part of their body and checking with a PT for the right way to keep the pelvic floor healthy (hint: not just Kegels, and NOT CRUNCHES). Find out more about Dr. Dunning at Lone Peak Physical Therapy lonepeakpt.com - Dr. Abby Dunning and about our own Anne and Ruby at thewholepineapple.com.

Whether you're a young athlete, a new mom who has just given birth or a woman of retirement age, you want to learn right now how to keep your pelvic floor muscles functioning well or tune them up to prevent leakage, pain, prolapse and more.

When it comes to advising clients with prolapse about the do's and don'ts of exercise, for the FitPro, it can sometimes feel a bit awkward, can't it? Maybe someone somewhere has said to one of your POP clients "Don't lift your toddler", or "Using hand weights is an absolute no-no", or "Squats are best avoided" etc, and this advice sometimes makes you scratch your head, and even worse - it makes you question yourself as a pelvic floor specialist too, doesn't it? In this episode, Claire is sharing some past prolapse client case studies where these scenarios happened to her, and what strategies she applied to overcome them.

Michelle has a conversation with Stephanie Smith, E-RYT, PRYT regarding the benefits of yoga for pregnancy, birth, postpartum, and beyond in this special replay episode. Stephanie explains how yoga not only prepares the physical body for the stress and rigors of birth but the emotional body as well. She explains the connection between our breath and the reduction of the flight/flight stress response. Stephanie shares how her yoga practice helped her to set healthy boundaries with others during her pregnancy and keep a sense of ease and calm when her plans for her daughter's birth did not go as she had envisioned. Together, they discuss how yoga can prepare, protect, and enhance the healing of our pelvic floor during the childbearing year. She also shares the benefits of a Yoga Nidra practice, which is especially vital after the baby's birth as it invokes the relaxation response and turns on the parasympathetic nervous system—the rest and restore part of our nervous system.“That is what the beauty of that yoga practice is, that deeper connection within, where you can just feel the experience, there's no thinking at all that is required.”  — Stephanie SmithIf you enjoyed this interview,  and want to hear more from Stephanie please go to episode 86  and learn more about breath and meditation, please go to my series on Calm Birth episodes 76- 80. Stephanie's and my episode is number 86. Also, I am also so excited to share that the pelvic health specialist that I refer to in this episode as we discuss the connection between our voice and our pelvic floor is Susan Clinton. I was honored to have Susan as a guest on the podcast. Our episode is number 69 and it is a part of my series on pelvic floor health. If you haven't listened to this series, 68- 75 I highly encourage you to check out episodes.  This information is invaluable. So much of what we are told is a normal part of pregnancy and postpartum is not normal.  It is simply common and there is help for leaking urine, low back pain, painful sex, a weakened core, and a too tight or too weak pelvic floor.  Stephanie offers private virtual yoga classes, so please find her information here in the show notes to work with her no matter where you are listening to this podcast from in the world.  About Stephanie Smith, E-RYT, PRYT:Stephanie is an Orlando based Yoga Instructor specializing in Pre and Postnatal Yoga. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Sports and Exercise Science from the University of Central Florida and is an E-RYT, PRYT Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. Her love of Yoga and travel has taken her to Thailand numerous times where she has had the privilege of studying Yoga extensively at Centered Yoga. As a mother herself, Stephanie has an understanding of how the Yoga practice evolves both during pregnancy and postpartum. She strives to create an environment of support for fellow Mothers to know that they are not alone on the beautiful, yet sometimes rocky, journey that is Motherhood.  Connect with Stephanie Smith:  Instagram: @thetravelingyoginiFacebook: Stephanie Smith https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100003339931011 Connect with Michelle Smith:Virtual Classes or Sessions with Michelle: birtheaseservices.com/birth-ease-childbirth-education, birtheasehypnobirth.com/hypnobirthing-classes-orlando-michelleFacebook:   Birth Ease,   The Birth Ease Podcast,  Birth Ease Baby Loss SupportInstagram:    @birtheasemichellesmith,  @birtheaselossssupportYouTube:    Birth EaseLinkedIn:  Birth Ease Michelle SmithWebsite:  BirthEaseServices.com  birtheasehypnobirth.com

In her series on the pelvic floor, Michelle re-airs her fun and educational conversation with physical therapist, Susan Clinton, and Michelle discuss the profound connection between our pelvic floor and our voice. Susan explains how our pelvic floor functions, ways to become more aware of our pelvic floor muscles, and what a ‘kegel' exercise or pelvic floor lift is and isn't. (So many women are taught to do this exercise incorrectly.)  And, no, leaking urine is not just a normal part of pregnancy and birth! "A lot of mothers will come in and see me as a PT and say, "You know, I've been doing my pelvic floor exercises or kegels for a long time, and it's not helping." And sure enough they can actually lift their pelvic floor very nicely. But I notice that when they cough, that pelvic floor muscle isn't responding and coming up, or [if] they sneeze. You know, so it's not working when they need it. They can make it work, but what we want to do is make it work when we need it. We've got [to have] that pelvic floor coming up and reacting so that we don't leak [urine]."—Susan Clinton About Susan:Susan C.

In Emane's birth story, she talks about one of the key ways to prepare for birth. During her pregnancy, she prepares for delivery by aligning her body by seeing a physical floor therapist(PFT). She discusses the benefits of seeing a PFT, which helped her to have a positive birth experience in the hospital.

Life after the birth of baby is never really the same, & with good reason, as your focus is on the health & wellbeing of the little human you've created & have just brought into the world. Following the initial 6-8 week post birth period, many mums want to get & about with adapting their lives to a new normal. As part of this new normal, you have to adapt your lifestyle to the changes your body has undergone. One major change is to your pelvic floor, which is what we are here to discuss today. To do so, we speak with Taryn Watson, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist who has a Masters Degree in Women's Health Physiotherapy & the Owner & Founder of FitRight Physio.   We ask Taryn questions including: How is the pelvic floor affected by pregnancy? How is the pelvic floor affected by vaginal birth versus caesarean birth? Why should we start pelvic floor exercises before & during pregnancy? How do you know if you are doing pelvic floor exercise correctly? What makes women prone to pelvic floor dysfunction during pregnancy? Why should pelvic floor injuries be treated the same as sporting injuries? What can we do to prepare our pelvic floor muscles for delivery?   For Taryn's full article, please visit: https://kiddipedia.com.au/pelvic-floor-exercises-before-after-birth/   For further information please go to: https://fitright.physio/team/taryn-watson/ https://www.facebook.com/fitrightphysio/ https://www.instagram.com/fitrightphysio/ See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Pelvic floor is located between your Tail Bone, Sitz Bones, & Pubic Bone. It is essential that you are aware of being able to contract your pelvic floor without also contracting other areas (not tensing your jaw/tongue, not making fists, not squeezing your Backside or legs, etc...). We covered this emphasis in the prior episode called "Pelvic Floor Exercises". This practice may be performed while walking -but can just as successfully be practiced most anywhere that you can maintain safety and correct emphasis.
