Summary

When most people think about a strong core, we usually picture six-pack muscles. While that's part of the story, there's much more to it. The deeper core muscles, like the transverse abdominis, multifidus, and the muscles of the pelvic floor—also known as the pelvic diaphragm—play a crucial role. In yoga, the pelvic floor is often an overlooked but essential part of the practice, referred to as 'mula bandha.' Other traditions call it pelvic floor training or pelvic diaphragm work. Today, we'll be exploring hypopressive training, a very accessible and effective methodology that trains the entire group of core muscles.

Listen and learn:

  • What the pelvic floor is and how to train it
  • A realistic outlook for correcting incontinence and prolapse
  • The time and training required to see results
  • The difference between isolation and full body core work

In any case, core strength really does matter. And when we use the term core strength, that can

refer to something like your rectus abdominis, your six-pack muscles, but in most cases it also refers to things

like your transverse abdominis, your multifitous muscles along the backside. And maybe even more

interesting, and this is what we'll delve into today, the muscles of your pelvic floor. These are
