Like A Natural Woman - 11 - Stand and Sit From the Floor

Putting it to the test - feeling the floor in the real world

Based on “Dynamic Sitting with Front and Back of the Pelvic Floor ” as taught by Deborah Bowes, GCFT® in “Pelvic Floor Health and Awareness”

Super girl demonstrates how to avoid pelvic prolapse, a very scary condition.  

Bring the whole series into reality. The test is on. Can you sit and stand and sit again with full pelvic floor engagement?

We build up gradually, from the familiar sit bone rocking front and back, coordinated with the breath, to bringing increased pelvic floor awareness. As the movement amps up, we bring in all the elements covered in this series: the lower abs, low back, upper back, thoracic spine, cervical spine and sternum, feet, inner thighs, feet, knees, and rhythm.

It all comes together in the fundamental action of standing. And sitting. To do so, we will be chair sitting. So get your favorite flat bottom, stable, chair and get ready to stand from the pelvic floor. Strengthening also happens.

And, just to drive it home, we do a slight detour into the world of the pelvic prolapse, a condition we are working right now to avoid.

And, finally, the Queen of Soul, who we have been waiting for, delivers the theme song as we embrace our Natural Woman.
