In this class, we will learn about the muscles and structures that make up the pelvic floor for all genders. Participants will learn what the pelvic floor is, why it’s important, and how to support pelvic floor health.
During the second half of the class participants will move through strength and mobility exercises for the low back and hips. People of all gender identities are welcome.
