When I first “cracked the code” on stabilizing and reversing prolapse, and wrote and published Saving the Whole Woman, I set up this forum. While I had finally gotten my own severe uterine prolapse under control with the knowledge I had gained, I didn’t actually know if I could teach other women to do for themselves what I had done for my condition.
So I just started teaching women on this forum. Within weeks, the women started writing back, “It’s working! I can feel the difference!”
From that moment on, the forum became the hub of the Whole Woman Community. Unfortunately, spammers also discovered the forum, along with the thousands of women we had been helping. The level of spamming became so intolerable and time-consuming, we regretfully took the forum down.
Technology never sleeps, however, and we have better tools today for controlling spam than we did just a few years ago. So I am very excited and pleased to bring the forum back online.

Hi,

DVD to difficult
Hi, I am thinking that the bar exercises in the book are what you need.
It gives all the feet positions and such.

When things are tricky or i don't know them yet, i do them with the remote in my hand for the first few times. then i can stop, rewind, start over all i need. i can pause it, and work it out, then try again. it means that i had to build up to a workout that didn't stop, but that's okay. i get there. i also use that if there is a stretch i want to hold...just go at your pace, and before you know it you'll get it!

I know it's hard :(
I had to reach a broad spectrum of women with something fun and challenging for all. The beginning program is something most everyone can do - even if it takes a while to memorize the moves/music.
I love the WW Workout - which is a basic barre program that does structure the body in a very systematic way. We will be working on that, among other things, in the Village Whole Woman Center. We cannot film in the actual WW Center, because it's a huge project to light, so are having a wooden floor built in our smaller Bridgeworks studio. We'll be ready to go in just a few weeks.
An actual ballet class would be great - if based in WW posture.

DVD Exercises Tip
Hi all!
When I first began doing the exercises, I too found it a bit of a challenge.
With time, and care, I now feel good for doing the exercises, in fact it is an important part of my daily life.
Helpful for me was, to check out the 'Bonus: Dictionary of Movements', found at the end of the DVD. Watch carefully and then try to repeat until you have it. It may not happen the first time, but eventually it will happen.
Thank you Christine, for creating these wonderful exercises, and thank you Nikelle, for your beautiful music.

Slowing it down
MaryEve,
I have no prior knowledge of ballet either. It's all new to me. When I first started out, it was really baffling and it took me a while to understand exactly what was going on. When I felt like I needed to do a certain exercise or stretch again, I'd just back it up and replay it. There are a couple of places where I can't do an exercise as long as they do it on the DVD, so I use that extra minute or so to stretch, and then start in again when I feel like I can.
Also, I can't do more than just the beginning and the cool down. Sometimes I do some firebreathing in there too though. I'm still in too much pain to do more than that. I'm just taking it as I can, and it's two steps forward and one step back.

2 left feet and can't read maps the right way up
I too have difficulty keeping up with the steps. So I am trying to break it down into small achieveable steps. Sighhh!
