Please read all about it (HERE), and pass it on!

Will do. Great article.

Thank you Christine that was very interesting. Can that be done successfully just sitting on the floor with legs straight out in front as I can't sit like you show on your video.

Daphne, if I'm not mistaken, this is a clip from First Aid for Prolapse, which demonstrates this move in a number of different positions. - Surviving

Daphne, remember you can do it in several different positions. Have a look at the sidebar or at the beginning of the video for these options. You do need quite flexible hamstring muscles to put your feet straight out the front. You will notice in Esther Gokhale's materials, and maybe some of Christine's, primitive woman sitting like this. They tend to have their ankles crossed. Not sure why, but it seems to be easier to keep your pelvis erect, for some reason.

And remember folks that it isn't just the tilts that make this a "new kegel". The breathing sequence is absolutely essential. This is basically mini-firebreathing.

Thank you for making this very important point, Surviving!

Thank you, dear Soul Sista! If everyone reading this could do the same it would be very much appreciated!

I like the way you explained the "New Kegels" and Suviving 60's reminder that it is all in the breathing. So worth passing on......

Christine, whether this should be called the 'Kent maneuver' rather than the 'new Kegels' and when we want to talk about the pelvic floor whether we could refer to the pelvic diaphragm instead?

I like this...the Kent Maneuver!

Yes, I like it too. We don't do Kegels, we do Kents. - Surviving

Loved the video. I have watched it a couple times, to make sure I get the movements right. I am 13 weeks pregnant, and it also does wonders for loosening up my lower back, which is greatly appreciated!
