Beginning of pressure

Body: 

I do notice from time to time more 'pressure' , in particular after an excellent new yoga class I just started- now worried I'm 'hurting ' myself- do u have corrections in the yoga DVD s so we can make adjustments in classes?

Hi Spiderweber - if your new yoga class is making your prolapse worse, it's because traditional yoga was designed by and for men, and until Christine came along, no one was pointing out how bad some of those moves were for female pelvic organ support. You might want to do some reading around this website, forum, blog and resources page. There you will find a great video called "The WW Approach to Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Urinary Incontinence" that will get you started on the concepts. When you have thoroughly learned and adopted this natural posture, then you can make corrections or move on to something that doesn't set you back, like this class. Christine has a whole line of prolapse-friendly yoga. First you must understand and fix posture. If you tend to hold in your belly, you need to get started on this. - Surviving

Yes, I have read lots around this site , and felt saddened by the fact that I would have to give the class up. Am definiatly thinking about the posture and trying to incorporate what I could from what I read. I was hoping w corrections I could do class w the posture in mind, but didn't know which DVDs would be the most helpful - sounds like all of them...

You don't necessarily have to give up the class, Spiderweber, but we cannot hand you a cheat sheet for substituting moves. You have to learn this posture and apply it to everything, there is no shortcut for that, each of us has to do the work. When you have incorporated correct posture into your life, you can modify pretty much anything. Meanwhile you do need to avoid certain bad moves and body angles. Read the book and study Christine's work. - Surviving

Will do! Feeling actually a little better just w what I've read on line . Hoping to nip it in the bud so to speak and not go further down that path
