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.

Yoga and cystocele
Annma,
As with any form of physical activity, you simply have to be aware of what is helpful or harmful to your condition. If you haven't already, read Christine's book and definitely search through the forum for threads on yoga - there have been a few discussions on that topic. I too have cystocele and have practiced yoga (kundalini) sporadically for several years. There are a few guidelines I keep in mind: no backward bending, no leg lifts lying on the back (I find most abs work - crunches etc. too stressful), avoid having the body at obtuse angles. Otherwise, use common sense - if there are particular postures or exercises that are uncomfortable, painful, or that seem to worsen your prolapse, it's probably best to avoid them. If you have a good rapport, discuss your condition w/your instructor - he or she might be able to suggest alternate or modified exercises.
Whole Woman posture and fire breathing are definitely helpful.
I hope this was helpful, and not too preachy (-:

Fire Breathing
Whole Woman Fire Breathing is a breathing technique (based on yogic breathing) combined with a movement that is designed to help "pull up" prolapsed organs. Christine developed it and describes it in the 2nd edition of her book.
