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.

Whether you’re an old friend or a new acquaintance, welcome! The Whole Woman forum is a place where you can make a difference in your own life and the lives of thousands of women around the world!

Hey, mag, I don't know the
Hey, mag,
I don't know the proper yoga pose names in english, but I did Bikram yoga in the first year afterI discovered my POP. I modified poses which included pelvic tilts, and I never did anything that did not feel good.
You absolutely can go to a class, but you'd better tell the teacher what is going on with you. Stand in the back row and modify or skip poses.
I'll be honest, after 2 years I am braver now, I do things I'd never done 2 years ago. Sometimes I overdo it, but now I am confident. Few days of rest and I am back to baseline.
Good luck with this experience, listen to your body.
Almost forgot: have a look at Christine's article "A new yoga for women", in the Village Post.

Go for it
Hi Mag
I agree wholeheartedly with Liv. Go for it. You will know if you are doing something wrong because you will feel the pressure somewhere near or in your vulva. You might need to tune in to this, but eventually you will recognise it, and be able to test any movement for 'pressure' before you launch fully into it.
Do all testing very slowly. It is when we are hurrying that we tend to overshoot the safe position and get into POP-dangerous territory.
You will be able to leave your fear behind eventually. That is real freedom. It is 'living well with prolapse' , trusting yourself and your movements again!
Hey, even little children, and big weightlifting strongmen have a point past which they do not go. We learn this the first time we fall off our bike, and keep learning it in all aspects of life right the way through to our death.
