Yoga for Prolapse

Body: 

I want to begin by thanking Christine for everything she has done for all of us. I got stage two cystocele at age 72. I have read the book, and have been doing the exercise almost everyday since the end of June, as well as the fire breathing and, of course, the posture. In spite of my age, it has been so easy for me to stick with the program. Of course, I still have the cystocele, but I don't feel it as much. I know everything has helped. My question is, should I also be doing Christine's Yoga tape, as well. I am not very flexible, and really haven't done well (or enjoyed) the Yoga classes I tried in the past. I feel as though I should be doing more than just the DVD exercises, etc. I have always been a person who has belonged to a gym since I was 25 years old. Will the Yoga tape also help with the Cystocele and stabilization of the prolapse.

Hi Jerseygal,

The WWYoga class I hold in the early mornings consists of the beginning floor program on the First Aid for Prolapse dvd (pelvic rocks, circles, etc) and the program from WWY - first wheel. We begin on the floor and then move to standing.

It is impossible for me to know, of course, but I think if you are reasonably flexible, you would benefit from the newest exercises, which are in the WWY dvd. In any case I would say, "Of course you should support Whole Woman and buy the yoga dvd!" :)

I just watched our upcoming WWY2 dvd (at least what we've put together so far) for the first time today and was in tears! It focuses on the "2nd chakra", which involves the pelvis and sexuality. We have been given astonishing interviews, which together tell an amazing story that really belongs at a film festival. My daughter performed the workout (on the beautiful California coast) and this dvd will be our best offering yet for the post-partum woman.
Anyway...I'm excited and just wanted to share. It should be ready in 2 weeks or so.

Thank you so much, Jerseygal! We depend upon the encouragement of woman to woman.

Hugs!

Christine

Christine,
Thanks for such a quick reply. I will wait for the new Yoga DVD. Please let us all know exactly when we can purchase it. I have given your website to many friends - gals that I never even knew were also experiencing prolapse. My cousin in Florida (who had a hysterectomy a few years ago, and also had her bladder sewn) told me that she believes her bladder has dropped and now also has a rectocele). She is anxious to get the WW plan started, and has immediately swiched to the posture. Thanks again. You are the angel for all of us.
