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.

Hello Dear angelica
So many of us wish there was such a book (maybe a topic for Christine when she is longing for yet another challenge!). Yes, you will have to research and you will have to take note yourself what works and what doesn't. Have you been practicing the WW posture for a while now? That is the basis for all that we do. You do not want to put yourself in the boat pose or any position that is obtuse, because of the pressure and strain on the pelvic area. You do not want to pull in the tummy or tuck the tailbone (which was ever so present in the years of yoga study that I did). If you have an enlightened teacher, or you yourself are a teacher, then you could actually come up with a program that would be healthy for women (and that is all women, what is good for those of us with prolapse, will be good for all women). The problem with most yoga is that it was developed by men for men. I think that if you avoid all obtuse angles (and you will get some of this information from Christine's book---do you have it?) and you avoid that corset concept of pulling in the tummy area, then you should be okay with many postures. I look forward to hearing what the others say here. Christine actually has four DVDs now (the Prolapse, First Wheel, Second and Third) and there are a lot of yoga-based postures and movements in all of them. Best wishes to you!

Angelica - I think this
Angelica - I think this depends on where you are with WW posture. If you are really expert on the posture and you understand the concepts, you are qualified to figure out which moves are good and which aren't. This comes with time, reading and studying Christine's work, and understanding your symptoms. You should already know about the obtuse angle issue that Ms. N. has mentioned. If you can't keep lumbar curvature in place, then the move is probably not good. The work that Christine has done to come up with safe yoga poses was meant to address these issues, especially for those still working on adopting posture. - surviving
