Hip and Pelvic Floor Release Stretches With Yoga Blocks (20 Minutes)

Yoga blocks are for EVERYONE! Using yoga blocks does not make you "weak;" in fact, you'll get a much better stretch when you stabilize yourself with props (such as blocks). Yoga blocks are easy to find in stores and online. Here's an example: amzn.to/2LharB2

Yoga blocks are my favorite prop! I use them for both stretching and strengthening exercises. If you don't have a set, you can easily find them online... they're inexpensive and you'll be so glad you have a pair! Enjoy this pelvic floor stretching routine 💖

[@luannalovell]

hi im hoping you will see my question and be able to reply. I have a herniated lumbar disc but also a rectocele, how should I go about improving them without causing more damage? many thanks :)

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

That’s a great question. Unfortunately, we do not provide medical advice. Your local pelvic floor PT would be the best resource to help you determine an individualized movement routine that fits your needs. ~Vibrant Support

[@luannalovell]

@@vibrantpelvichealth thanks

[@garimashrivastava13]

Hi Urine void( not emptying bladder fully) can also cure by this exercise...I m diagnosed with pelvic floor syndrome

[@jackieburns5257]

Ani levator pain can come after increasing weights doing deaflifts. Does this mean you should strengthen the pelvic floor?

[@mr.beavis2202]

This will definitely help me with my golf ⛳️ game. I just did this stretch after completing 18 holes. Very Relaxing and should increase my flexibility in my swing.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Great to hear!

[@dragamarijanovski8755]

Amazing video but me as sanguinic, I put speed 2x

[@naturelover1284]

thanks, teachers do not show you and expect you to figure it all out as a new person an there is no time then yoga is just stress to upper neck and shoulders

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

You're absolutely right. Many people find it challenging to learn the nuances of yoga, especially when it comes to pelvic floor engagement and relaxation. It's essential to have proper guidance and support, especially as a beginner, to avoid added stress or strain in other parts of the body. If you're experiencing specific difficulties or discomfort in your practice, consider seeking guidance from an experienced yoga instructor or even a pelvic floor specialist who can provide tailored instructions and exercises to ensure a safe and effective practice.

[@Uff1234]

I had my hysterectomy 1year can I do this exercise?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Please talk to your healthcare provider to determine which exercises are the best for your needs. ~Vibrant Support

[@investigate711]

swear it’s such a shame how a person would make up any excuse to NOT get a block instead of just starving off a meal or two’s worth to maximize your health

[@LareinaP]

Love this, using this video I just enjoyed a gorgeous supported and safe stretch session. ❤🎉 thanks

[@jeanttoo21]

Much Much tank You 🥰Nice workshop ,,,i love those explication Nice works💟🤗🌈

[@tazlove2053]

Dear Dr. Bri, You have made yet another beautiful and helpful video! I just got yoga blocks a couple weeks ago and they are amazing! They feel better to sit on stacked then any chair! Allows me to sit ergonomically instead of like hunched in a chair. When I sit on chairs or couches i feel like they really undermine my body's desired posture, I feel like it strains my pelvic floor and causes my drifted/prolapsed bladder to be more irritated. Yoga blocks are a miracle, looking forward to having more of them in my life, Qi Qi my 2 year old likes to grab them and play with them and notices when I use them, soon he will be a pelvic floor master mover too lol ** r Today was a hard day for me and I have been stress eating, and holding in grief. To be honest, I am struggling with strained relations with my kids, doing so much stuff alone, and my 10 year old took off from the house today when he was supposed to do homeschool with me and help with chores. That has been a hard blow for me, yesterday I got so busy I didn't get to do my lift exercises or any pelvic floor relaxing or strengthening videos like I wanted to (but I am glad to say I was able to do a few moves here and there that I have learned from you without video, but its still not always the same as doing a full relaxing session with you) My son has needed extra support by way of counselor a long time and still not gotten access to it yet. but all this wears on me, and your video really relaxed me. Yesterday would have been my 3rd day in a row doing lift program so going to go at it today. *** )and relax and fully experience the benefits! Made me realize that some of my issues like my knee have held me back from getting the most out of poses, excited to use what I learn today from this video with theyoga blocks anytime I need to get extra support to my knee in an unexpected way (using yoga blocks for knee support gave more relief and pain elimination than putting a blanket under my knee for some reason) *** One last question: I noticed my shoulders and neck strainin and wrists when I was holding stretches with the blocks, I was wondering what muscles I should be engaging to hold poses because it feels like maybe I am not using the right muscles

[@steveguilbeault2263]

Is this a good routine to help with chronic CPPS? Thank you

[@ashokpatanjalikumar]

[@kristeneichholzer3761]

Your routines have helped me so much. Thank you ♥️

What size blocks are these please and what material are they made of? Also the brand. Thank you.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

9"x6"x3". EVA foam :) Any brand works

[@maldo007]

With my luck the blocks will tip to the side.

This felt amazing ❤

Very creative! Got some great openings here, which were much needed. Will definitely re-visit these :-) Thank you

Hello, your classes are awesome so glad I found you love your variety of classes. Also, do you have any videos on eating clean?

Yes, feel free to explore my channel :)

[@medicineandbrazilianjiujit8511]

Thanks, Dr. Bri! Great stuff.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

I'm glad you liked it!

[@naturelover1284]

so, our pelvis should always be relaxed?

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

The pelvic floor muscles should maintain a balance of tone, neither too tense nor too relaxed, for proper function. Chronic tension or relaxation can lead to various issues, so it's crucial to have the ability to engage and relax these muscles as needed. Pelvic floor exercises can help achieve this balance, but they should be done correctly and under professional guidance. Consulting a healthcare provider or pelvic floor specialist is essential for tailored guidance if you're experiencing pelvic floor issues. ~ Vibrant Support

[@gunasekaran5662]

How much days doing this process will cure frequently urination

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Pelvic floor tension can absolutely contribute to frequent urination. I suggest seeing a pelvic floor physical therapist for an evaluation to see if pelvic tension is a concern for you! If it is, then my pelvic pain and tension videos will help. Everyone is different in how long it takes to experience relief.

[@gunasekaran5662]

Am suffering from this problem last 7 years I saw several hospital, taken more medicine but no more improment and no infection I think this is my pelvic floor is weakness I trying last 1 month pelvic floor excersise

[@crafther9429]

​@@gunasekaran5662 how has it helped?

[@Cheerstothewildones]

Can you do one with no equipment? :)

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Sure, if you have the flexibility to be able to relax into the poses, you can definitely do this routine without props! You can also experiment with household items such as stacks of books (as long as they're stable and sturdy).

[@Karinkugel]

You are the best❤️

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

Awww!

[@brusselsprout5851]

Thank you.

[@festuswilliams9428]

Hi, how are you doing?

[@Cooked-By-Iman]

Hi Dr Bri, could you please make your next video on hard flaccid, Also I have just been to my pelvic floor physical therapist and she said I have a lot of tone in my adductors pelvic floor and abdomen. Do you think that is causing hard flaccid.

[@vibrantpelvichealth]

YES, this excess tension in your adductors, pelvic floor, and abdomen could be contributing to HF. We plan to release a video on HF soon (within the next month or two), but for now please explore my pelvic pain/tension playlist and/or my men's health playlist!

[@tazlove2053]

@@vibrantpelvichealth What does hard flaccid mean? Is that when you are so tense and tight that you muscles are fatigued and weak?

[@rulaabiantun1485]

That was great, thank you Dr Bri, please could you do a video to strengthen shoulders ( rounded shoulders) with some light weights when you get a chance, thank you so much .
