In this second course, of a 3 part series, the online participant will continue to learn how to integrate low-tech, non-invasive techniques drawn from Yoga, Tai Chi, Qigong, and Feldenkrais with conventional rehab therapies to address pelvic floor dysfunction and guide clients toward improved health and function. Part B will begin by covering modifications of yoga poses to address soft tissue tightness, functional movement, and pelvic dysfunction.

Components of Feldenkrais Awareness Through Movement lessons to promote functional movement and address pelvic dysfunction will be demonstrated, as well as the pelvic clock exercise in sitting.
