How to Really Help the Pelvic Floor: What Every Woman in Pilates Needs to Know
Description
Whether you're a Pilates teacher or a woman attending class each week, this episode is your essential guide to supporting pelvic floor health the right way.
Claire Sparrow unpacks the five foundational concepts of the Whole Body Pelvic Health Method—mindset, breath, release, range of movement, and coordination—and explains how they transform the way we approach Pilates. These aren’t just ideas for better movement; they’re a new lens through which to understand and truly support your body.
You’ll learn:
Why “just squeeze” is outdated advice—and what to do instead
The power of breath coordination and why it’s more than just inhale/exhale
What’s really behind “tight hamstrings” and how release creates healing
How joint movement and posture affect your pelvic floor
Why strength comes last, after restoring balance and responsiveness
This episode is for every woman who wants to get more out of her practice—and for every teacher who wants to safely and confidently support the women they serve.
Pilates is already powerful—this is how you make it pelvic floor smart.
