Here’s something we wish more people knew about their pelvic floor…

Stronger doesn’t always mean tighter.

Your pelvic floor needs to be able to contract, respond, lengthen, and release.

Just like any other muscle group, it’s not designed to stay switched on all day.

Think about how your breath moves through your body, how your pelvis responds when you walk, or what happens when you brace to lift something.

It’s all connected!

During our upcoming workshop, we’ll explore:

🌿 How your pelvic floor works with your breath

🌿 The difference between activation and gripping

🌿 Why learning to release matters just as much as learning to strengthen

🌿 How to bring that awareness into everyday movement

Exploring the Pelvis: From Awareness to Connection

Sunday, November 1 | 1:30–4 PM

$55 per person | Aligned Movement Studios

Come discover a different way of understanding your body.

Your pelvic floor does more than you might think.

We hear a lot about strengthening the pelvic floor. But what about learning to feel it? Understanding how it moves? Or knowing when to let it go?

Your pelvic floor is part of a beautifully connected system that responds to your breath, movement, posture, and even your nervous system.

And sometimes, building a better connection isn’t about working harder. It’s about becoming more aware.

✨ Join Rachel Bood and Stephanie Grozell for Exploring the Pelvis: From Awareness to Connection.

An experiential workshop where we’ll get curious, explore movement, and discover what connection really feels like.

At Aligned Movement Studios, we’re not here to chase perfection.
We’re here to celebrate consistency, self-trust, and movement that feels good in your body.
Because progress isn’t always about doing more, pushing harder, or reaching the next level.
Sometimes progress is knowing when to slow down, choosing the modification that supports you, or simply showing up for yourself.
Every movement matters. Every small step counts. And every version of you belongs here.

What does it really mean to connect with your pelvic floor? How do you know when to strengthen, engage, or let go?

Join Rachel Bood, STOTT Pilates and GYROKINESIS® Instructor, Core Confidence Specialist, TRE® Provider, and Owner of Aligned Movement Studios, alongside Stephanie Grozell, Registered Acupuncturist, Pilates Instructor, and Women’s Health Educator, for an experiential workshop exploring the pelvis and pelvic floor through movement, breath, and somatic awareness.

Through education, accessible movement, guided exploration, and a TRE®-inspired experience, we’ll explore how the pelvis supports the body, how to recognize pelvic floor activation and release, and how breath and movement can deepen our awareness and connection.

Rather than focusing on strengthening alone, we’ll explore the balance between strength and softness, activation and release, and how the pelvic floor works in relationship with the rest of the body.

Whether you’re looking to deepen your movement practice, better understand your pelvic floor, or simply feel more connected to your body, this workshop offers a supportive space to slow down, get curious, and explore.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of your pelvis, greater pelvic floor awareness, and simple practices to carry into everyday life.
