Tight hips or pelvic discomfort? Your pelvic floor might be holding onto stress! 🧘♀️✨
Just like your shoulders or neck, your pelvic floor muscles can get tense and overworked. Here are 4 gentle exercises to help stretch and relax those deep core muscles:
1️⃣ Child’s Pose (Balasana): Wide knees, toes touching. Sink your hips back, breathe deeply into your belly, and let your lower abdomen release.
2️⃣ Happy Baby (Ananda Balasana): Lie on your back, hold the outside of your feet or ankles, and gently draw your knees toward your armpits. Focus on full, deep breaths.
3️⃣ Deep Squat (Malasana): Drop down into a squat, elbows inside your knees, chest open. Breathe into the space between your sitting bones.
4️⃣ Sphinx Pose (Salamba Bhujangasana): Lie on your stomach and position your elbows under your shoulders. Press your palms into the floor and push the top of your feet into the ground. Lift your chest up and out.
💡 Key Tip: The secret to a good pelvic floor stretch isn't force—it's deep, diaphragmatic breathing! Inhale to expand and stretch, exhale to relax.
