At the core of yoga practice, we often hear the teacher say in class that we should raise some basin muscles, or withdraw some pelvic floor muscles, or activate the pelvic floor muscles first…
Therefore, many Jia people, especially beginners, will ask, what is the pelvic floor muscles, the core of yoga practice, why we should activate the pelvic floor muscles, and how to activate the pelvic floor muscles…
So, Let’s answer them one by one today.
1、 What is pelvic floor muscle? The pelvic floor muscle is below our pelvis.
It connects the front pubis to the back coccyx and the ischial tubercle.
Like a hammock, it supports the organs in the pelvis such as uterus, bladder and intestine.
2、 Yoga core, why activate pelvic floor muscles? In fact, for those who have some knowledge of anatomy, the answer to this question is actually very simple, that is, because the pelvic floor muscle is a part of the core (often neglected).
It also assists and affects the functions of the lumbar spine, sacroiliac joint, bladder, urethra and uterus.
Therefore, the core of yoga practice must first activate the pelvic floor muscle (especially postpartum mothers, or people who are difficult to find the feeling of pelvic floor muscle), which can not only effectively improve the effect of core practice, but also help the female uterine reproductive system and urinary system.
As for the core of yoga, if the pelvic floor muscle is not activated, it is just like the leakage and discouragement at the bottom of the core bucket.
Even if the abdomen is strong again, it is difficult to improve the core strength in a real sense, and many movements are difficult to complete from the actual force.
