This lesson is all about connecting our breath and pelvic floor via your respiratory diaphragm, the primary breathing muscle. I'll show you some tricks to help feel a pelvic floor squeeze more effectively, and teach you why breathing is so important!

Key Takeaways

  • Your pelvic floor is connected with your respiratory diaphragm.

  • Practice squeezing with an exhale, then squeezing with an inhale. Start with whichever is more natural for you.

  • It's important to be able to squeeze with an exhale — coughing and sneezing are big exhales!

  • Squeeze before you sneeze!
