  Topic: Removing Barriers to Physical Fitness: Pelvic Floor Health-- Navigating Incontinence with Confidence!

  Do you struggle to find ways to support clients with leakage? Are you unsure of how to make them feel more comfortable in classes when they have pelvic floor issues? Do you want to know more about what to do to make fitness accessible for people with urinary incontinence? 

  Learn about the anatomy of the pelvic floor, and how it functions to better understand causes of incontinence. We will discuss some interesting statistics and dispel some common myths. Through discussion and collaboration, we will identify what exercises might work better, and some that may be more challenging and need modifications. Finally, we will chat about other options to help people feel more confident with exercise when they can't completely trust their bladder just yet. 
  

  This is an issue more common then you may think! Nearly 50% of women and 30% of men will have incontinence issues in their lifetime, many under the age of 50!

  Mind + Body Leadership (MBL)

  Learn to teach fitness-level Yoga and Meditation classes.

  

  Mind & Body Leadership is a group fitness certification that is based in yoga and incorporates other exercise formats that are calming & non-competitive.   

  Students will learn fundamentals of a yoga-fitness class format with focus on teaching alignment, core work, pelvic floor health, balance, stretching, breathing, vocalizations, and meditation/visualization. This course is primarily about yoga, but students who certify in MBL are allowed to incorporate elements from other slow physical activity methods such as Pilates, tai chi, qi gong, ballet & other dance forms, (if they have additional training). Certified MBLs can also, with additional training & exams, incorporate portable equipment such as yoga props, foam rollers, and dance or martial arts props, in their classes.  Students will also learn skills needed for teaching any fitness class such as lesson planning, cueing, giving corrections, safety, and proper use of music.

  This certification (and the related insurance) excludes any version of hot yoga or any inversion asanas.

  All participants must also complete Exercise Theory and have a current 1st Aid & CPR certification before the MBL certificate will be issued.

  Location/Date/Time:

  Please note: this course will be delivered via a blend of live video stream & in-person sessions.
