Core Vitality & Pelvic Floor: Month, Years, or Decades Postpartum

With Ramona Peoples from Body Orchestra, in partnership with E14YogaCoach.

Many women carry tension, weakness, or quiet confusion about what's "normal" after birth.

Whether you gave birth months ago or decades ago, you may not actually know where your pelvic floor and what the warning signs are.

You may be worrying about running, lifting, or intimacy. Your bladder may not be emptying properly and leaving the house requires an "emergency pee".

This workshop addresses the core questions we hear again and again, plus the hidden connections, breath patterns, scars and posture that can still be affecting you years later.

• Pelvic floor function: tight vs. weak vs. uncoordinated - and why "just do your Kegels" isn't the whole story
• Core stability basics: why your back or hips might be taking over, how that contributes to discomfort, and how to rebalance
• The hidden impact of scars (abdominal, perineal) on pelvic floor, breathing and posture - even years after birth
• Safe guidelines for daily loads, lifting, running, trampolining
• Warning signs: incontinence, prolapse symptoms, the "emergency pee" - what to take seriously and when to seek help
• Self-assessment tools to know your own baseline without fear or shame
• Menopause considerations: how hormonal changes shift pelvic health
• Practical home techniques for mobilisation, activation and confidence

Any woman who has pelvic floor concerns, whether or not you have had children.

Mums who have issues months, years, or decades after birth.

If you've quietly been putting up with any of this, you're welcome.

This is a donation-based event. We suggest £10, which allows us to cover the venue and refreshments, pay our speakers properly for their time, and keep the Community Talks series running so we can continue offering this kind of education locally.

Please give what you can - no one will be turned away or made to feel uncomfortable for giving less, or for coming along without donating.

• Sunday 20th September, 2–4pm (please arrive from 1.50pm for a prompt 2pm start)
• Dockland Settlements No.2, Calders Wharf, Saunders Ness Road, E14 3PS — 2 minutes from Island Gardens DLR

A series of local talks and workshops bringing trusted specialists into the E14YogaCoach community to share practical information on subjects that matter to women and families.
