Hi David,

I've been using your site for years and am now learning of the importance of the pelvic floor. How should I be activating my pelvic floor during regular yoga? Should I be keeping it engaged as much as possible?

I tried this out last night in a class and noticed a marked improvement in the number of muscles stretched and also noticed a better quality release of the muscles. I'd like to know if I should continue practicing in this manner.

Thanks!

Bryan

Hi Bryan, I am happy you found this work helpful, and as you noticed, bringing awareness to the pelvic floor can help during a regular practice. This is often called mula bandha, the root lock. It can be helpful in many poses, but may be tiring to keep engaged the entire time.
