Engaging the Pelvic Diaphragm and Perineal Body for Abdominal Support

A clue for me in the 1960s, when I was working with dancers in New York, is that the more professional and skilled the dancers were, the more urogenital problems were emerging from all this tightening of the belly, rather than engaging the pelvic diaphragm for support. Now I see it with people who practice yoga.
Explore along with Bonnie how your pelvic diaphragm and perineal body and how they support the abdomen in this short video.
This clip is from Bonnie's online course on Embodied Anatomy and the Dynamics of Breathing.
The full course is available at bonniebainbrid....
This course presents unique and effective Body-Mind Centering® principles for working with the breath. Your state of being is manifested through your breathing. Bringing kinesthetic awareness to the structures of your breathing allows you to better embody, articulate and balance them. This process opens pathways of expression between your unconscious and conscious mind and between yourself and others.
Material covers:
• Gaining awareness of your own breathing and
facilitating repatterning in others
• Releasing holding patterns in the lobes of your lungs
• Engaging your pelvic, thoracic, vocal, oral and cranial diaphragms
and other structures
• Journeying through somatizations of the diaphragms
• Exploring diaphragmatic, cellular and embryonic breathing
• Remembering your embryological development as it relates to
breathing
• Recognizing the psychophysical aspects of breathing
and vocalization
These principles can be applied to any discipline that makes use of breath, voice and body: yoga, dance, bodywork, body-psychotherapy and other somatic movement practices.
The Body-Mind Centering® approach to Embodied Anatomy is a deep, internal study of the body in which movement and consciousness are explored through the direct experience of our own body systems, tissues and cells. The principles of Embodied Anatomy can be applied to any type of movement, bodywork, therapy or other body-mind discipline.
