Are you ready to reconnect with your pelvic floor and enhance your overall well-being?
This transformative workshop integrates pelvic education, pelvis mapping, anatomy insights, gentle yoga poses, restorative movement, breathwork, and meditation to help support and strengthen your pelvic floor.
Why Focus on the Pelvic Floor?
In modern society, a lack of awareness and stigma surrounding the pelvis often leaves women disconnected from their authentic selves and creative power. This workshop fosters the reclamation of chakras one through three, associated with the pelvis and core. These energy centers are vital to personal strength, self-expression, and the ability to vocalize needs.
Many people know what it feels like to swing their arms or curl their fingers, but rarely do people say that they know what their pelvic floor movements feels like. The pelvic floor is an ignored part of the body that plays such a huge role in your overall health. Tension and or weakness in your pelvis wreaks havoc on your entire body and nervous systems. There are so many life-altering symptoms and conditions that most women don’t even realize result from pelvic floor dysfunction. The pelvic floor is not shown the attention women require to live full, vibrant, happy, and healthy lives.
The creator of this workshop, Madison Baer, had suffered from pelvic floor dysfunction her entire life that presented as chronic constipation, bladder frequency, low back pain, and pain with penetration, but never knew that it was due to her hypertonic and weak pelvic floor muscles. She saw many different types of doctors but no one ever suggested addressing the pelvic floor. It was not until she was diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse five months postpartum and she went to see a pelvic floor physical therapist that she discovered the true cause of her pain. There is a wide gap in women’s health that needs to be bridged. Madison is now passionate about leading women back to this vital part of themselves, which is the key to many of their issues.
Why Attend the Workshop?
This workshop goes beyond yoga poses; it’s a holistic approach to understanding and healing your pelvic floor. It helps you:
- Reconnect with this vital part of your body.
- Practice intentional relaxation and release.
- Address physical and emotional tension stored in the pelvis.
- Learn to tune into your pelvic floor for better health and well-being.

I have taken yoga classes from multiples instructors and Madison’s teaching style is exceptionally calming and encouraging. She is very helpful to step through poses, showing the “correct” form. I’ve been able to correct my form on several poses which always felt a bit “off” for me. Now I know why….I wasn’t using proper technique! Thanks, Madison!

Madison has helped me tremendously through her private yoga instruction. As an athlete, I have had many injuries in the past, and she has been instrumental in helping me improve my flexibility and mobility. As a doctor, I fully endorse her and her skills as an instructor. Not only does she know her material She has a wonderful gift in the way she teaches and empowers her students each and every session. I highly recommend her to people of all abilities, from beginner to advanced.

I have felt a sense of emotional healing since attending your blue moon yoga session and I would love to take classes with you regularly. You’re great at what you do. And from the depth of my being, thank you for what you do. The universe always delivers what’s necessary with impeccable timing, and I’m grateful I was able to re-introduce yoga into my life with that session.
