I was apprehensive about this course. I enrolled in a pelvic floor workshop before taking this course. That workshop was geared towards training the participants on strengthening their pelvic floors. I was diagnosed with a hypertonic pelvic floor and my PT suggested I first work on training my pelvic floor to relax before strengthening. Leslie did a fantastic job addressing both hypertonic and hypotonic pelvic floors. She gave detailed analysis on the anatomy and various poses to address both issues. I was pleasantly surprised at the insight she gave regarding watching students as they execute these exercises. I am a RYT-500 teacher and my goal is to take this knowledge to help people learn more about their pelvic floors.

I was unsure about paying for Leslie's course online as I was new to her work so I purchased and started reading her book. I could quickly tell that she was a wealth of knowledge on the pelvic floor so went ahead and purchased the course. I am so glad I did! I have learned so much that will help my students and myself. I am going to do her certification program as well.

She leads workshops and trainings internationally and is the author of Pelvic Liberation: Using Yoga, Self-Inquiry, and Breath Awareness for Pelvic Health.
