I want to thank Tom Ockler PT from Alternative HealthCare Solutions for putting together a great course- M3 "No Man's Land- The All External Evaluation and Treatment of Chronic Pelvic Pain Syndrome (CPPS)"! Tom's teaching approach made learning some complicated material fun and easy to understand. I have been able to immediately apply to my clients this week with good results. I also want to thank Patty Abrigo-Naidenoff MSPT and others from Integrated Therapeutic Healing for hosting the workshop!

When we hold our breath, the deep core changes. When we grip the belly, breathing is restricted. It’s all one conversation.
And when we shift from the idea of the core as an iron balloon to the image of a water balloon . . .soft, buoyant, responsive . . .we start to see a different kind of stability emerge.

One of my trainees captured it beautifully:

“The big ‘aha’ for me is that the goal is to help clients create a core that resembles a water balloon rather than an iron balloon. When we observe a client, we are looking for breath, softness, and buoyancy. I love the direct teaching of movements that build core awareness, connection, responsivity, and ultimately, strength. The reminder that no muscle works on its own—including the core—was invaluable.”

This is the work of yoga therapy . . helping clients establish a new physiological normal.

Not bracing. Not forcing. But restoring a neutral state where breath, pelvic floor, and movement coordinate.
