Today I was so fortunate! I got to work with my wonderful friend and yoga instructor, Emily Light, photographing her workshop, Yoga for Women's Health and Fertility. While I was shooting, I got to learn from Emily, she is an absolute wealth of knowledge. She brought along her anatomically correct pelvis, lovingly named Penelope. All of the pieces of Penelope come apart, like a lovely puzzle, educating all of us women about our parts in a way that we rarely get to see them. If you did not already know, the pelvic floor is incredibly important for women's health and fertility. And learning how our pelvic floor works is essential: learning how to identify the muscles, how to lengthen them, strengthen them, release them. And my favorite piece, relaxing the pelvic floor instantly connects us to our First Chakra, grounding us, connecting us the to the Earth, helping us feel calm and safe. Emily is a wonderful yoga instructor, she teaches many yoga classes around town as well as workshops in Portland and Internationally. I plan on attending her workshop in Greece in 2018. Who's coming with me? Let's do it! Thank you, Emily! You are a blessing! xoxo
