CELEBRATE THE PELVIC FLOOR

Empowering Women to Rediscover Balance, Positivity, and Joy in Their Lives Through Pelvic Floor Strengthening and Relaxation


Hi! I'm Julie Blamphin - CPF Founder and Pelvic Floor Yoga Pro

My Story

My first teaching experience, when I was 12 years old, was coaching 4-8 yr old children with special needs. My mother owned a school of gymnastics and that's where my life's work began. Many years later, my role as a pelvic floor advocate actually began with my mother, as well. In 2003, Momma was diagnosed with a pelvic floor dysfunction. (More of her story in our video message below and in the CPF Series Ep 3.) What then followed - along my own journey - was more experience, education, and awareness. A year after receiving my yoga certification in 2009, a student of mine tells me she feels like she's 'falling apart'. She'd recently lost her husband and now felt her body was manifesting the heaviness of her grief. The diagnosis of pelvic organ prolapse confirmed it. She's one of the many to practice pelvic floor stability with me through yoga, laughter, and fascia release. My own personal PF story includes pain, tightness, leakage, and shame -- the full gamut of physical, sexual, mental, and emotional challenge. Along the way, I've continued my education to hone this focus through Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Pelvic Floor Yoga with Leslie Howard, Transcendental Meditation, Laughter Yoga, and The MELT Method with Sue Hitzmann. My approach is a synthesis of Western Science together with Eastern Wisdom. Celebrate the Pelvic Floor was founded in the hopes of sharing all this knowledge with women far and wide. There are too many of us suffering in silence! Let's take this topic away from taboo, ladies. The time is NOW!

A Message from Momma and Me

the CPF Vision

We aim to be a global community of women supporting women with the intention of bringing the issues surrounding women's pelvic floor wellness into more of a main stream level of awareness.


the CPF Mission

We offer online education and live events to promote understanding of pelvic floor wellness and to encourage more candid conversation and effective healing through the sharing of stories, practices, techniques, and professional resources.

"Who Knew...?"

Karen

I have been practicing CPF Yoga with Julie for only a few months, but I have been very impressed with her knowledge of pelvic floor dysfunction. Julie is passionate about alerting us to an issue I never considered could be causing my complaints of bladder symptoms and chronic pain. Who knew that healthy pelvic floor muscle function is directly related to the way you breathe? Practicing with Julie and then adopting diaphragmatic breathing, supportive yoga poses and pelvic floor relaxation techniques have enhanced my lifestyle. Thank you, Julie!

"I'm Feeling Empowered"

AliceAnne

Celebrate the pelvic floor!!! I honestly want to shout this! Since working with Julie in understanding what CPF means, I’m learning to listen to what my body feels and needs. Through CPF breathing, poses and enlightenment, I’m feeling empowered, peaceful and free. I’m releasing shame, worry and self-doubt while also embracing my unique and divine self! We need to not only talk about our pelvic floor, but indeed CELEBRATE IT!

"Awareness Has Helped"

Donna

I have noticed that my previous issues I had with hip flexors seems to be gone. I have also noticed my hamstring issues have improved. It’s been very interesting to realize that my alignment may have been causing problems and having that pointed out and awareness has helped me improve my pain issues.

"Enlightening"

Elizabeth

My CPF practices have been so enlightening. I've always said I have the bladder the size of a peanut! I would constantly worry about if I'd be able to find a bathroom when I was out of the house. But now, I'm able to recognize that many of my urges were about my pelvic floor tone and not my bladder.

IMAGINE THIS ::

  • sleeping through the night without waking to pee

  • holding your body with stability and confidence

  • enjoying sex with no pain

  • feeling joy and positivity rather than guilt and shame

  • sneezing, running, lifting, coughing, dancing, and laughing without leaking

  • BALANCE

    Through relaxation, we’ll gain strength.

  • POSITIVITY

    Through compassion, we’ll gain confidence.

  • JOY

    Through celebration, we’ll gain a new understanding of the body’s beauty and resilience.

FAQ

  • What / why / where is the pelvic floor?

    The pelvic floor is a bunch of muscles, fibers, and fascia at the base of the pelvis that's super important for so many reasons! It connects front-to-back from pubic bone to tailbone and side-to-side at the ischial tuberosities (‘sit-bones’). The pelvic floor is part of our deep core, and connected through fascia from the tongue to the toes. Its responsibilities include urinary, bowel, childbirth, orgasm, support, and stability.

  • How do I ‘celebrate’ my pelvic floor?

    That depends on your pelvic floor! Raising awareness of this space in the body takes focus and patience. This, in itself, is a celebration! Once we realize the state of our pelvic floor, we can stabilize it appropriately. There are many techniques we can practice yet this isn’t a 'one size fits all' sort of endeavor.

  • The CPF Series is an online course that helps women stabilize their pelvic floor. Why should we buy it?

    This course could change your life in an amazing way. We all have a pelvic floor and we need to know how to keep her happy and healthy! This course offers research, resources, statistics, stories, breathing techniques, a private discussion board, yoga practicum, meditations, and more. And we have exclusive new offers for 2021 – groovy complements to your CPF Series! Get on our mailing list to receive all the deets. You do NOT want to miss this!

  • What do you teach in the course?

    The main focus of the course is self-discovery. We'll find stability -- physically with yoga, emotionally with breathing and laughter, and energetically with fascia and chakra work.

  • What are the CPF Circles and Meet Ups?

    These are live and online events for women only where we move, groove, laugh, learn, and celebrate the pelvic floor! It's a fun, informative, safe space where we can share stories and support one another.
