Client Experience
C.M, 25, Registered Nurse
"I took Emily's Yoga for Sexual Pain program and gained so much knowledge about myself, the human body, breath work, and yoga. I also learned that I share the struggle of sexual pain and anxiety with other strong women, which felt less scary and isolating. Emily was SO kind, gentle, and knowledgeable. She has done a great deal of research regarding pelvic floor anatomy and physiology and also has years of experience as a yoga teacher. As a registered nurse, I am used to focusing on my patients and healing their bodies, but Emily taught me how to pay attention to my own body's cues with breath work and yoga. With help from the skills that Emily taught me, I am making great progress with my healing journey. I highly recommend Emily's programs if you're looking to feel more connected to your body and to gain a sense of community with your struggles."

"I feel so fortunate to have Emily as my yoga teacher. She has such an innate knowledge of how the body works and how the body heals. Her teaching style is friendly, professional, informed, caring and personal - and I ALWAYS come away from her classes feeling better, stronger and grateful."

You can go at your own pace. Sexuality is private, it's personal, and can be deeply emotional.
It's important that you know that you can take your time working with your sexual and pelvic pain - your process is unique to you.
What is it? An educational series, not a yoga "studio" class. While we will practice some movement, stretching, breathing & concentration practices, that is not the predominant focus of our time together. I will be teaching you specific concepts for working with pelvic & sexual pain and helping you awaken to the embodiment of these techniques.
Who is it for? Anyone who would like to deepen their own ability to use movement, breathing, and imagery to experience release of tension & pain in the pelvis and pelvic floor. Specific issues our students present with include: pelvic pain, sexual pain, vaginismus, vulvodynia, anxiety, endometriosis, or other tension related issues of the pelvic and pelvic floor.
How is this different from going to a regular yoga class? In a regular yoga class, the instructor doesn't often have the time nor the capacity to provide detailed instructions on alignment. Often the understanding of the core & pelvic floor remain elusive. Yoga studio classes are a wonderful supplement to the work we will learn together, however not all yoga is created equal. I am happy to support you in finding a weekly yoga class, convenient to your lifestyle, that will be a good place to continue putting our skills into practice. I also have pre-recorded videos in my online courses that can help you continue your home practice, and go even deeper into your sexuality.
Do I have to have yoga experience? Yoga experience is helpful but not required. If you have physical issues, several health issues or trouble with movement or exercise, contact us so we can offer a more personalized approach.
*Please consult your doctor or other healthcare professional to make sure you are ok to begin a yoga program. Nothing taught by Emily Davies is a substitute for medical advice.
What if I can't attend all four weeks? We request that you make every effort to attend all four sessions. If you have an emergency and cannot attend, you will miss that week’s information. At this point I cannot guarantee another opportunity to make up that missed session. I will offer a limited amount of discounted private sessions of $90/hour for anyone attending this group series.
Will there be homework? Each week I will offer a simple practice routine (20 mins, or longer if you wish) that I suggest doing everyday or at least 3 times over the week. Some weeks participants will be asked to make observations about their habits, or do some journaling. Your participation in the homework is entirely up to you, however doing the practices at home will help you progress faster and with greater consistency.
- If you would like pre-recorded yoga videos for stretching the pelvis & hips, and a guided pelvic floor breathing audio meditation, I have that available in my online mini-course called Unlock for $44. There is absolutely no pressure to use my online material and absolutely no obligation.
