Pelvic Floor & Groin Support

CORE

PELVIC FLOOR AND GROIN SUPPORT

Pelvic floor instability can quietly influence how we move and how safe we feel in our practice. Weakness or imbalance here may lead to groin strains, hip discomfort, or even low-back issues. Overstretching without the counterbalance of strength often leaves these deep stabilizers under supported. Matt’s approach is methodical.  We build awareness by engaging the adductors, pelvic floor, and core before adding complexity. Step by step, we create a resilient base so that deeper postures become safer, stronger, and more sustainable.

SIDE PLANK VARIATIONS FOR THE ADDUCTORS

Matt introduces two distinct side plank variations to train the adductors and improve pelvic stability. First, with blocks between the thighs, we lift and lower the hips, keeping the top heel high and squeezing the block to fire the inner thighs and psoas while challenging the obliques. This subtle lowering and rising teaches the body to stay connected at the midline. Then, we shift to a more advanced side plank with the top leg supported on blocks. Here the top foot presses down and drags toward the bottom hand to prevent collapsing backward. Adjusting the pelvis and tipping toward the floor or toward the sky changes how the adductors, glutes, and hamstrings respond, giving us precise control and deeper awareness.

BOAT POSE TO AWAKEN PELVIC SUPPORT

Shifting to Boat Pose, Matt takes us wide with the feet and turns the thighs inward to target the iliacus and psoas. Squeezing a block between the legs while leaning back activates deep hip flexors and reinforces pelvic stability. A small tailbone tuck and the imagery of drawing the sit bones toward one another helps connect to the pelvic floor. These actions refine how we hold the pelvis in space which is vital for both injury prevention and overall balance.

MINIMIZE INJURY IN MALASANA

In Malasana, Matt reframes the pose from passive stretch to active support. We sit hips back, weight into the heels, and press knees into elbows to recruit the adductors. The chest lifts while the tailbone tucks slightly to stabilize the pelvic floor and avoid overstretch. If the groin is sensitive or healing, narrowing the stance closer to chair pose range offers a safer variation while still training inner thigh and core engagement.

STABILITY THAT LASTS BEYOND THE MAT

These layers of awareness and strength teach the body to organize movement differently, replacing old compensations with intentional support. As the adductors, pelvic floor, and hip flexors grow stronger and more responsive, we gain stability that protects the groin and lower back — not just in yoga, but in life. Matt’s approach reminds us that mastery is built slowly, one thoughtful action at a time. Through consistency and exploration, we create a base of strength that transforms how we move and feel far beyond the mat.
