Join us for a night of education, connection and gentle yoga.
To begin, our pelvic floor specialist, physical therapist, Karen Bumpus, will be teaching an introductory course on what the "pelvic floor" is, how it works, and how to recognize optimal function or possible dysfunction. This workshop will include pelvic-friendly yoga instruction led by physical therapist and yoga instructor, Lucy D'Aponte. All you need to bring is your beautiful selves, a body-curious attitude and comfortable clothes to move in.
Who should attend: pre/post partum women, individuals with pelvic pain or incontinence, physicians, yoga teachers, therapists and people who want to understand their bodies better.
Karen Bumpus, DPT received her Doctorate in Physical Therapy from University of Massachusetts, Lowell. Since graduating, she has worked alongside some of the leading pelvic floor therapists in New England as a member of a specialty pelvic and women's health physical therapy practice in the Boston area. She relocated to Burlington in June of 2018. Karen offers a comfortable, safe and respectful atmosphere to discuss the intimate aspects of women's health. Her mission is to empower the women she treats, and to provide them with the tools to reconnect with and heal their bodies.
Lucy D'Aponte, PT is a licensed physical therapist and certified yoga teacher and Phoenix Rising yoga therapist.
