Amy talks with Cheri Dostal Ryba in this episode. Cheri has been teaching movement, anatomy, yoga, and fitness since 2000. Cheri has also trained and mentored yoga teachers since 2010.

Cheri educates about her work in the niche of Pelvic Floor Therapy and how it differs from Physical Therapy. They also talk about Cheri’s background and how she got started with pelvic health, her experience moving back to the Midwest with a young family and starting afresh, and Cheri’s new book titled Pelvic Yoga Therapy For The Whole Woman.

Amy and Cheri talk about the following

• Cheri’s background and her decision to move across states to be closer to family
• How Cheri started studying Pelvic Yoga Therapy and her personal journey
• How running was a wake-up call for Cheri to understand her own the pelvic health
• The symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction that might inform the need for yoga therapy
• The potential benefits of yoga therapy for pelvic health for both men and women
• The variety of ways that Cheri works with her patients from a yoga therapy perspective
• How the nervous system is connected to pelvic health
