This form of exercise reduces pressure to the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic cavities, which can alleviate symptoms such as urinary leaking and incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, hernias, and back pain.

This is accomplished through a series of postures and breathing techniques combined into a flowing routine.
