For thousands of years Taoist Masters taught the secrets of the Jade Egg, mainly to empresses and concubines. Luckily these teachings have filtered through to us over the centuries.

The Jade egg practice assists in toning and strengthening the vaginal and pelvic floor muscles. The exercises help to maintain or develop a healthy pelvic floor and sexual organs. Working with the PC (the pubococcygeal muscle) which runs from the pubic bone to the coccyx. It supports all of the pelvic organs: bladder, uterus and rectum. It is the main muscle of the pelvic floor and controls the opening and closing of the urethra, the vagina and to some degree, the anus.

Jade egg exercises are particularly important as we get older or after having given birth. Pregnancy, childbirth, ageing and being overweight are all factors that often result in the weakening of the pelvic floor muscles.

Before you start with inserting the egg, there are important body connection exercises, anatomy understanding that are really key to the deeper success and connection benefits.

Cultivates sexual energy.

Focusses attention and stimulates sensation in the area.

Increases sensitivity in the genital area. Enables conscious connection to this area if one has previously felt disconnected.

On an energetic level it trains our body to draw energy upwards through our root into our body systems.

Increases blood circulation and improves the natural flow of hormones.

Tightens and tones the vagina – increasing the tone in your vagina increases the intensity of your orgasm.

Releases pelvic and vaginal tension.

Helps bring awareness to and clear held emotions in the vaginal muscles.

Improves muscle control.

It is said to prevent or resolve urinary incontinence.

Addresses vaginal dryness.

After menopause the walls of the vagina can become thinner, using the egg regularly helps promote cellular regeneration and blood flow.

If the pelvic floor muscles become weak, they are less able to support the organs inside your pelvis. This can lead to incontinence or even a prolapsed uterus. Jade egg exercises help strengthen this whole area.

I create a fun, safe and nurturing environment to explore using the Jade egg. Women don’t have to share anything about themselves unless they feel moved to. There will be anatomical understanding, embodied practices and learning a sequence for a personal home practice. The use of the Jade egg internally during the workshop is optional as you may want to come and learn the practice and start the exploration at home.

I also share some practices to assist the release of the posas muscle ( the emotional brain ) and open the hips and support the buttocks muscles that help support the pelvic floor.

Will we use the yoni egg on the day?

I will invite every one to give it a try but you do not need to use one on the day, some people like to practice with their egg in privacy so it is not necessary to have one or use one on the day. You can still learn the practices.

There will be no nudity on the workshop.

Are these practices complicated? 

The practices are super simple and easy to assimilate into your daily routines. It is yoga for the vagina.

How often do I need to use the egg for this to work?

Committing to at least one 15 – minute practice every week. That is the minimum you need to do to feel results. If you can do it several times a week, or 5 days a week, then you’ll really be experience fabulous results, but even the bare minimum will make a difference.

Is there an age limit for this? Am I too old?

No! The yoni egg is perfect for everyone to stay sexually vibrant especially through menopause and post menopause. The yoni egg practice can help with some of the hormonal challenges associated with aging by keeping your body sexually awakened.

I have had a complete or partial hysterectomy. Can I still use the yoni egg and will it still work?

Yes, absolutely it is great to work with the yoni egg to keep connection! If you have had recent surgery i.e. within the last three months, then please ask your doctor if this is a suitable time and when is the appropriate time to begin the yoni egg practice. If your healing is complete, then this is fine.

Is there any reason when you cannot use the yoni egg?

It is advised not to use the yoni egg if:

• You are menstruating
• You have an IUD (Intra-uterine device)
• Your vulva, vagina or bladder is inflamed or infected
• You are pregnant or wanting to get pregnant
• You have a moderate or severe vaginal prolapse
• You have had pelvic surgery in the last three months
