Stop Contracting Your Pelvic Floor on Every Exhale ❌

Everyone says your pelvic floor contracts with every exhale… but that’s not always true.
Yes, your pelvic floor naturally lowers on the inhale and rises on the exhale — but effort and timing matter. In some situations, actively contracting on your exhale can actually increase tension and create dysfunction.
In this video, I explain when you should NOT actively lift your pelvic floor, including: • When you’re relaxed
• During nervous system down-regulation (breathing, meditation)
• When releasing pelvic floor tension
• If you struggle with excessive tightness
• During bowel movements or childbirth
Understanding the difference between passive recoil and active contraction can completely change how your core and pelvic floor function.
Save this for later and share with someone who’s been told to “just do more Kegels.”
