Hands up who ACTUALLY does their KEGELS?

I think that pelvic floor exercises like kegels are one of those things that as women, we all know we 'should' be doing… But we might not be. 

Or, like a lot of women who get in touch with me, you might be doing them, but be unsure if you’re doing it right. 

I have my own perspectives on pelvic floor exercises, as thankfully, they’ve always been part of my Tantra practice. In Tantra, we use pelvic floor exercises to help us BALANCE our lower chakras, CONNECT to and cultivate sexual energy and increase our PLEASURE during sex.  

But, I wanted to get the low-down from someone who’s studied from a western perspective in this area too. 

In this episode of Wholehearted, I’m talking to women’s Pelvic Floor physiotherapist, Anna Scammell, from The Whole Mother.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Exactly how we should be doing our kegel exercises according to an expert
• How we can tell if we’re doing them right or not
• The different ways we should take care of our pelvic floor before, during and after pregnancy - and why this matters even if we’re not planning on having kids. 
• And you’ll also get Anna’s perspective on Vaginal eggs AND being able to weight lift coconuts!   

LISTEN to the full episode THEN pass it onto your girlfriends, 'cause they need to hear this too!

The very first time I walked into a Tantra workshop, I don’t think I was nervous. I don’t think I knew enough about Tantra to be nervous! I really didn’t know what Tantra was. I knew that it was spiritual - and that it had something to do with sex… but that was about it! 

I would later learn that Tantra is a spiritual practice and a form of yoga and meditation. 

Tantra totally changed my life and, in my journey to learn more about it, I ended up teaching. 

Tantra is still part of what I do. Sometimes I share Tantra, but don’t necessarily call it Tantra.

I use it with my clients at times to help couples stop arguments or to reconnect in the bedroom again. It can help women learn to orgasm for the first time, help stop sex being painful or help women feel more confident in their sexuality.

When I mention Tantra to people - I get a whole lot of mixed responses. 

Some people are excited and want to know more. 

Some say ‘Oh Tantra - right, I’ve heard that Sting does Tantra and he has sex for 9 hours’. 

I even once had a client say - ‘Omg, Tantra? Isn’t that group sex?’ 

So, if you’ve heard me mention Tantra and aren’t sure what it is - don’t worry.

In this episode I’m going to share:

• What exactly Tantra is (and clear up some of the myths and misconceptions around it)
• 6 ways Tantra can help you have mind-blowing sex
• How Tantra can help you have a more loving, connected, harmonious relationship
• And how you can use Tantra in your own life, right away.

I look forward to sharing this with you.

Our culture gives us a lot of screwed up messages around gender, intimacy and sex. I often focus on how these messages and our lack of education impact women and their relationship to their bodies and sex, but these messages affect men too - just in different ways. 

I was super excited to explore this from a man’s perspective by interviewing Cam Fraser for this episode of Wholehearted. 

Cam Fraser, or THE Cam Fraser as he’s known on Instagram is a Certified Professional Sex Coach, Certified Sexologist, Registered Counsellor, and Registered Tantric Yoga Teacher. His work integrates scientifically validated, medically accurate information about sexual health, with sacred sexuality teachings from the mystery traditions.  As a coach, he helps men go beyond surface-level sex and into full-bodied, self-expressed, pleasure-oriented sexual experiences free of anxiety or shame. 

In this episode Cam and I discuss:

• What Cam wishes women really understood about men and sex
• Why men need to engage with our cultural conditioning around masculinity for deeper sexual pleasure and fulfilling relationships
• How you can get a man to open up more emotionally
• How to start a conversation with your partner about learning Tantra and improving your sex life or letting him know if you want more foreplay.

I absolutely loved this conversation with Cam and I know you will too. 

LISTEN in then pass it on to the MEN you love - they deserve to hear this too!

Have you ever found that you can’t stop THINKING during sex?

Many women struggle to ‘switch off’ and enjoy themselves when they’re making love.

They think about their performance, wonder if they’re doing the ‘right thing’, worry about their body - or even think about all the things they have to DO.

It stops you enjoying yourself and gets in the way of intimacy.
