Episode 1: Pelvic Floor 101

Due to popular demand (aka an Instagram poll) we discuss Jaw Pain in today’s solo episode with your host and physiotherapist, Emma Jenkins. Have you ever had pain in or around your jaw? Does your jaw click/pop when you open or close your mouth? Do you grind your teeth? What does this mean? We will delve into what this is called, why it happens and what you can do about it. It’s so important to understand your own body and your pain. Knowledge gives us back the power to manage our own pain and dysfunctions - to live a happier and more functional life. So, let’s get honest about Jaw Pain.

In this episode, we chat with Yoga Teacher and lifelong yoga student Tegan Burger. We talk with her about what Yoga is, Yoga’s philosophy, and what mindfulness and meditation are. We also discuss how these tools can be accessible to us. Tegan then takes us through a meditation. Tegan is the owner of the Tegan Be Yoga School, based in Johannesburg. She has been teaching and learning Yoga since 2011. She has attended 6x yoga teacher training courses, runs a Yoga school where she trains 200hr and 300hr yoga teachers, and she is currently doing a degree in BSc Nutritional science. To top it all off, she also has her own podcast, Be Yoga, where she shares an array of yoga classes for you to follow along.

In this episode I chat with Casey Blake, who is a Registered Counsellor. Her counseling interests include sexuality, gender, trauma, and parenting, as well as working with people whose lived experiences are outside of heteronormative expectations. She is the creator of Tools for Having “The Talks” - a series of workshops for parents and caregivers, building their confidence, comfort, and skills in having age-appropriate conversations with the children in their care.  These workshops cover topics ranging from speaking about the body, touch, consent, bodily autonomy to sexuality.   Together we discuss sex, feeling safe in a relationship, pleasure, what LGBTQIA means and why we should know. We also discuss how we should talk to kids about sex and all the things our parents did not know how to do back then. Oh, and having sex for the first time.   Let's Be Honest!
