Winnetka’s Architectural Diversity Walking Tour 

Women’s Exchange will offer this private  1-hour walking tour, with the Winnetka Historical Society to explore the village’s impressive array of architectural styles. The tour will start at  on Ash (address sent with registration)  focusing on the east side of the village with stops at twelve houses representing particular architectural styles. At less than 1 mile, this is our shortest walking tour and is a great option for participants interested in a little less walking and a bit more learning!

Led by health coach and personal trainer Patricia Linderman,  who is also a certified teacher of Pfilates, a Pilates-inspired pelvic floor training program created by urogynecologist Dr. Bruce Crawford.

This opportunity includes a 1-hour introductory workshop and two 30-minute group follow-up sessions on Zoom, to help you choose the variations that work best for your body and incorporate this simple daily habit (5-10 minutes a day) into your life!

Women in the U.S. don’t receive rehab after childbearing (as we would for other types of injury/trauma)😠 and most midlife-and-beyond women suffer from leaks, urgency, excessive frequency and/or prolapse without knowing where to turn for help.

Good news: with the simple training techniques presented in this workshop, you can start right away with your own at-home pelvic recovery in just a few minutes a day, and reverse or prevent these problems!

In the first 1-hour introductory workshop:

– You’ll learn surprising facts about the “base of our core,” common issues (including some you might not even know you have!), and what to do about them.

– We’ll do Kegels together and make sure we’re doing them optimally (there are many common mistakes!).

– We’ll tune in to the pelvic floor and start enhancing the important brain-body connection that helps prevent leaks and supports optimal functioning.

– You’ll learn and practice simple daily exercises (with seated, standing and lying-down variations, your choice!) that take Kegels to the next level for faster and more effective pelvic floor recovery.

– We’ll also add breathing techniques that support the well-being of the pelvic floor and our entire bodies.

– We’ll discuss easy ways to fit your new pelvic health routine into your busy life, in just 5-10 minutes a day, and feel a wide range of benefits!

– And together we’ll break down shame, silence and barriers with honesty and even a little humor.

What to bring: Please have a squishy ball or cushion that you can squeeze between your thighs. We will practice standing, seated and (optional) lying-down variations so be prepared to practice any of those you choose to do (completely your choice, all are good!).

In the follow-up two 30 minute sessions, we will:

• Provide accountability and support as you get this important habit established in your life.
• Check in on how the exercises have been going, ask questions and share successes.
• Practice coordinating our breathing with muscular activation.
• Learn and practice additional variations that may be helpful.

Workshop: Monday, April 22, 9 – 10 am CT

Practice sessions:  Monday, April 29 and Monday, May 6, 9 – 9:30 amCT.       Series $49/$45
