When it comes to taking care of ourselves women seem to do a fantastic job. From our hair to our clothes, shoes, nails, makeup, facials, massages and so on. Women love this stuff, it’s part of our feminine nature and is a multi-billion dollar industry. Women adorned in beautiful clothes, jewels and makeup goes back as far as history does, but one thing seems to be consistently left out in most cultures throughout history.

Can you guess what it is?

Vaginas!

Is it because our vaginas hide under our clothes all day and we just kinda forget about them? Is it the social taboo that vaginas should be a private matter and are gross? Whatever it is women need to start caring for their vaginas and giving them more love and attention. Just like any other part of our bodies we need to have a healthy and consistent care routine to promote health and vitality.

Here are my five steps to vaginal vitality:

Yoni Yoga: Yoni Yoga is an exercise routine using yoga poses that specifically benefits the pelvic floor. It’s like a personal trainer for a woman’s vagina. When you go to the gym and exercise your body whether it be running, cardio, or cross-fit it can promote pelvic floor dysfunction and can actually do more harm than good. So, yes, that awesome cross-fit class may be good for your body, but it’s not so good for your pelvic floor. I know many women who are exercise junkies with horribly weak pelvic floors and super tight, fit bodes. How does this happen? Through imbalances. When one part of the body is constantly exercised, lets say our abs, we create imbalances by working one muscles group and not the other. For the abs one can work the rectus abdominis for a tight and flat tummy, but ignores the inner obliques and transverse abdominis. By doing this the rectus abdominis is always held tightly or contracted constantly, an increased pressure is placed on the pelvic floor muscles, which may cause injury or dysfunction. Our pelvic floors require their own special exercises to keep them strong and healthy. Check out our Yoni Yoga post for some awesome, easy and fast pelvic floor exercises which not only work your pelvic floor, but your entire core to prevent imbalances. Make sure to check back for even more posts on yoni yoga sequences.

Yoni Eggs: Gemstone Yoni Eggs are polished semi-precious gemstones carved into the shape of an egg. They are inserted into the vagina during kegel exercises to help strengthen the vaginal muscles, revitalize ones intimate space, and tone the entire pelvic floor, returning the vagina back to it’s youthful state. In addition, yoni eggs are used internally during meditation to help women connect to their womb space, their sacred feminine energy. This is the energy that brings dreams to life; women can literally manifest anything when this sacred energy source is tapped into. And even better, you can use your yoni egg during yoni yoga to help heal and strengthen your pelvic floor even more! Check out our beautiful yoni egg collection here.

Yoni Steam: So, you know when you were sick as a kid and your mom would made a steaming bowl full of herbs or vapor rub, stick your head over the bowl covered with a towel so you could breathe in the steam to clear your nose and throat? That’s pretty much what yoni steaming is. It’s not a new trend either, it’s actually thousands of years old and has been used throughout many cultures throughout the world. By steaming your vagina, the medicinal herb filled steam flows inward to promote strengthening of the womb; cleanses & detoxes; helps imbalances; helps increase fertility and maintain feminine health and much more.

Yoni Cleanse: Did you know your vagina has it’s own Eco-system? It’s true. Unlike other parts of our bodies, our vaginas are very acidic because they are constantly self cleaning and the only way to keep the bad bacteria, yeast and other yucky female problems in check is by being in an acidic state. Have you ever looked in your shower and wondered how many products are formulated for your vaginas special and unique PH? Probably none. Our yoni cleanse is formulated for a woman’s most sacred space and will not disrupt her delicate Eco-system. It’s unscented and very gently cleanses to promote balanced vaginal vitality.

Yoni Massage: Throughout history, the sexual organs of women have been celebrated, regarded as the central haven of health, power, wealth and youth. Every living being on earth has roots in the womb, making the womb the logical domain for a woman’s power source. Besides creating all human life, our wombs also give birth to new ideas, projects, businesses, and much more! The power and magic that women hold in their womb space is unlike anything out there. Women can literally  manifest anything when this sacred energy source is tapped into. One way of doing this is by connecting with your yoni through yoni massage. Try one of our silky smooth yoni wands for a self love session like no other. Concentrate your energy to your womb space during this time to manifest and connect deeply with your feminine core. You’ll love the magic and power you’ll create once your sacred feminine energy is tapped into to.

Remember to care for your whole body, mind and spirit which includes your magical, loveable, vagina!
