Foreword with Shelly Prosko
Cheri Dostal Ryba & Shelly Prosko
We recorded our ‘kickoff’ conversation 4/22
This special celebratory conversation brought us all together to feature behind the scenes insights and illuminate the vision Cheri and Shelly have shared for yoga and pelvic health since they met in 2018.
We discussed the importance of awareness and connecting to the sensations of our body - and the magic of restored function when we no longer need to focus on or micromanage - the freedom that brings! We candidly defined sick care v health care, how the medical model limits providers and patients, and how yoga therapy fills these essential aspects of person-centered pelvic care. Don’t miss this!

"A one-of-a-kind book on the intersection between pelvic health and yoga therapy that empowers bodily autonomy, consent, and trauma-informed practices. This comprehensive guide fills a much-needed gap in our society's understanding of the unique and sensitive needs of women's health. This is for all women on the journey of learning that their lived experience is their greatest teacher."
— Zahabiyah Yamasaki, Author of Trauma-Informed Yoga for Survivors of Sexual Assault: Practices for Healing and Teaching with Compassion
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I'm struck by Cheri's ability to use language that is poetically descriptive without being flowery, discuss topics that are nuanced without being overly complicated, and simplify abstract & profound concepts without diluting the sacredness or power of Yoga.
As a yoga therapist & full spectrum doula, this book has meaningful insights & practices to work with both personally & professionally. I highly recommend it for all yoga teachers & yoga therapists."
— KT, yoga therapist, doula
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Ryba's brilliant text is a must-read for ALL clinicians who interact with humans with a pelvic floor to embrace, engage, and normalize the core of our being in a biopsychosocial-spiritual way.
Knowing is not enough; Ryba brings the felt experience of embodied connection to the pelvic floor."
— Carolyn Vandyken, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, Educator, Advocate, Researcher, and Co-Founder of Reframe Rehab
“Cheri is the ‘Oprah of therapeutic pelvic yoga’…her ability to dissect and gather then disseminate information was impressive, a unique talent and so beneficial to attendees to capture and retain what resonates. Cheri’s passion and commitment to women’s health is a bright light.”
