Support Sunday Pose by Pose Spotlight — Week 6 Cobbler’s Pose (Baddha Konasana) Open. Grounded. Graceful.

-

 

Welcome to Support Sunday, where we continue our soft journey through poses that nurture the pelvic floor, calm the nervous system, and remind you that even diapered bodies deserve dignity, beauty, and strength.

This week, we’re settling into a soft seat. A pose of stillness, of openness, and of elegant surrender. Let’s unfold together with Cobbler’s Pose.

🧘‍♀️ 6. Cobbler’s Pose (Baddha Konasana)

How to do it:

Sit on the floor with your spine tall and proud. Bring the soles of your feet together and let your knees fall open like butterfly wings. Hold onto your feet or ankles gently. Let your chest lift and your shoulders soften back.

If your hips or knees feel tight, slide a folded blanket or cushion under each thigh for extra support. You can also sit on a folded blanket to elevate your hips slightly.

🕊️ Duration:

Hold for 1–2 minutes, breathing deeply into your belly and pelvic bowl.

💞 Note:

“Butterfly wings fluttering open—let your pelvic floor breathe while your back stays proud and pretty.”

Why it matters for pelvic floor support:
Cobbler’s Pose opens the hips, inner thighs, and pelvic space while encouraging length through the spine. It gently relaxes the pelvic floor—perfect for softening tension, especially for those of us wearing thicker padding or dealing with chronic tightness from managing leaks.

This pose tells your body: You can let go. You’re safe here.

💖 Closing Reflection

Softness isn’t the opposite of strength.
Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is open your knees, lift your chest, and sit in stillness.
To let your body breathe—even if it crinkles. Even if it leaks. Even if it doesn’t look “perfect.”

Cobbler’s Pose is your reminder that openness is grace, and grace is power.

With grounded grace,
—Alice 🌸

Fitness Friday: Managing the VDL (Visible Diaper Line) in Yoga & Fitness

-

“Wait—did you catch that? Not VPL, but VDL. Everyone talks about the dreaded visible panty line. But for those of us who live in diapers, what we really have to worry about is the visible diaper line. It sounds a little funny, but it’s also real. That little outline can bring on a flood of questions: Can I really go to yoga without people noticing? What about barre, Pilates, or the gym? The good news is yes—you can absolutely move, stretch, and sweat with confidence. With a few smart choices, VDL doesn’t have to keep you from the studio.” 1. Choose the Right Base Layer Your leggings or yoga pants do most of the work here. Go thicker: Brushed, ribbed, or fleece-lined fabrics hide outlines far better than thin, shiny ones. Play with patterns: Heathered tones, camo prints, or busy designs distract the eye much more than flat solids. Darker shades help too: Black, navy, or charcoal absorb light and disguise lines, while pastels and pa...

Release Before You Strengthen - What Every Incontinent Yogi Should Know About the Pelvic Floor

-

✨ Introduction: When you wear diapers—whether due to incontinence, disability, healing, or simply tender self-care—yoga becomes more than just movement. Every step onto the mat is an act of vulnerability, strength, and grace. People will tell you to “just do Kegels,” but that’s not always the answer. In fact, if your pelvic floor is already holding on too tight, squeezing harder can make things worse. As someone who crinkles with every stretch, I’ve learned the most important lesson in pelvic health isn’t about strength—it’s about trust. And trust starts with release. 🌿 Why “Release Before You Strengthen” Matters The pelvic floor is a sling of muscles that supports your bladder, bowels, and internal organs. But like any other muscles, they can be: Too weak (leading to leaks) Too tight (also leading to leaks!) Or stuck in both at once You might think strengthening is the only solution. But here’s the truth: ✨ A muscle that never relaxes can’t get stronger. ✨ 🛁 Pelvic Floor Release – L...

🧘‍♂️ The Benefits of Yoga for Men with Urinary Incontinence: Strength, Support, and Self-Acceptance

-

Urinary incontinence is more common than most men want to admit. Whether it’s the result of surgery, injury, trauma, or time—leakage and loss of control can chip away at a man’s confidence, activity level, and even his identity. But yoga can offer something powerful in return. As someone who lives openly in diapers and practices yoga daily, I’ve seen how this practice can transform the relationship between body, breath, and shame. Some people might call them absorbent garments or products for bladder protection. But let’s be honest—they’re diapers. And that’s not a dirty word here. It’s just part of how I live, move, and care for my body. Yoga isn’t about perfection or performance. It’s about healing—physically and emotionally. 🩺 What Causes Male Incontinence? Common causes include: Prostate surgery Nerve damage Injuries, Trauma or PTSD Aging and weakened pelvic floor muscles Many men respond with silence. Or withdrawal. Or isolation. I responded with yoga. 🌿 How Yoga Helps Men w...
