Support Sunday Pose by Pose Spotlight — Week 9 Savasana (Corpse Pose) with Diaphragmatic Breathing

-

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 unfolding. From the curled embrace of Child’s Pose, we now open into stillness, letting the body rest fully. A pose of surrender, softness, and complete release. Let’s lie back together in the healing quiet of Savasana with Diaphragmatic Breathing.

How to do it:
Lie flat on your back in Savasana. Place one hand on your chest and one on your belly. Close your eyes, soften your jaw, and let your breath guide you. Inhale gently into your belly, then exhale slowly, allowing tension to melt.

Option: Rest your legs over a bolster or pillow to ease your lower back.

Duration: 5–10 minutes.

Note:
“In this stillness, feel your breath cradling your pelvic bowl. You are safe, and you are healing.”

Closing Reflection

Savasana is often called the “final rest,” but here it becomes a doorway. Each inhale reminds you of your strength. Each exhale lets go of what you no longer need.

Even if you hear the faintest crinkle beneath you, let it be part of your comfort. Let it be proof that softness belongs here, too. You are not less for needing it—you are more for embracing it.

💬 Did you find peace in this final rest? Tag me @AliceInYogaPants with #SupportSunday so we can share our softness together.

Week 9 Reflection: A Soft Journey So Far

Nine weeks. Nine poses. Nine little ways to come home to your body.

From gentle tilts to folds, from strengthening lifts to quiet rests, each Support Sunday has been a reminder: healing isn’t about pushing harder—it’s about softening into presence.

If you’ve been following along, you’ve already practiced:

  • Listening to your pelvic floor without judgment.

  • Moving gently, crinkly or not.

  • Breathing into the quiet places of your body.

And maybe—just maybe—you’ve started to believe that even diapered bodies deserve beauty, grace, and dignity. Because they do. Yours does. Always.

With restful grace,
—Alice 🌸
Proudly padded, softly confident

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...
