Understand the Nervous System’s Role

Explore how the nervous system, breathing, movement, pain, stress, and lived experience can influence pelvic-floor tension and function.

Follow a Clear Framework

The six pillars help you recognize where to begin, what to prioritize, and how to support meaningful progress over time.

Support the Person, Not Just the Symptoms

Learn to select and adapt education, regulation, breathing, and movement practices based on the individual—not a one-size-fits-all prescription.

About the course

The Pelvic Peace Protocol™ is a professional continuing-education course for yoga therapists, yoga teachers, and wellness professionals who want a thoughtful, adaptable approach to supporting pelvic tension, persistent pain, and anxiety. The course is organized around six connected pillars: Assess, Educate, Regulate, Restore, Build Resilience, and Integrate. Together, they provide a practical process for recognizing where to begin, deciding what to prioritize, and adapting support as a person’s needs change. Through clear instruction, experiential practices, and case application, you’ll learn how to gather relevant information, explain complex concepts accessibly, select and adapt supportive practices, and help each person carry what they learn into daily life.

What people are saying

Reflections from clients and students who have experienced Alicia’s private yoga therapy, group classes, and professional training.

”
“I really enjoyed the Yoga Nidra training. The movement and stillness examples were especially valuable, and I gained a better understanding of how to adapt the practice for daytime and nighttime use and for different populations. I left feeling confident in designing and leading Yoga Nidra sessions and would be interested in taking future trainings with Alicia.”

”
Amazing Experience! My experience with Alicia was phenomenal. Not only did she help me physically, but she helped me mentally. Learning the proper breathing techniques has helped in my day-to-day life. I really enjoyed learning the different exercises and why they are important for certain parts of your body! I went specifically for pelvic floor therapy due to some postpartum issues. I definitely feel an improvement and now it’s all about the self-discipline to keep it up. Thank you, Alicia!
