Let’s talk about something most women are never properly taught about – your pelvic floor.
If you’ve ever experienced bladder leaks when you laugh, felt disconnected from your body after childbirth, struggled with a weak core, or wanted deeper sensation during sex – it’s a sign your pelvic floor muscles need attention. One powerful and time tested way to strengthen and reconnect with these muscles is the yoni egg – a practice rooted in tradition, body awareness and feminine healing.
In this post, we’ll explore 5 yoni egg benefits, showing how it can improve your pelvic floor strength, enhance your connection to your body, and support overall wellness.
What is a Yoni Egg?
“Yoni” is a Sanskrit word for vagina. It translates to sacred temple – a beautiful reminder of the power and intelligence of the female body.
A yoni egg is a small egg shaped semi precious stone worn internally in the vagina for healing and strengthening purposes. Traditionally they were used in ancient China within Taoist practices – and were considered such a powerful secret for vitality and sexuality that only royalty and their concubines were taught how to use them.
Most yoni eggs are made from jade which is why they’re sometimes called jade eggs. The highest quality is nephrite jade – a dense and durable stone used over 5000 years ago by women of Imperial China.
- Improved Muscle Strength
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports your bladder, uterus and bowel. When these muscles are weak movements like jumping, running or lifting heavy groceries – can feel risky and you might even notice small leaks or a feeling of heaviness in your pelvis.
One of the biggest yoni egg benefits is that it gently engages your pelvic floor muscles because your body naturally contracts to hold it in place. Each contraction activates and tones these muscles over time – acting like a low-impact internal workout and helping you feel more stable, confident, and in control during daily activities.
- Postpartum Recovery
Pregnancy and childbirth are incredible experiences, but they put a lot of strain on your body – especially your pelvic floor. These muscles work hard to support your bladder, uterus and bowel and carrying a baby overly stretches them so much that they’re unable to fully recover on their own.
Doing yoni egg exercises for beginners like kegel, flicks and resistance training can help reconnect with these muscles. With regular practice your pelvic floor gradually regains tone and control, making everyday movements – lifting your baby, bending or walking for longer periods – feel more supported and secure.
- Increased Core Stability
Think of your pelvic floor as the base of your core. It works alongside your abs, lower back and diaphragm to keep you upright and stable. When it’s not strong or well coordinated you might notice slouching, lower back discomfort or a general feeling of instability.
A yoni egg benefits your core stability by giving your pelvic floor something to actively work against – which helps it become stronger. Once you insert the egg, the pelvic muscles naturally squeeze to lift and hold it in place. This repeated lifting and controlled releasing acts like strength training for your pelvic floor – helping you stand taller, sit straighter and improve your posture.
- Better Sex Life
A yoni egg can help you feel more in tune with your body and your sexual responses. As you practice you’ll notice how your pelvic floor works together with your vagina and clitoris which can make sensations stronger and more focused. Many women find that this practice helps them relax, stay present and discover new levels of sensitivity – with stronger orgasms and the ability to relax or tighten the vagina on purpose.
Knowing your own body better also makes it easier to express what you enjoy during sex, leading to more confident and intimate experiences with your partner – every touch feeling more playful, exciting and deeply satisfying, helping both of you feel closer than ever.
- Enhanced Connection with Menstrual Cycle
Your pelvic floor muscles don’t just support your bladder and uterus – they’re also deeply connected to your uterus. This is why during periods, cramps, lower back aches and a heavy feeling in your pelvis are so common.
When you insert a yoni egg in your vagina – the contraction of the muscles helps you notice exactly where this tension builds – a tight lower belly, sore hips or heaviness in the pelvis – and teaches your muscles to gently release it. This is one of the most important yoni egg benefits. With regular use it can ease cramps and address hormonal imbalances, making the whole cycle less of a struggle.
When to Seek a Professional?
Yoni eggs are a simple and effective way to strengthen your pelvic floor, boost your posture, support postpartum recovery, spice up your sex life and even make your periods a little easier.
While some women enjoy exploring yoni egg benefits on their own, working with a professional intimacy coach can take your practice to the next level. A coach can show you how to use the egg safely, create a routine that fits your body, and answer any questions along the way – so you get the most out of your practice while feeling supported and confident.Schedule a session with Teja Valentin today.
