Teaching with endometriosis presents unique challenges that many educators face silently. As a teacher living with chronic pelvic pain, I've learned that managing endometriosis symptoms while meeting classroom demands requires more than just preparation, it requires protecting my health alongside my passion for teaching.

If you live with endometriosis or persistent pelvic pain, you probably already know that pain doesn’t follow a neat, predictable schedule. Some days are manageable. Others are overwhelming. And many days fall somewhere in between.

One of the most common questions I hear from patients is:
"Can I do Pilates if I have endometriosis?"

And the answer is: there is absolutely no rule against it.

Research confirms what many patients have known for years: endometriosis is associated with significantly higher rates of insomnia, poor sleep quality, and daytime fatigue compared to those without the condition.
