Participants will gain a greater awareness of the core muscles and how something as simple as shifting one’s awareness in a familiar pose, incorporating the breath, extending the hold, or altering the transition coming in and out of familiar poses can strengthen core muscles in an easeful way that still feels like yoga. This workshop will explore the various ways one can include core strengthening into a home practice that is safe, accessible and even fun, without having to do a crunch. Many people have an aversion to core exercises and automatically associate core strengthening with crunches and leg lifts. At a more subtle level, It can also cultivate a greater sense of centeredness, emotional strength and wellbeing. Almost every yoga pose involves the core in some way and a strong core can facilitate one’s yoga practice in improving balance, stabilizing the spine, and preventing injury. The core is the foundation upon which all movement is based and stability maintained at both the physical and energetic levels.
