In this class, we go a bit deeper to our core.
If you are on your cycle avoid this practice for the time being. Likewise, if you are new to yoga go slowly and keep your back protected not causing strain until you build up your practice with lots of standing postures, forward bending, and twists. If you are experiencing low back issues wait a bit then when feeling more stable definitely address your core.
Our arms and legs, the organs of action, as we call them, are vital in keeping our core connected, strong, activated, and lengthened. Here we will activate in a safe and progressive way using the arms and legs to isolate this area. Today I focus primarily on postures that will turn the focus to the core up a notch. Additionally, feel free to add a second class (from my posted videos) either before or after this class, including standing poses or seated twists, and if time allows, add inversions.
Enjoy your practice!
