A strong core stabilizes the entire body; supporting the spine, the back, hips, knees, and on and on. When we focus on building core strength, we get the added benefit of developing stamina and control.
TIPS AND TRICKS:
*Pause the class to take breaks when needed and feel free to skip the full count if you want. Maximize the benefits by listening to your body and tailoring your practice to your comfort.
*Practice drawing your belly button to your spine and engaging the core for as many of these poses as you. Over time, you can try to hold your engaged core for longer and longer stretches during your practice.
*Remember to breathe! Draw the breath in through the nose and make a “shhhhhh” sound as you release the breathe through the mouth.
