This class is meant to be a part of a series that you can see in our program Establish Your Core Stability and Strength and on our Yoga for Beginners page. In this class, part 2 of our core strength series, David shows you how to keep the core engaged while moving your arms and legs and stretching some of the key groups of muscles around the pelvis that can limit mobility, such as the hamstrings, hips flexors (psoas and quadriceps), hips and lower back.

This class was great for me. I am focusing on improving strength and stability for my lower back due to an old injury and this class taught me a lot and the strengthening was great. I will be doing it in my rotation. I really appreciate your sharing of your experience in such a gentle, thorough, and precise way.

I have practiced yoga for years, but I never had a teacher or series that builds up as beautifully as this beginner challenge did. Taking it easy and slow step by step from the very start truly transformed the way I do yoga. It's a shame how most people, including me previously, jump into ashtanga and advanced classes because they're strong and "can do it". But this beginner challenge truly made me realize it's not about pushing hard, but about paying attention to all the little subtle movements across the body at the same time. It has helped me with my posture throughout the day, made it automatic I pay attention when I'm hunching for example, and made me mindful of how I carry my body and that has helped ground me overall. So glad I found this, and seriously recommend it to everyone who wants to get into the basics of yoga, even if you can do more "difficult" yoga series.
