Establishing Core Strength I
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. After you have learned how to breathe and engage your core and stretch your body while your core is engaged, now David teaches you how to strengthen your core. Core strength will not only make you stronger and protect your spine, it will make you feel taller and lighter in your everyday life.
Comments
I so appreciate your thorough detailed instruction and learning how to deeply activate these essential muscles for stability and strengthening..
A wonderfully detailed class, I learned some new physical connections. All delivered with kindness and calm by David, thank you so much.
Thanks David for the great class. I do strugle maintaining the staff pose and engaging the moola bandh at the same time with keeping the momentum going. Need to continue working on it.
With my legs straight and back straight, I can't bend 90 degrees at the waist. Should I round my back to get my shoulders over my hips, or should I put my hands on the floor behind me to prop myself in a half sit-up position with a straight back? (I don't have the core strength to hold that half sit-up very long without propping!) Possibly related: when bending and lifting my legs, I didn't feel psoas engagement as much as I felt calf/hamstring relief.
