Whole Life Yoga

yoga for core strength

The core - the center of the body - includes the abdomen, low back, and hips. Core muscles align the pelvis, flex and rotate the lower spine, support the lumbar spine and protect the organs of digestion. Strength and flexibility in this area is needed for stability, balance, alignment, and range of motion. Core strength and flexibility support the center of the body and assist in making many yoga poses easier to complete and hold.

This 5-week series will explore specific yoga exercises to strengthen and lengthen the core muscles of the body, along with techniques to help you gain greater awareness of your core. This is an all-levels class. Options will be offered to allow students of different abilities to benefit at their level.
