Essential Steps for Core Strength

Before strengthening the core muscles (the torso muscles that stabilize the hips and back), it’s important to develop awareness of how to relax, stretch, and contract them. This will help you engage them properly during asana practice, preventing strain on the back and hip flexors. Let’s get started with the techniques in this step!

As you move and build strength, stretching your abdominals on a regular basis will keep your core supple, helping prevent tension in the abdomen and back.

Most of our movements throughout the day engage our core in some way. Practice these sessions and courses to build core strength and stability, helping prevent injury and improving your ability to move with grace in daily life.
