Strong Core, Strong Practice

12/4/2014

When advancing your yoga asana practice, it’s important to develop strength and balance all over the body, but it’s essential to focus on a strong core!  The centre of the body is a major source of strength for all asanas. Try doing a chaturanga using mostly your arms, then do one while holding your entire core tight – it makes a huge difference! 

Core strength is more than six-pack abs.  Actually, the strongest parts of your core are hidden deep in the body, and only specific exercises will strengthen those. 

Here are a few work-out moves to focus on those deep core and abdominal muscles:

-Planks:  all types of planks - regular plants, forearm planks, side planks.  Hold for as long as your can.

-Crunches and other abdominal exercises that engage your oblique muscles, and the entire length of your abdomen.

-Stability ball exercises:  crunches and other abdominal exercises done on a stability ball are greatly intensified. 

A strong core makes a strong yoga practice! 

**If you’re pregnant, please contact Vanda for more information about which core exercises are safe and which should be avoided in different stages of pregnancy.
