Strong Core, Strong Practice

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.

Yoga is a physical, mental, and spiritual practice that originated in India. The ultimate goal of practicing yoga is to attain tranquility in the mind and spirit, and making this goal achievable by means of yoga poses and meditation.
