Course overview
Course description
This short Yoga for Core strength course will help you to understand what the core actually is and how it helps to keep the spine and pelvis stable. Strengthening the core can help to relieve back ache, improve your posture, balance and stability and make you less likely to injure yourself when doing daily activities such as lifting. Women often find that their lower core muscles can weaken due to pregnancy , child birth and also due to the menopause. There can be a lot of misunderstanding about core strengthening practices, many people think that the postures will be too challenging. This course will provide a safe and accessible approach to strengthening the core through yoga. You will learn a balanced range of practices that both strengthen and release your core muscles. You will learn that releasing and relaxing core muscles is as important as strengthening them. You will learn how breathing influences the core muscles and how to engage and relax the core as you breathe. This is a mat-based course that will include standing, floor based and seated poses. At the end of each session, you will relax through a guided Yoga Nidra practice.
