Workshop Description

True confidence comes from your core - your center of power - and this workshop reveals how to create strength and definition through the full circumference of your mid-section. Takeaways for experienced yogis and new practitioners alike will include:
• Fire up your abdominals, spinal muscles and hips more efficiently in key yoga postures and transitions, so the more you practice, your core grows stronger.
• Engage deep spinal muscles using simple, Pilates-influenced moves that protect your back and develop a safer practice.
• Learn my favorite yoga core strengtheners, how to put them into your practice and actually look forward to doing them.

The workshop will include a complete yoga practice amplifying the discussion and demonstration right away in your own body.
