WORKSHOP: CORE STRENGTHENING and INVERSION

For many people, there are several asanas (postures) in the practice that often feel strenuous or a bit resistant. For example: Chaturanga Dandasana (plank) , Vasisthasana (side Plank), Utkatasana (half squat), Bakasana (crane), Navasanaa (boat), Sirsasana (head standing), Pincha Mayurasana (half feather peacock pose/ dolphin pose)…etc.

This workshop will include fluid asana exercises, animal walks, and arm balance postures. We have realized that memorizing a single part of the body's movement techniques does not bring about a complete integration of mind and body. Therefore, the purpose of this workshop is to exercise the whole body to guide you to discover the strengths and weaknesses of the body and to achieve a balanced and healthy asana practice.

Why you should strengthen your core muscles?

Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach.

●Improved balance and stability

Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities.

●Improved Breathing

Standing straight and tall also improves your breathing, so strengthening your core can be beneficial for anyone who suffers from breathing issues. Improving your balance and posture opens up your airway, making it much easier to exhale and inhale.

●Reduced Back Pain

Weak core muscles lead to an increased risk of back pain and injury because they lack the strength to support the spine properly. Engaging in core strengthening exercises can help to strengthen these muscles and may reduce the discomfort of both chronic and acute pain in the mid and lower back. It can also improve spinal mobility and flexibility.

●Improved Digestion

The digestive system is enclosed by the abdominal muscles and internal and external obliques, which further compress the stomach and intestines to aid digestion and elimination. If these muscles are weak, digestion and elimination will be sluggish, resulting in bloating, stomach aches, and poor nutrient absorption. Strengthening your core muscles and improving your posture make the digestive process more efficient. This can play a key role in everything from energy levels and immune health to metabolism and maintaining a healthy weight.
