In every movement we make as humans, the core body is at play. This workshop will teach to the awareness of both core contraction and expansion, how to use it on purpose and where it relates to:
-grounded stability poses
-arm balances
-transitions in flow-based classes
-any and all movement patterns in general including but not limited to: standing up from a seated position, slowing down, pushing, pulling, lifting and so much more…
Attendees will gain an understanding of the psychology of core strength where it relates to the technology of yoga and the energy body. Learn methods for developing a useful strong core and activating a healthy core brace. Learn how to “turn on” the neuro-muscular connection to this mysterious part of the body and how doing so can assist in supporting the back and spine, stability and balance and increased longevity.
We will end class with yin style yoga counter-poses to neutralize the muscular work and contraction we’ll be doing in class.
Note: While we will most definitely be physically working exploring different ways of connecting to and activating core strength, this is an anatomical and technicality focused class - not a “workout” class in and of itself, per se.
Early bird ticket - $40 before January 1st, $50 thereafter
