Join Diana Meltsner, a certified yoga therapist in learning to understand the importance of core strength as support for balance, lower back and more. Lecture, practice and discussion will be included. We will tailor our explorations to your interests.

We will look at the anatomy just briefly and then in movement we will recognize and feel the different parts of the core and how they can engage in movement together with the rest of the body. This regained awareness can be applied to gentle yoga asana, advanced asana practice as well as body movement off the mat. We will explore what happens when we use or don’t use the core, and how to teach the body to start using these muscles again and how much to do to regain or sustain strength.

In a gentle way, we will practice a series of strengthening practices for your core and address their challenges. It will be done in a chair, standing and on the floor. All levels of practice are welcome.

This workshop will be recorded and shared with participants for later viewing.

CEUs 2 hours for Yoga Alliance offered to attending teachers upon request.
