core Foundations
About this Program
Core Foundations is a self-paced program designed to help you ignite, activate, and strengthen your core from the inside out. Using a mix of yoga shapes and alignment, personal training tools, and physical therapist-approved methods of strengthening deep core tissue, we’ll teach you how to use muscle activation to make even the simplest yoga shapes a fierce core-strengthening move.
How it Works
Program Outline
Week 1: Core Engagement Basics | 15-minute practices to introduce you to the shapes, build foundations, and begin to develop core strength and core activation with awareness. This week, you’ll also get introduced to daily practice videos
Week 2: Developing Integrity in Practice | 30-minute, slow paced classes focused on building foundations with structural integrity. This week incorporates additional movements into each class to keep practice going.
Week 3: Dynamic Strength | 45-minute, cumulative slow flow-based yoga classes that build off previous classes, with the same strength and integrity, and more intensity.
Approach to Practice
In this program, you’ll learn how to engage your core in some of the most basic of yoga shapes: tabletop, plank, runner’s lunge, and bridge. We’ll also cover how to use a stable core to move in transitions, and the fundamentals of downward dog.
