👆—, Let's Get to the Core of the Matter

When you think of core strength, abs may be the first thing that comes to mind—but your core is so much more than what you can see in the mirror. It’s a powerful support system working behind the scenes to stabilize your spine, improve balance, support everyday movement, and help your entire body move with greater strength and confidence.
 

This week’s theme, The Core of the Matter, takes a closer look at the strength you don’t see and why building a functional core can have benefits that reach far beyond your yoga mat.
 

We have two new classes this week to support the theme, each offering a different way to strengthen your center, support your body, and tap into the power that comes from within.
 

✨ Discover why some of your most important strength starts at your core.

Plank Pose

Plank Pose is a warming core posture that increases your strength and stamina while preparing you for more challenging arm balancing postures.

Benefits:
- Strengthens arms, legs, wrist, chest, spine, and core muscles
- Warms and energizes your body while increasing circulation and endurance
- Prepares you for more challenging arm balancing postures
 

Modifications:
- You can lower your knees down to the floor until you gain the strength to keep them lifted
- You can squeeze a block in between your thighs to help you to engage
 

Chakras:
Plank Pose stimulates the Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura) and can help the practitioner feel strong, empowered, and confident.
