Core Strengthening

First Listed July 3, 2009

Warming up…..When I start my yoga practice, I start with a sun salutation where I hold each pose within the sun salutation for at least 3 breaths, starting with mountain pose. This gets my body warmed up and ready for my practice.

Stronger core…..I’ve also been holding plank pose, which is pictured above, longer and longer. I’m up to 10 breaths. This has really helped strengthened my core muscles – back and stomach. I think this has also been helping me with my handstand and shoulder stand as well.

Do you have any tips that have helped in certain areas of your yoga practice? Do share by hitting the comments button below!
