"Core" does not need to be a bad 4-letter word. 

​

A structurally balanced core is fundamental to being comfortable on a daily basis, no matter what you're doing. If you can sort up your core, lots of other body parts will fall into place. And it's not just on a physical level; a balanced core can give you psychological stability and sense of strength and resilience.

​

We also need structural balance to be able to do the things we need to do, like put away groceries or pull weeds, but also those things we want to do, like play pickleball, golf, and keep up with grandkids.

​

My 4-week course, "Yoga for the Core Body" can help you find a good relationship with your core, without ever doing any crunches. The work we do on our yoga mats will help prepare you to enjoy everyday activities off the mat!

​
