Chair Yoga - Core Strength - 40 Minutes Some Seated, More Standing

Yoga for Core Strength - Some Seated, More Standing. In today’s practice, we’ll explore poses that help us build and maintain core strength including standing straddle forward fold with the ball. You’ll need a chair and a small ball for today’s class. If you don’t have a small ball, you can substitute a toilet paper roll. Or just do the practice without it. Welcome to Bottoms Down Chair Yoga. I’m Carol and I’m happy you’ve chosen to spend this time together with me warming up to stretch, lengthen and strengthen your body. This 40 minute yoga practice includes poses that focus on strengthening the muscles that make up what we refer to as our “Core”. The Core certainly includes the abdominal muscles across the front abdomen. But the Core also includes the oblique (side waist) muscles and the back muscles. We warm up gently and center our work on our breath and mindful movements to build strength and focus mindfully. You’ll need a chair and a small ball (or substitute). We’ll start seated and move to a standing position and return to seated. Please subscribe to my Bottoms Down Channel and never miss a video.
