How to Feel Your Core Working | Arrows Breathing for Core Awareness & Stability
Do you struggle to feel your core working during exercise? Are you unsure if your breathing and core muscles are working together effectively? In this video, Pilates instructor Alison Plant introduces a simple but powerful technique called Arrows Breathing to help improve core awareness, breathing mechanics, and core stability. Using easy-to-understand visual metaphors like arrows and an elevator, you'll learn how your diaphragm, pelvic floor, and deep abdominal muscles work together as a complete core system. Many people find it difficult to activate their deep core muscles because they cannot see or feel what is happening internally. This breathing exercise helps develop awareness of your breath-core connection, making it easier to improve posture, pelvic floor function, core strength, and movement control.
