DESCRIPTION

When we think about the core, we tend to visualize the evasive 6 pack of abs, but core means deep, and the depth of our bodies constitutes more than our superficial abdominal muscles. To access these deeper muscles, we tend to need quieter movements and forms of engagement. We need the practice of mindfulness to sense where our core really exists, and we need the breath.

Join Jodi for this 90-minute workshop where core myths will be dispelled and subtle practices experienced.

"Who is This Workshop For?"

This workshop is for anyone interested in connecting with and learning about their core. You should be able to lie down on and get off the floor, either without assistance or with the assistance of a chair. Non-Binary, Women and Men welcome.

In this workshop we will:

  • Explore the connection between the pelvic floor, deep abdominal muscles, and breath.

  • Learn about the different layers of the abdomen and engage each of them.

  • Discover how posture affects the core

  • Access the core through yoga asana, breathwork, and other movement modalities.

SUGGESTED DONATION:
