When we approach our asana practice with knowledge and self-compassion, we enhance our strength, connection, balance, range of motion, and coordination.

In this workshop, we will discuss and explore what parts of the body to include in your concept of the core, as well as your relationship to your core. Anchoring the limbs to the core in yoga practice can support you in feeling whole and guide you to move with more fluidity and ease. Jennifer will share practices that will help you and your students stay connected to your cores.

Jennifer’s eclectic approach has been informed by in-depth and decades-long work in dance, personal training, Pilates, Alexander Technique, yoga, and more. This workshop will include:

Warm-up sequences for gentle joint mobility
The experience of initiating movement, as well as deep release, from your core
Breathing techniques for how to work with your core to avoid holding your breath
360-core work practice including back, belly, and sides
Using your core for simple, smooth flowing transitions for standing alignment, strength, and balance
Restorative and restful practices

This workshop is open to teachers and practitioners of all levels.

Recommended props: 2 blocks; 1 blanket (Club Fit has limited blocks and no blankets, so please bring our own)

Please be aware that we cannot control the temperature of the studio at Club Fit, and it can run cold. So please dress appropriately in layers and bring a blanket, hat, socks, etc. if you are sensitive to the cold. Thanks for your understanding.

A recording will be made available to all participants for two weeks following the workshop.
