Yoga Intensive March 28th - Ignite your Fire

Yoga Intensive March 28th
Ignite Your Fire

Unleash your inner warrior.
Be fierce. Build a strong core.

One of my students recently said “Yoga keeps me toned and calm, but I do other exercises for core strength.” Often “core strength” is associated with strong abdominal muscles and it is common to use various forms of sit-ups to develop this form of abdominal strength. For some they are a good start and can be a very effective yet for others they can create a sore neck and shoulders, a strained lower back and a contracted, rigid core. 


Yoga poses use the core in a way that cultivates a strength born of physical integration and connection rather than one of force, strain and tension. Physical integration and connection is the coordination of different parts of the body working as a whole instead of isolating a muscle or muscle group. Understanding how to engage the whole body in building core strength is a key way to making mind, body and spirit stronger and more powerful. Working the body in unison ignites deep core muscles and brings awareness of how your torso and limbs work together to create calm and steady yoga poses and a strong inner fire. 

Ignite your fire and take this sense of core strength and wholeness into a series of warrior poses and forearm and side plank variations. 
"Be fierce on and off the mat."

This intensive focuses on building awareness of and connection to your deep core by strengthening abdominal and lower back muscles through engagement of the inner thighs and upper body. We will explore warrior poses with an emphasis on moving from a supple and strong core opening up to our inner warrior. Unwinding we take to the floor for a grounding and soothing sequence including hip openers, twists and restorative back bends that led us naturally to meditation and savasana.

Appropriate for all levels as variations and modifications offered throughout the practice. Tailor the practice to suit your needs on the day.
