A Strong Yoga Core helps create core stability.

Once you program core stability into your "mind-body system", you will experience a profound steadiness in your life - physical steadiness, as well as energetic and mental steadiness, leading to balance and clarity.

A strong and stable core consists of all those muscles that support and stabilize the abdominal region of your body. Your front, back and sides need to be worked in a conscious way to "switch-on" that stability. Further to physical stability, yogis work on creating openness, linked to energetic and mental stability, through Bandha (locks) and an expanded awareness to these.

From my own experience, core steadiness is profound, and hence this class was created to help you find steadiness in your life.

A Jivamukti Yoga class with emphasis on working your core gently.

Once a stable core is "programmed into mind-body" system", the yogi will experience a profound steadiness in their lives - physical steadiness, as well as energetic and mental steadiness, i.e. balance and clarity.

The core can mean many things to different people. Some believe a "6-pack" is equivalent to a strong core, but this is simply not true, as a 6 -pack alone will not stabilise the lumbar/abdominal region of your physical body (strong belly muscles alone will do the opposite).

A strong and stable core consists of all those muscles that support and stabilise the abdominal region of your body, i.e. front, back and sides need to be worked in a conscious way to activate and create that stability. Further to physical stability, yogis work on creating openness, and energetic and mental stability, through Bandha (locks) and an expanded awareness to these.

From my own experience, this steadiness is profound, and hence this class was created to help others find steadiness in their lives.

Vinyasa is a Sanskrit word meaning conscious joining / linking / placing your actions.  

If this is done unconsciously, the end result will be arbitrary. 

Through conscious intent, the Yogi can choose to undertake a series of actions for a desired effect. Thus it is your INTENTION, that consciously links the postures and breath, in a series of conscious actions.  If that intent reinforces the ego self, then selfishness and self-serving habitual tendencies will arise. The Yogi should therefore practice with sincere, compassionate actions to benefit others. In this way, ego-self will weaken its habits, and compassion will awaken, revealing a higher Self, free of the bondage of suffering, and full of joy.

Repeat the following before and after every yoga practice. 

"May all beings be happy and free." 

When practiced sincerely over time, the Yogi will shift toward Self-realization, the ultimate purpose (and goal) of Yoga.

Give it a try, the results have been proven over many thousands of years by many yogis before you.
