Although ALL of my classes are Vinyasa (unless specifically noted as a different style, like Rebecca’s Ghosh), the following classes have a focus of Core.
Handstands + Core Fast Flow
So I got called out after class this morning 🙂 I kept referring to this class as candy. For me, a fast flow with lots of handstands and core is the easiest kind of [...]
Strength Focused Vinyasa
After a couple of days of lower intensity, this was a no-more-mr-nice-guy class 🙂 We work strength all over the place. Mountain climbers and vinyasas work shoulders and core, one-legged squats and bridge variants [...]
Side Body Stretch and Strength
Another slightly lower intensity class. Usually, what I mean by lower intensity is a slower pace and fewer vinyasas. That said, you can make any class higher intensity by really working depth in your [...]
Pilates Core + Yoga
By request... core. Lots of core. Specifically, Pilates-inspired core. You're welcome! 🙂 We also do some yoga and we even take a minute to work on headstand.
Activation & Fundamentals
ooooh.... this is a good one. We start with some transverse abdominis activation (deep core muscle), then some glute activation. Then go into a flow that takes a little extra time to find deep [...]
Another Challenging Ladder Flow
Another faster ladder flow. Why not? Again, we see challenging standing transitions. Remember, the stability comes from your core... mostly. Calm mind. 🙂
Core Stabilization
Fun fact, your core muscles mostly exist to stabilize your spine and that is exactly what we work on in this class. We do lots of different kind of stabilizing movements that are challenging. [...]
Hard All-Around Flow
This is a challenging class, head to toe. Maybe there's a little extra work for shoulders as we work plank variations into our flow. I was definitely my shoulders by the end and that's [...]
Flow with Pressing/Floating drills
This should really be titled "Companion to Yesterday's Core Class." We hit lots of core yesterday, except one very notable muscle. Your favorite and mine, the iliopsoas (psoas for short). If you've never done [...]
Hit that C-O-R-E
Yeah, we hit core A LOT in this class. Sometimes you just have to do it. Grab your block and let's do it!
Hello, obliques!
We work, then stretch, then work, then stretch, then work, then... you get the idea... side body. We isolate those obliques over and over. Then we take it upside down and work headstand variations, [...]
A little bit of everything
The name of this class says it all. It's a little bit of everything. We hit some arm balances, standing balances, flows, core activation, glute activation. We hit anything that hard, but we hit [...]
Faster flow + CORE & Meditation
Merry Christmas Eve! This is a challenging flow class. We move pretty quickly and work core and strength into the flow. Then we hit core and finish it off with a yummy body relaxation [...]
Soooooo much core!
Ok you masochists... you're always asking for core, well here you go. This is an unapologetically core-heavy class. On our backs for half of class and engaging that transverse abdominis (deep core muscle). If [...]
Shoulders, Core, and sneaky Glute Work
I set off to work shoulders and core today. So, to that end, I thought, planks! We did plenty of this, but by adding some big, dramatic leg movements, requiring an equally dramatic activation [...]
I got a fever and the only cure is more side plank 😀
After a couple of weeks of intricate, balancing flows, this one feels simpler... but not easier. Have fun!
Opened and Closed!
First we open that front body with a back bending flow, including some long juicy holds. And the we close it down and work a good deal of core, activating those muscle groups in [...]
Legs, Core & Some Balancing.
My first thought watching this is back is, "holy shit, that is the least flattering yoga outfit in my closet." Low-rise leggings should be worn on exactly nobody over the age of 30. Lesson [...]
Core and Glute Activation for a Healthy Back
Let's face it: we sit too much. Not you personally (but probably), but most of us. The result is glutes that become lengthened and lazy, and psoases that come shortened (and also lazy). By regularly [...]
Pilates Inspired Core Work and Flow
Ok, I LOVED this practice. Starting with some serious core engagement really creates a beautiful foundation for vinyasa. I hope you enjoy it too!
