A power full Core Line to celebrate your body and stay in shape

How to use the power full Core Line into your yoga practice?

Many times I come across yoga students who want to gain more core strength and then they refer to their abdominal muscles. Its true that you can gain some core strength in that area but what if I say that that is not just your core and that you need to work in other area's in the body that will cultivate a lot of core strength for your body would that be new to you?

Way more important and interesting core muscles are your inner thigh muscles, your pelvic floor muscles and the psoas muscles. Your power in yoga practice comes from your foundation so grounding down is essential. So lets look at this:

What is the foundation? The foundation is what touches the floor. When standing it would be the feet. In push-ups, your feet and hands are the foundation. See if you can feel the difference in Plank pose, between just having the hands and feet on the floor, while hanging in the joints. Or when you actually push the foundation actively down while at the same time drawing your core in and up. You might feel a press and rebound effect, making you feel lighter.

General things like walking or sitting down and specific activities like sports or practising yoga, become easier, safer and more fun with a strong core. When you stand and actively push your feet into the ground, you activate your inner arches, which in turn corresponds to your inner thigh muscles, your pelvic floor muscles, your thigh muscles and your abs and all the muscles close to your spine. So from the activation of your inner archers, you activate the core line, that's what it comes down to.

Outer body versus inner strength. Many of us tend to use our outer body's superficial muscles) to move, especially when we are asked to move in a specific way like in yoga. It is important and can be very helpful to learn how to break the habit of moving only from the outer body. When we move only from the outer body we load unnecessary layers of tension onto ourselves.

Real power comes from activating the deep core line of our body, especially when we manage to keep the outer body soft and flexible. Power in yoga poses for example, comes when we put effort in grounding down through our foundation while drawing the core in and up.
