Core Integration 2:
Discover Deep Core

We don’t have to tell you that integrating your core is an important part of your practice, but how these muscles integrate within your movement patterns and more importantly specifically activate and strengthen them often remains a mystery. The deep core involves the diaphragm, pelvic floor, transverse abdominis, internal and external obliques, and multifidus muscles. So officially that’s not even  your “abs,” which typically refers to just your rectus abdominis (the sixpack). These deep core muscles work together to provide support and stability for your entire body. 

The muscles of the deep core not only provide postural control, they also facilitate a smooth transfer of power between your limbs, as well as your upper and lower body. Meaning a strong core will help you make smooth transitions, whether you are on your feet, your hands or all fours. During this 25 hr module you will truly discover your deep core, how it works, how it integrates and how it will support your practice and that of your students.

After finishing the module, you will be eligible to receive a certificate for 25 hours of Continuing Education with Yoga Alliance.

This 25-hour module is part of the 300-hour Modern Vinyasa Teacher Training. You can participate by registering for the full 300-hour program, the 'Core' bundle (which includes the two modules about the core), or as a standalone module. It is advisable to have completed the first module about the core 'Restore Your Core,' before enrolling in this one.
