Yoga to the Core

Introduction

Add a core focus to your yoga classes with strong sequences of asanas that will

build core strength. Help your participants develop strength, endurance and

flexibility in this powerful blend of yoga postures. Learn yoga sequences to bring

awareness to the core, strengthen the core through integrated movement

sequences and release undue stress that limits the core from optimal function.
