CORE FUNDAMENTALS
Wednesdays from Apr 18 to June 6 at 5:15 pm

Have you resolved to strengthen your core? Maybe a bout of back or shoulder pain, or a desire for better athletic performance has prompted this committment. Banish images of endless crunches and gruelling boot camp techniques! Yoga to the rescue! In this course, we will explore the proper and efficient functioning of your core muscles; you will learn to command them to fire and then feel them energize your yoga postures.

The course will draw from strength training and pilates, as well as relaxation and other therapeutic techniques. It is suggested that you bring 2 - 3 pound hand weights and 1 lb ankle weights to enhance your muscular stability.

Open and adaptable to all bodies. A special invitation to those who may be nervous to try regular fitness style core classes is extended.

This is the perfect time to bring yoga into your life! There's lots of reasons from stress relief, to toning muscles to deepening your athletic endurance. The practice is so much more than just those physical benefits. To learn about the "real" yoga, and appreciate it's 5000 year history, this course will provide an introduction from which you can build a lifelong discovery of your own!

Participants should be in average physical health with no serious illness or physical limitations. No special equipment is necessary; just come in clothing that will allow movement. Current yoga practitioners may find the course interesting in order to deepen their understanding of why things are done certain ways.
