If you are just getting into the practice, you likely have already realized how much core strength is required for yoga.
I know that I didn’t realize how much core strength was required in yoga until I started my practice. I sure learned that fast though…
You need strength in your arms and your legs as well, but the core is the powerhouse that controls your balance and ease in and out of different poses. These yoga poses all work a variety of muscles, but the key is to focus on the core.
Always keep the core engaged by tightening the abs.
Remember to use your core as the source of strength for these poses, rather than leaning into your arms, shoulders, back, or legs too much.
Yoga can be a great workout, but you also have to WORK for it.
My recommendation is to do these exercises on their own or also just hold them for an extra 30-60 seconds before moving on to the next pose.
