CONSCIOUS CORE: BUILDING "CORE" STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE

CONSCIOUS CORE: 
BUILDING "CORE" STRENGTH AND RESILIENCE

JULY 22, 1-4

Do you want to feel supported, connected, and strong? Navigating the twists and turns of life with a greater sense of adaptability?

Cultivate your “Core.”

Join Leslie St. John, of Prose and Poses, for a “Core” Yoga and Writing Workshop.

Saturday| July 22 | 1-4 pm | $40 (10% off for SDY Members)

The core is what supports us physically in our bodies and spiritually in our lives. But what is “core”? More than the ridged armor of muscles displayed on fitness magazines, core is the lumbo-pelvic-hip complex, and is integral to nearly every movement we make.

If we are weak in our core, our lower back suffers, our digestive fire wanes, and our sense of self may go wandering outside of us—leaving us feeling unsupported, disconnected, maybe even lost.

This built-in support system of “Core” is always available to us, so long as we are conscious of it and cultivate it.

Whether you have an advanced yoga practice and want to strengthen core awareness in your asanas, or you’re new to yoga and want to feel sveltefor summer, this workshop is for you.  Using yoga asana/movement, writing, meditation, and self-massage, you will meet your Core.

In building the 3 layers of “Core” Strength and Resilience, you will:

EXPLORE basic Core anatomy
LEARN key Core functions
DISCOVER your spiritual Core
EXPERIENCE Core integration


Gifts for you! 
Core anatomy handout
10 “stop-and-drop”core exercises
“Sacred 7” tools for cultivating your spiritual core


Let’s get conscious about “Core” to improve our yoga poses—and our lives!
 

*We encourage prior yoga experience, but it is not required. 

SPACE IS LIMITED. REGISTER EARLY!
