Don’t be fooled by yoga’s low-intensity allure. Not only is this ancient practice revered for its mental benefits, but experts agree it’s also one of the most effective ways to build strength, balance and mobility. Not convinced? A 2018 review conducted by Harvard Medical School found that regular yoga can significantly strengthen the core muscles that support spinal health and posture.
Yoga builds strength in a way that’s functional, sustainable and works with your breath - not against it. You’re not just doing crunches. In this class, you’re building deep stability through the pelvic floor, transverse abdominis and even the diaphragm.
Yoga flows for core strength are far more versatile than you might think. Yes, they’re brilliant for toning, but they’re also ideal if you’re:
*Postnatal: These flows help gently re-engage the pelvic floor and transverse abdominis, crucial for recovery.
*A beginner: They’re low-impact, breath-led and build body awareness.
*An athlete: For runners, cyclists and gym-goers, yoga builds balance and strengthens underused muscles, particularly around the hips and glutes.
*Living with back pain: Yoga helps stabilize the lumbar spine without putting extra pressure on it.
*In perimenopause or menopause: The breath/core connection can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, easing anxiety and hormonal symptoms.
And it’s not just about physical change. You will start to feel more confident in their bodies. It’s not just about how strong you are, it’s how connected you feel.
