Core & Twisting Iyengar Yoga Workshop

On Saturday 24th October from 10am until 12 noon I will be teaching a workshop at The Emmaus Centre in Thorley, Stortford focusing on core and twisting actions.

Benefits of a strong core:

  • Better posture (keeps you standing and sitting tall, without slouching)
  • Less back pain (the core supports your spine)
  • Fewer injuries (protects your body when you lift heavy things or move fast)
  • Improved balance (reduces likelihood of falls as you get older)
  • Stronger workouts (gives you more power for running, lifting & playing sports)

Benefits of twisting actions on the spine:

  • Rotational movements squeeze the intervertebral discs, and releasing the twist allows fresh, nutrient-rich blood and fluid to flow back in, helping prevent age-related degeneration
  • Enhanced Mobility (helping to preserve a full range of motion)
  • Decompression (properly aligned twists create physical space between the vertebrae, which realigns the spine and takes pressure off compressed spinal nerves)
  • Symmetry Restoration (most daily and athletic habits favour one side of the body; twisting introduces rotational variety that corrects muscular imbalances)
  • Digestion Support (the compression and release actions gently massage internal organs, which promotes healthy motility and assists the digestive tract)
