Core Yoga
Yoga and Pilates-inspired core work for strength and stability
Core Yoga combines traditional yoga with Pilates-inspired core strengthening exercises. The practice develops stability, strength and spinal support, helping you build a strong, steady foundation that supports everyday movement and other activities.
What Is Core Yoga?
Core Yoga brings together yoga postures and Pilates-inspired core work in a single practice.
The Pilates elements focus on the deep muscles that support the spine, pelvis and posture, while the yoga elements bring mobility, breath and awareness. Together, they create a practice that builds strength from the inside out.
