A playful core and hip practice using a block to build awareness and create a sense of instability, so the body can reorganise itself, for better awareness of the body in space (proprioception) and work the feet, ankles, knee ands hips to support better resilience.

Grab a Pilates ball (or block) and give your abdominals and glutes a little hug of strength

This begins with a little glute activation before we move into a strong flow that stretches adductors and hamstrings, some fun transitions and we interweave some conscious gentle breathing. We play with balance a bit in this sequence so glute activation is essential to support the stability of balance.

I just LOVE core work and feeling strong from the inside out. Its a burn and sorry for the language! Pilates ball neededd.

I recorded this a few days after new year, I was tired but wanted to wake up a little a feel a bit strong. So we move the spine, connect to the core and mobilise the hips a little.

14 minute core blast that I named ‘gentle’ strength because I feel this work is very deep but isn’t overly intense in the sense of it requiring a huge amount of energy or aggression. I was inspired by the name from the manipura chakra, the idea of the naval area as relating to fire, not a blazing inferno but a gentle warming hearth.

My favourite blend – quick, little intense at times, steady, grounding and moving into other patterns we don’t often focus on, it’s so necessary for our joints and muscles  to move outside our ordinary habit’s (and that includes our yoga practice).  We focus on rotation and inner thighs.  We isolate and then flow through a little vinyasa sequence.
