CORE & SPINE LOVE

“You are only as young as your spine is flexible.” ~ Joseph Pilates

A strong core and a healthy spine go hand in hand. Visualize the muscles of your core, which include your abdominals, back, and glutes, as a natural girdle supporting your spine. Keeping these muscles strong and supple will protect your spine, improve your posture, maintain and improve alignment, and help you avoid lower back pain.

Taking the time to focus specifically on strengthening and lengthening your center will keep your spine as healthy as possible. Try this week’s classes and see how great you feel!

FEATURED POSE: BOW

Bow Pose (Dhanurasana)

Bow pose is a complex backbend posture that works against gravity, and is powerful in strengthening the muscles of the back. Bow requires a powerful and equal kick of the legs and lift of the heart for an invigorating and even backbend and shoulder opening.

Benefits:
- Stretches the shoulders, chest, abdominals, hip flexors, and quadriceps
- Strengthens the major muscle groups of the back and buttocks
- Opens the heart
- Improves posture
- Healing for low back pain

Modifications:
- If you have lower back pain, you can perform Bow, while keeping your quadriceps on the ground, and lift only the chest. This will allow for similar benefits of the pose, without putting the lower back into a possibly compromising position.
- Use a strap around your feet or ankles, and hold that, instead of your legs, if obtaining the full hands to feet grip is straining.

Chakras:
Bow pose activates and balances the Heart Chakra (Anahata). This is the energy center of love, acceptance, compassion, and forgiveness. Performing bow pose can make you feel more lighthearted, loving, kind, and accepting. It is also a helpful pose to overcome challenges forgiving people or processing grief.
