Flow. 50: Sphinx Stuff and Deep Core Control

Aired -

Jill Rodgers

I dabbled in so many forms of movement growing up (skating, dance, volleyball), but it wasn't until a friend dragged me to a yoga class in the early aughts that I was able to fully connect with myself. I remember...
Spinal work galore as we tap into the deep front and deep back core muscles, aka the Transverse Abdominis (TrA). The TrA connects to our front and back halves, and connects the rib cage and the pelvis. Practice positioning the torso in space against the pull of gravity in diagonal lunges, sphinx roll-ups, and top-to-tail spinal rolls. Two blocks and some extra floor space recommended.
