A strong core is ground zero for nearly all of the movements you do,\u2002in your practice and everyday life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In yoga, the core is sometimes called\u2002your source of gravity or power center. And,\u2002when this area is compromised, you may have trouble with balance, suffer from low back pain or not even be able to move well from pose to pose. On the contrary, a strong\u2002core is great for posture, stability and preventing injury to your back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want\u2002to develop real, useful strength, there are few better options than yoga. These seven core-work poses reach\u2002deep into the abdominals and back muscles to build a powerhouse midsection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Check out our <a href=\"https:\/\/ayuryogpeeth.com\/\">Yoga Teacher Training in India<\/a><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Boat Pose (Navasana)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Boat Pose\u2002is the ultimate yoga core strengthener. It requires concentration and stamina, while working the hip flexors and\u2002abs at the same time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Do It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin seated with knees\u2002bent and feet flat on the floor. Lean back a little, and use your core\u2002to sit up tall with a straight spine. Lift your feet from the floor\u2002until your shins are parallel to the mat. Press your arms forwards down along with your\u2002legs. For the full expression, extend legs straight and bring body into a\u2002V-shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>It works the rectus abdominis and\u2002hip flexors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improves balance and digestion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stimulates the kidneys and intestines.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Keep your chest up and do not\u2002round your lower back. Place feet lower (if you feel strain on your\u2002lower back); squeeze glutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modification:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep\u2002your knees bent and hands behind backs of thighs for support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Plank Pose (Phalakasana)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can&#8217;t discuss core strength without bringing\u2002up Plank Pose. It\u2019s a full-body stabilizer that trains you to marry your upper and lower body\u2002with a stable core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Do It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start on\u2002all fours. Walk your feet back one at a time,\u2002straightening your legs as you do so. Your\u2002shoulders should be directly above your wrists. Activate your quads and\u2002press your heels back. Pull your navel toward your spine to avoid\u2002opening up hips<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tones the entire abdominal wall.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthens wrists, arms, and shoulders.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Builds mental endurance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Imagine a straight line of energy running from the crown of your head to your heels. Don&#8217;t let your head drop; keep your gaze slightly forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modification:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Lower your knees to the mat while maintaining the straight line from knees to head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Side Plank (Vasisthasana)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Plank works the front body, while Side Plank hits the\u2002obliques \u2014 those muscles on the sides of your waist that are essential for rotation as well as stability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Do It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From Plank, press into the right hand and the\u2002small toe edge of your right foot. Place\u2002your left foot stacked on the right. Extend your left arm\u2002to the ceiling. Lift your hips high off\u2002the floor. Repeat on the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Builds strength in the obliques, arms\u2002and wrist.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Improves balance and concentration.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wrist and hamstring stretch\u2002(in advanced forms).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:\u2002<\/strong>Root down through the base hand to rise up away from the shoulder joint rather than collapsing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modification:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drop your bottom knee to the mat for more stability, or shift\u2002your feet rather than stacking them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Chair Pose (Utkatasana)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It seems as if Chair Pose\u2002would shape the legs, but when you are holding this pose properly, your core engages sharply to protect your lower back while simultaneously lengthening and lifting through the chest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Do It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Feet together or hip-width\u2002apart. Breathe in, reaching your\u2002arms up. Exhale and bend both knees, lowering your hips back and down as\u2002though sitting in an imaginary chair. Your weight is back in\u2002your heels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tones\u2002the lower back and transverse abdominis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthens the\u2002thigh, ankle and calf muscles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stimulates the heart and diaphragm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Draw the tailbone in toward your\u2002back to lengthen the lower back while remaining in a neutral spine position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modification:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Bring hands in prayer at your heart center if keeping arms over head produces shoulder\u2002tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Forearm Plank (Dolphin Plank)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Forearm Plank can be even\u2002more intense for the abs than a standard plank, because it removes the triceps from the equation and forces the core to work harder. A standard see-and-do pose taught in many <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/maharishiyogapeeth.com\/\">yoga teacher training<\/a><\/strong>, since it is effective\u2002for building the stability necessary for inversions such as Sirsasana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Do It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Begin\u2002on all fours. Lower forearms to floor, elbows in\u2002line with shoulders. Either interlock your fingers, or keep the palms\u2002flat. Step\u2002your feet backward to straighten the legs. Engage your glutes and core.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deeply targets the transverse abdominis.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Builds shoulder\u2002and upper back strength without wrist strain.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Opens\u2002the body for arm balances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Keep drawing your forearms down and slightly away to\u2002widen your upper back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modification:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Just like in the plank position, you can drop your knees to the mat and keep your\u2002core engaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Three-Legged Dog (Eka Pada Adho Mukha Svanasana)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This variation of Downward Facing Dog challenges your stability. Lifting one leg forces the deep stabilizing muscles of the core to fire to keep your hips level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Do It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Start in Downward Facing Dog. Inhale and lift your right leg up and back toward the ceiling. Keep your hips squared to the floor\u2014don&#8217;t let the right hip open up. Press equally into both hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Strengthens the lower back and abdominals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stretches the hamstrings and hip flexors.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Calms the nervous system.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Flex the foot of the lifted leg and point the toes toward the floor to help keep the hips squared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modification:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Don&#8217;t lift the leg as high. Focus on stability rather than height.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Scale Pose (Tolasana)<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This next seated balance is advanced and it takes a good deal of core compression strength to\u2002perform. It\u2019s not easy, but the practice\u2002is still firing up your midsection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Do It<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sit on the ground cross legged (traditionally, but simple cross works also if that\u2002is easy for you). Your hands\u2002should be on the floor next to your hips. with an exhalation contract your pelvic floor\u2002(mula bandha) and belly muscles (uddiyana bandha), press firmly into the hands, sending the hips and legs up away from the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Builds explosive core strength.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strengthens wrists and arms.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Increases body awareness and control.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip:<\/strong> Lean forward one or two degrees as you push down\u2002on your feet to help counterbalance the weight of your legs and glutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Modification:\u2002<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep your feet on the floor, lifting only your hips. Or place yoga blocks under your hands for additional lift.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Deepening Your Practice<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Strong core requires time,\u2002practise and patience to build. If you practice these seven poses\u2002several times a week, you will see improvement in the stability and posture of your body. And remember \u2014 core strength isn\u2019t just for\u2002vanity, it\u2019s about supporting and acting as the prime vessel for the things you want to do in your life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re curious\u2002about the anatomy of movement and want to find out more on how these muscles work together, there are educational opportunities.
