- How you can harness your power emotionally and physically!
- Heal, activate & strengthen muscles of the pelvic diaphragm and pelvic floor. Hugely beneficial for men and women. These muscles are part of our deep core muscles.
Who is this for? This is for you if you are interested in…
- revolutionizing your practice!
- reaping “work-out” benefits from Yoga with all the joy of an amazing practice
- building your self-esteem and confidence, energetically and physically.
- learning anatomically intelligent ways to move.
- supporting every muscle, bone and joint during a full-on Yoga practice.
- building real strength rather than “throwing” yourself into poses or relying on your flexibility.
Core Strength: Who, when, what, where, why?
Core Strength Vinyasa (created by Sadie Nardini) includes a “core Yoga breath” -which is muscularly the equivalent of doing a sit-up every breath. Besides the obvious benefits of a toned abdomen the benefits of spinal support is practice-changing!
The CSV technique engages the deeper core muscles (rather than superficial external muscles) in every single pose and transition! The body is absolutely supported in a stress and strain free way. The joints are better protected, the shoulders & back are given space and protection.
This is a revolutionary practice. You will be able to go further in a loving kind way for your body. It also builds heat in body and you will feel your face glow!
A beautiful surprise with this practice is that it powerful energizes the 1,2nd and third Chakras. (without any further effort or “special sequencing”)
I adore this practice. It makes so much sense anatomically! The 20 hour teacher training was fantastic for my evolution as a teacher and I have tapped into a wealth of knowledge. I really looking forward to sharing some of these techniques with you in upcoming classes and workshops. Watch this space!
Try the Core Strength Workshop to fully absorb this technique and ingrain it in your practice.
