We tend to think of “core work” as a few rushed crunches at the end of class. But here’s the truth: your core isn’t just about abs—it’s the powerhouse of your body. It stabilises you in downward dog, fires up in chaturanga, and supports every twist, lift, and transition on the mat. More importantly, it’s what helps you stand taller, move better, and feel stronger both on and off the mat.
At Yoga Movement, we’re all about helping you feel the difference—not just in your flow, but in your everyday life. That’s why this May, our Progression Hour Monthly Focus is all about building a stronger, smarter, and more functional core.
May's Progression Hour Focus: CORE
Over 4 weeks, our instructors will guide you through targeted drills, layered movement patterns, and a whole lot of core-centric spice—building up to a unique peak pose each week that challenges your strength, control, and alignment.
Progression – Great for those newer to core training or looking to reinforce technique:
- Week 1: Bird Dog Plank – Stability meets control.
- Week 2: Fallen Triangle – Twist, reach, and fire up those obliques.
- Week 3: Locust Variation – Find lift through the back body.
- Week 4: Scale Pose – A balance of strength and finesse.
Progression + – Aimed at those ready to level up:
- Week 1: Extended Plank – Time under tension never felt so intense.
- Week 2: Flying Warrior – Strength in motion, grounded through the core.
- Week 3: King Cobra – Unlock control and power in spinal extension.
- Week 4: L-Sit – A true test of core power, arm strength, and grit.
No matter where you are in your practice, this month’s CORE focus is your chance to deepen your understanding of how your center supports everything. Because a strong core doesn’t just make you better at yoga—it makes you better at life.
So come through. Let’s get to the core of it.
