Book your spot on Robin's 4-Week Core Strength Conditioning Workshop Series today!

The exciting workshop series starts on Saturday, March 5th 2022 from 9:30 AM - 10:45 AM. It is $200 for members and $220 for non-members.

Overview

Learn how to effectively strengthen your core and train the muscles in your pelvis, lower back, hips and abdomen to work together. Core strength conditioning is a key component for any well-rounded fitness program or any movement practice. The core is much more than your abs - it is the integrated function of the whole body working together in harmony.

What to expect

Core conditioning is vital for body mobility and stability, good posture, injury prevention and alleviation of lower back pain. The workshop will help you improve your balance, enhance your core stability on the playing field or in many sports such as golf, squash and tennis. Strong core muscles are important for runners as weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.

• A well-rounded vinyasa practice.
• 45-minute practice featuring a variety of core-based exercises designed to maximize the recruitment of your muscular core.
• Exercises targeting the six-pack and crunching the obliques on the sides of your rib cage.
• Featured poses include the plank, plank variations, reverse plank, forearm plank, Dolphin, Boat pose, 3- legged Dog, 1-legged plank, Russian twists, twisting poses to strengthen the side body and glute extensions. 
• Exercises will also be used to strengthen the back core through targeted backbends and heart openers.
