Ignite Your Core: A Summer Virtual Event to Enhance Core Strength
What’s your core? And why is it so important?
Core muscles are the deep and superficial muscles of the abdomen, lower back, pelvis, and hips that stabilize the spine and pelvis and coordinate movement. They include the transverse abdominis, multifidus, pelvic floor, diaphragm, and obliques, along with hip stabilizers. Healthy core function supports posture, balance, breathing, and efficient movement, reduces strain on joints, and helps prevent low back pain.
As we age, core strength and coordination naturally decline, increasing fall risk, limiting mobility, and making daily tasks—like rising from a chair, carrying groceries, or bending—harder and more painful. Maintaining or restoring core stability through targeted, gentle exercises improves balance, preserves independence, reduces injury risk, and enhances overall quality of life.
What you will experience
A balanced blend of common core exercises and accessible yoga postures, thoughtfully adapted for chair, floor, and standing variations, with an emphasis on proper body alignment and breathing to promote safety and reduce strain.
Who this is for
Anyone who wants to learn how core muscles work and why they matter; specific yoga poses you can do seated, on the floor, or standing; and simple adaptations of common core exercises like planks and sit-ups so you can practice at your current level and progress at your own pace.
