If there is one thing we have learned in our yoga practice it is that everything is connected. We traditionally think of "the core" being the space between our ribcage and pelvis; and usually the front of the abdomen. In our exploration of the core we have found ways to identify and strengthen our front core muscles, our back core muscles, our deep front core muscles. This week we will expand our view of "the core" to include the pelvic girdle as it is the foundation of everything above it. The pelvis connects to all of the traditional core muscles one way or the other. The pelvic tilt is determined by our Hip Flexors and our Hip Extensors. We want them to work together, equally strong and supple. However, our 'head forward syndrome' with too much sitting has led to shortened, tight hip flexors (psoas and more) and weak overstretched hip extensors (hamstrings). We'll focus on Hamstring strengthening and Hip extensor opening.
