The core is more than the abdominal muscles.
It includes deep stabilising muscles that support the spine, protect the lower back, improve posture, and create a strong frame for the joints and internal organs. When the core is functioning well, movement becomes more efficient, and the body experiences less strain.
Yoga approaches core strength from the inside out. Rather than isolating muscles, it works with integrated movement, breath, and resistance using your own body weight. This builds lean, functional strength that supports everyday life, not just specific exercises.
I’ve been practising the same asanas since I first got introduced to Yoga in 2009. Yoga is not about trends, but about consistency, integration, and allowing the body to adapt over time. What develops is not only strength, but awareness: posture improves, stability becomes natural, and movement feels more balanced.
It is about the long run, not shortcuts. This is something you come to understand with time. Looking after your body, chasing a healthy body is not an act of vanity, but an act of self-love.
My journey with Yoga started with my pregnancy: carrying multiple back issues, I was advised by my doctor to start pregnancy yoga to reinforce my back. I am forever fascinated by the human body, but particularly the female body. Creating a life inside you is one of the most wonderful experiences. Like many other women, I questioned how my body would be after pregnancy; what would happen to my tummy? Would my body shape change drastically? Yoga taught me patience. I waited to get back into yoga and gave my body time to readjust after experiencing such a massive change. And a consistent, gentle yoga practice built strength from the inside, creating a base that has stayed with me since.
A healthy body supports a healthy mind. When the foundation is stable, the nervous system settles, and the body can move with greater ease and longevity.
Improving our mobility, strength, and resistance helps us with our everyday tasks. Repeated patterns during a period of time can lead to injuries or misalignment; A good posture and a strong body are a foundation for a healthy mind and a healthy life.
