Hello and welcome to Yoga with Jaina where I teach you how to practice yoga on and off the yoga mat.
So today we are on the yoga mat and I am going to take you through a ten minute yoga ab workout to strengthen your core. When we work on the core we strengthen the abdominal muscles, the oblique muscles as well as the back muscles. A good strong core will help you to maintain a good posture and to feel physically and mentally strong. Finally when we work with the core you will feel a sense of heat develop in the body as the core is the fire centre. This aids digestion and also develops mental fire, passion, determination and motivation. So this is a great physical and mental workout!
Ensure you are practicing on an empty stomach and I would advise you to do a short warm up before going into these postures. You can use my warm up video here to help you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_UaT…
