Focus: Deep Core Connection

The core in yoga and tantric philosophy encompasses the whole center of the body, around the spine through the crown of your head. The fascial lines of the Deep Front Line (tom Myers’ Anatomy Trains) Run from the arches of your feet up the inner legs, into the pelvic floor and center body, thoracic spine and jaw.

All of this to say: the core is way more than abs! For the next while, we will focus on aspects of these connections.

Physically, learning to connect to and move from the midline can help with pain in joints and the outer body, including “storage centers” like hips and shoulders. Energetically it can help us digest and integrate both our literal food and the energetic food of our experiences and relationships, and give us felt sense of our own internal anchor so we are less likely to overextend our capacity.

Centering in the subtle aspects can allow us to release control and stay in relationship with ourselves and the same time.
