Core Foundations and Mastery of Breath

What's Included in this Course: Core Foundations and Mastery of Breath

In this course we explore the fusion and application of Core into Asana as pioneered by Louise Solomon in 1993.  We cover the history and evolution of the breath as it has evolved with the Pilates and Yogalates Methods plus incorporating the Josephine Key (Physiotherapist) 'Key Method' of core breathing and functional movement. 

There's an intricate understanding provided on the Core muscles as well as supporting muscles.  Learn these muscles other roles and how they inter-play OR interfere with Core.  Depending on their balance in strength and tone effects trunk stability, alignment and the efficiency and functionality of breath.

A functional breath supports students that present with asthma, anxiety, depression, cardiovascular and respiratory conditions. Improving diaphragmatic rhythm impacts the nervous system aiding the relationship between digestive and mental health.

We explore the 4 x Functional Pelvic Patterns, Neutral Spine positioning and Intra-Abdominal Pressure (IAP) Breathing to understand how each of these are necessary to initiate Core in movement.  We provide you with a sound application of the foundations of Core and Breath in other planes of movement within asana and mat exercises (standing, supine, seated, All 4s, side lying). This course can be applied to all movement based exercise programs.  Enhancing movement and breath in everyday life.

This course is suitable for qualified Yoga or Pilates teachers, Physiotherapists, Personal Trainers and movement therapists.
