Yoga for a Strong Core: Strengthening Your Abdominal Muscles

Plank Pose engages core muscles, held for strength and alignment.

Boat pose targets the rectus abdominis and hip flexors. Balance on your sit bones and lift your legs and upper body off the ground, forming a V shape

Similar to the plank pose, this variation engages the core, especially the transverse abdominis. Support your body on your forearms and toes.

This pose targets the obliques, helping to strengthen the sides of your core. Balance on one arm and the outer edge of one foot while lifting your hips.

Twists work the obliques and help to improve flexibility and strength in the core.

Always maintain proper alignment and engage your core muscles during these poses.

Over time, you'll notice increased core strength and improved overall stability and balance.
