Strengthening the core for beginners

love this. You are hardcore Adela!

Thank you Adela, really enjoyed the class and some great reminders and tips :-)

Thank you Adela! I’m starting again with yoga classes, first from home ?

Great class. Any suggestions to protect shoulder during side plank?

Great class, Thank you

Thank you, Adela. I noticed more core strength when doing the second set of standing poses. I'm not a beginner, and this was still challenging and very good.

This is good stuff!

Thank you Adela! It was helpful to be reminded about keeping my weight even on my heel in the standing poses. Short and sweet and challenging.

I was impressed that I was able to do the side lifts without too much difficulty and I think your approach of not doing too many repetitions at once made this more tolerable for me. I really like your instruction style, Adela. Thank you!

This practice made me really focus on my core in the standing postures which I don't always do, and the side lifts were a great way of engaging those particular muscles. I have a inkling I will feel this tomorrow! Thank you Adela!

Thank you Adela. Nice short class to start a busy week. I love your classes.

I enjoyed your class. It was challenging for me at times, but the "easier" warrior intervals, made it doable and pleasant. Thank you :)

Thank you, Adela.

Hi, Adela. Thank you for this practice. I have a question about the side planks - my foreams do not lie flat on the mat and when I lift, I feel all of the pressure just going into my elbow. How can I modify this so that I am actually using all of my forearm? Thanks! Daniella

Great reminders for any yogi that wants to reconnect with their inner strength. Gracias 'wuapa'!

Excellent & energizing! Thank you.

Hello, Several times' on different days now' I wanted to follow the ´´strengthening the core lessons'´ . There is a bug there: i.e. At intervals of two to five seconds the sound and the images are arrested for seconds, restarting for another few seconds, and so on indefinitely. Impossible to follow. I checked other sites and it looks as if this only happens on your site. So it's nothing on my device. Would you kindly see what can be done about this. Have other users mentioned the same bug? Thank you for looking into it and advise us

Great even if you are experienced - great attention and awareness to details for perfect and safe alignment. Love your clear instructions and options given in every pose. Will do the full programme and enjoy my strenght building from within. Namaste

Thanks for this Adela. I'm not a beginner and until recently was a regular gym goer where I did frequent core workouts. I thought this would be fairly easy but I found it challenging and as the day progressed I have been feeling the muscle ache round my middle develop! I obviously need to work on my core more and will be repeating this class quite a lot in the coming weeks :)

i loved it! thank you

Namasté Adela

Hello, what do you recommend to do after the classes as a cool down/stretch exercise?

Hi wow my core needs work. I plan to do this class several times before moving on. Is it ok to use a pillow as i don't have a rectangular bolster? Thanks

great class :] Thank you!

Thank you Adela; I liked much this sense of building my abdomen strength from inside: this gradual and little by little strength which makes you focus on "your centre".

Adele, Thanks for another great class! You are my inspiration. These are excellent poses and very relaxing. Thank you for the healing and good spirit!

As a beginner I found this quite tough! How many times do you think I'd need to repeat this before moving to the next class...?

Nice

I loved your groundedness and clarity, thank you for a peaceful yet strengthening class x

This was a good workout. I could feel my heart rate was raised and I felt challenged. Looking forward to continuing with this programme.

Even as someone that has moderate yoga experience, I found this to be such a nice class of fundamentals. Exactly what I needed, Thank you!

Helpful and definitely worth repeating probably more than once. I especially liked Adela's encouraging approach

Thank you for this class. Is it a problem that i don't have and therefore use the side-bords? I wish you a nice day. My best regards Wendy

Thank you. I enjoyed that. I have been doing yoga for many years but recently have not been able to practise regularly and am getting weaker. This is good for me and you are very clear.

Thanks, great attention is given to proper alignment!

I really enjoyed this practice. I look forward to checking out more. I have a question about the plank set up. In particular the hand placement. My wrists always kill me in plank, I found this method to be much easier on my wrists, is that the intention? I always thought "wrists under shoulders." Your set up felt so much better. Thanks!

Thanks. I could really feel all through the day that I had woken up the lower abdominals. Feeling stronger just after 2 day :)

Hi Adela, thanks for a nice class. I've done yoga before, but it is nice to be able to start as a beginner and it surprised me that it was more challenging than I thought it wold be. Namaste!

Great class. Thanks Adela.

Adela - Thank you for a lovely class. The information about little modifications was most helpful.

Hi Adela, should I do some warm up (like few sun salutations) before class?

A good simple class that does exactly what it says on the box : strengthening the core. I agree that the cues aren't always clear if we can't watch the screen at the same time. But once you've done the class once, you know what you're doing and it's not an issue anymore.

Thanks Adela, chubby me broke a sweat and felt better for it. Pierre

Awesome thank you!

Really enjoyed it. I like the toughness of it

This is a great class and I’m going to work to be able to complete it without taking breaks. Wonderful teacher!

Thanks Adela - nice pace to the class

I liked the class. I'm recovering from a knee injury and need to strengthen core and legs

this is not an easy class. And it is not for beginners.

Thanks so much.

When you are using cues like 'here', 'there', 'like this', it becomes very difficult to follow for me because I have to keep on looking at the screen. It would work better if the cues were more specific using body parts and directions
