Now that you have learned how to breathe deeply and engage and strengthen the deep core muscles (bandhas) from the first two videos in this series, David shows you how to use these principles to stabilize the lower back and pelvis while stretching and doing some of the most common yoga poses. If you would like to start from the beginning, the first class in this series is The 3-Part Breath and Ujjayi Breathing and the second class is Integrating the Breath and the Bandhas. You can also find all three together in our program Establish Your Core Stability and Strength and on our Yoga for Beginners page.

So I have been practicing for 22ish years, and yet I am so happy I decided to do this class. It will make my practice better and stronger. Now I am off to do the previous class in the series. :-)

And I'd like to second that. Exactly what I thought I need to share. Thank you, David, again and always for the amazingly rich yet so crucial lines of instruction. <3

This was great! My posture has improved and the pain in my calf and hip has subsided since I did these 3 classes yesterday. I am amazed that I have been able to remind myself to maintain the posture, I usually forget and slump. Thank you!

Thank you! I can see how much core strength can happen during yoga now by practicing this! I found it very hard to maintain all at once. the turning of the thighs in and the biceps hard to get, and maintaining pelvic floor. I assume that to continue to practice this set of 3 videos many times will help.
