Access this free class

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 interesting to go back to the very basics and find them so challenging. This is exciting work!

Hi David, just wanted to say that taking the time to re-visit the bandhas, with the three poses was really rewarding. I didn't realise how much I wasn't engaging the bandhas as I am naturally quite flexible.
It's a whole new level of practice!
Thank you, Dee
Ps, I find child pose very restrictive to breathe ... is that normal?

Thanks, DeeLish!
Yes, child's pose compresses the ribs so it does restrict the breath.
Take care,
David
