Adding the prop provides an extra layer to the pose in that it will engage the muscles of the thighs. This engagement will help to engage the muscles of the core beginning with the pelvis, then up through the low belly and to the naval space.
Working with a yoga block to build strength and deepen our connection to the core, I’ll guide you through supported curl-ups and show you how engaging the thighs around the block activates the muscles from your pelvis all the way to your navel. Whether you have a foam block, a towel, or a folded blanket, you’ll be able to join in and feel the difference this simple prop can make. Let’s breathe, move, and build strength—together.
