What is the Core?
It is much more than the abdominal muscles. Discover your physical and energetic center along with the deep layers of the core, in this online workshop. We will review and discuss core anatomy, applied pranayama, and spinal alignment through the combined lenses of a yoga therapist, physical therapist, athletic trainer, and strength and conditioning specialist. We will learn through lecture and movement, with frequent posture and breathing breaks to experience the concepts. Move therapeutically while you earn continuing education hours!

"Liz Duncansonâs course is a remarkable blend of physiotherapy, athletic training and yoga. I would recommend this to health care professionals/yoga therapists who appreciate a deep dive into core anatomy and physiology with a substantial dose of yoga philosophy. Lizâs evidence-based presentation includes detailed images as well as active practical drills, making it engaging from start to finish. If you are considering an online training module, this is time and money well-spent. âď¸ âď¸ âď¸ âď¸ âď¸ "
