Where the hell did my core go!?

What is core stability and why is it important?

What does it take to establish a connection to your core?

These are questions people with spinal cord injuries often ask themselves and their therapists but rarely get a straight answer. In this class, Rachel will cover all of these questions and more! She will discuss what muscles make up the core, how to access those muscles through breath and movement, and how a strong core can help with everyday activities, posture, and seated/standing balance. The first half of this workshop will be a lecture followed by a movement session.

Class Prep: For exercises covered in the movement portion, you can either remain seated or transfer to a bed/floor space. Optional equipment include a small weight, a long rolled up towel (or half of a foam roller), and an anchored theraband.
