This is a live excerpt of a recording during a yoga enrichment teacher training lecture for a group of yogis studying to be teachers with Jes Rosenberg.

Personally, the less the term “core” is used, the better ;)

A strong core makes us more resilient and aligned. Our physical center is linked to emotional and spiritual elements of life. We need to create space, let go of the fruits of action and begin each moment again and again from our 'mindful strength'. Then we will be able to drop into awareness and cultivate balance, intelligence and 'mindful strength' beyond the mat in our daily lives.
