If your core work is causing pain in your lower back, hip flexors, or shoulders and neck, the problem isn't weakness. It's the wrong muscles doing the job.
When the deep core doesn't engage, the body assigns the work to something else. And if you keep pushing through, it's like missing your turn and thinking if you keep driving, you'll somehow
get back on track. You won't.
This episode breaks down why compensation patterns form, how to release the muscles that are overworking, and how to rebuild core stability from a place of ease โ not effort.
The sequence: release first. Engage second. That's not a modification.
That's building a foundation.
This is Episode 3 of the Unshakeable Core series.

โ About Alison Starr.
Welcome to my channel! Iโm Alison and I help women feel strong, steady, and at home in their bodies.
If youโve practiced yoga for years but lately it leaves you sore, stiff, or unsatisfiedโyouโre not alone. Your body is changing: muscle, hormones, recovery, energy. And your practice needs to evolve too.
Here youโll find science-backed, strength-infused, yoga-inspired movement for women 35โ65 who want to stay healthy, active, and strong through midlife and beyond. I blend yoga asana, strength training, movement science, functional breathing, and nervous-system strategies for smart and sustainable practice.
