Happy Monday, friends! We’re starting off the week with a serious core exercise you can do with a yoga block (or really anything you have around the house) to build up strength. Core strength is so much more than a six pack! Increased core strength may help with posture, may prevent back issues, and of course will help with your physical yoga practice.
