Yoga Tip: Seriously Intense Ab Exercise

If you're working on core strength, or trying to tone up in time for summer, this is an exercise you should try out. It should be done three to five times with brief rests between sets. Tip: Make sure your butt is in line with your body (the tendency is for the butt to either sink really low or be up really high). Hope you enjoy! 

PS: I wrote an article about what to bring to yoga teacher training that was published on Do You Yoga, a gooey peanut butter oatmeal recipe, and a playlist for cardio exercise.

Yoga Tip: Yoga for Sculpted Abs

Core strength is essential for a number of yoga poses so I thought I'd put together a routine for abs. I made an ab video in the past, but this one is a little more intense. It's just under 10 minutes, and while you might feel discomfort (does anyone enjoy the lactic acid feeling in their abs?!), you will notice improved core strength with consistent practice. Let me know how it goes. And as always, if you have any questions or suggestions about what you'd like to see on the blog, feel free to get in touch.
