Core Awareness
Enhancing Yoga, Pilates, Exercise and Dance

$18.95

Core Awareness is an innovative body-oriented approach designed to increase strength, flexibility, and resilience. Internationally known somatic educator and author Liz Koch describes the fundamental principles and practice of moving from one’s core, and highlights the importance of engaging the psoas muscle-located on either side of the spine-to integrate the body, mind, emotions, and spirit. Through simple movements, stretches, and mindfulness explorations that bring focus and attention to inner sensation, readers will deepen their relationship to core structures, including the psoas muscle, pelvis, and bones.

Core Awareness is also available as an e-book on Amazon Kindle and Apple iBooks.
