📢 Engage your core. You’ve heard it! We’ve said it, BUT what does it actually mean?! 🤔
In our minds, we layer it in three parts:
👖 First, the jeans. Even with the low-rise era here, we are thinking of that one much-loved snug pair in the back of the closet you gotta wiggle a little to get into. That feeling of everything drawing in and coming together at the centre with a zip. Snug, solid and safe, which is what that form will make you in class. Holding you exactly where you need to be
Second, we tie it. Think apron, you’re the chef. Imagine tying one around the front to back. Ribs coming down to the belly button as you tie it neatly together. A gentle but firm wrap that cinches everything in and keeps it there.
And then the third: squeeze that b***y (we’ll let you find your own visual for that one 😉)
Three contractions, layered together, and that’s what locks your pelvis into place.
This is the cue you want running through your mind the moment your legs start to shake, the moment you’re deep in standing work or balancing on one leg, wondering how much longer you can hold it. Because that shake is normal; your body working hard is normal. But losing this? That’s when things go sideways. That’s when you fall. That’s when you get hurt; nobody wants that
Three simple contractions, and suddenly your whole class stands a little steadier, and you are safe on that torture machine we know and love.
