Yoga Core Strength | Gentle Knee Lift Practice | 2 Minutes

In this short 2-minute Yoga practice, we focus on gentle core strength using a simple standing knee lift exercise. This movement helps strengthen the core muscles, improve balance, support posture, and build stability in a gentle, accessible way.

Perfect for beginners, anyone recovering from injury, or those who want to build core strength without getting down on the floor or doing planks.

Move slowly, focus on your balance, and breathe steadily as you build strength and stability from the inside out.

This exercise may not be suitable if you have certain heart conditions or medical concerns, so do check with your doctor if needed.

Move gently, and stop if anything doesn’t feel right.

Transcript

So welcome to this video where we start on all fours. And this exercise helps to strengthen your core muscles. Very important to help support your back and the whole of your body. So we start on all fours and tuck the toes if you're able. I know some people can't. That's OK. It's harder that way, Though. If you've got any wrist issues, You can go onto your fist. Tuck the toes and lift the knees off the floor. So you're trying to stay relatively low to the floor. Lots of people tend to do that. That's not working your core so much. Closer to the floor if you can. When you need to, You can drop down. So ideally you'll be able to hold that for at least 30 seconds. If yours is less than that, I strongly recommend you make this a daily practice. Your call messages are so important. And particularly if you've got any back issues. When you've had enough, You can drop down and come back up again. I can rest. Into child's pose, Bum toward the heels. So practice that over time so you can get up to one minute and then you can start progressing into the more challenging planks. Thank you for watching. My name's Sandhya.
