Core Connection
Teach core stability with greater confidence, clarity and impact
2-hour CPD Workshop for Yoga Teachers
Drawing on 14 years of experience, I'll share the key concepts and exercises that help my students unlock greater strength, stability, body awareness and confidence.
Fine tune your understanding of functional core stability, improve your core strength, and better support your students in feeling stronger, more connected and empowered, with less pain and discomfort.
What is ‘core stability’?
Is it as simple as “drawing the navel back to the spine”?
Do ‘sit ups’ give you a strong core?
There are a wealth of misconceptions around the subject of core stability, especially in the movement world with outdated cueing being all too common, and many mistaking a firmly-held abdomen for a strong and functional core.
Our core complex is a network of several interconnected, interactive parts; deep and superficial muscles working together as a whole to support functional movement, and fascia playing a key stabilising role.
How can we improve our students’ theoretical and experiential understanding of the ‘core’?
What strength practices can we integrate into our classes to support the longevity of our students’ asana practice, so it stays healing and doesn’t become harmful?
Do we need more strength and stability in our own bodies as yoga professionals?
“I have ‘searched’ for the missing link in a recovering postpartum body and Pilates has helped restore my core & brought much awareness to my pelvic floor. Combined with yoga it’s the perfect balance between strength, stretch, and of course, breath. ‘East meets West’… I’m finding Yogalates to be just what I need.”
We’ll dive into the anatomy of the core, and practice specific exercises that powerfully engage the body’s deeper, stabilising muscles, including abdominals, glutes, spine, hips and shoulders.
The result?
A full body conditioning approach, using intelligent Pilates techniques to move from a connected centre. 💪

Meet your teacher
My name is Beth and I am London's leading teacher in Solomon Yogalates.
I trained with Louise Solomon (founder of Yogalates) in 2014, receiving a 500 hour qualification in this official blend of Yoga and Pilates. In 2016 I gained my advanced 500 hour Hatha yoga teacher qualification on the foothills of the Himalayas in India, and since then have continued to expand my skillset, learning from esteemed teachers such as Norman Blair, Tiffany Cruikshank, Leslie Kaminoff and Bernie Clark, to name a few.
I am passionate about helping students improve their posture, breathing, strength, flexibility and overall wellbeing through Yogalates.
I believe that Pilates and resistance training can be of huge benefit to yoga students keen to maintain healthy mobility and a sustainable practice in the long term.
My goal is to share this message with yoga teachers around the world.
