Do This First!! The very first step in finding genuine structural stability is identifying the deepest locus of that structural stability. I call it the seed core, the housing for the center of gravity. The beginning, end and transfer point for all movement including breath. This is the Head Start program for all future core strength.

Part 2 of the Head Start Program for core stability. Dive into these experiential practices to lay the crucial foundation for successful core strength and trunk stability.

Begin the hollow body journey by creating the shape that will be the foundation for all future structural strength progressions.

Less is More and Slow is Fast! Tiny movements can give the deepest satisfaction. Begin with the center most stability in the seed core (the housing for our Center of Gravity!) the move to subtle activation of the internal and external obliques as extensions of the center-point awareness.

Progressing from Core Stability #1, we increase load demand and include the upper body with rib crunches and rib rotation using Hollow Body. We train the body to use the deep core structure and anterior trunk stabilizers and avoid defaulting to the overused back muscles.

The Hollow Body shape is the foundation of structural stability. How to build a Hollow Body into your practice can seem daunting, especially when if done without proper approach it can exacerbate low back jamming. Take the step by step approach to bring this foundational shape into your practice.

The essence of true stability is the ability to load through the trunk sufficiently that we are not dependent on the legs. Instead the legs are free to do the job of locomotion without dragging the pelvis and tugging on the lower back. In this sequence we explore the elements of trunk stability and increase demand with progressively difficult leg variations.
