Mindfulness Based Core Yoga weaves together three powerful modalities — Pilates for physical foundation, Yoga for stretch, subtle body depth, and philosophical guidance in daily life, Mindfulness for mental clarity and motivation. The result: a well rounded and versatile practice that works for every body, every age, every fitness level. This training teaches you to guide people into empowered strength — not just stronger abs, but stronger nervous systems. More stable bodies. A clear mind and full heart. You’ll learn how to teach it in multiple ways: calming and restorative, or energetic and challenging. Both approaches build core awareness. Both honour the mind-body connection. You’ll also experience Myo-fascia release & self massage techniques that will leave you feeling like you have just had a meditative journey and massage all in one. You will graduate with the tools to offer variety, creativity and inspirational yogic philosophy that you and your students can use as wisdom in daily life.
