Yoga for Core Strength & Flexibility | Abs & Core Workout for Women (Yoga Sculpt Series)

Yoga for core strength and flexibility - this is part of my yoga sculpt series! This 20 min core and abs yoga workout for women will focus on rocking your core, toning your abs, relief from back pain! Improve flexibility and stability in your body! Core strength is essential for yogis!
♥ GET THE YOGA SCULPT SERIES: www.brettlarkin.com/sculpt
As a yogi or athlete, you know core strength is everything. But how do we access our deep transverse abdominals (the ones that power inversions and dives) without straining the head, neck and shoulders? This Core Sculpting class is the answer. We move through a variety of plank and seat-based exercises to engage these deep muscles. Of course, some yummy yoga and meditation helps us cool all that fire and heat we created by the time we hit savasana.

loved it. I almost gave up coz my upper body was on fire, but i paused adjusted my self and mind hehe, and kept going. thank you. Namaste

[@katherinsorensen6302]

I love this routine! I am intentionally strengthening my core after four babies in six years and after one time through, I already feel some of my former strength returning. Thank you for making flexibility and strength accessible for us time-crunched moms!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Thank you for practicing with me!!

[@LeonieOrtonWrites]

Phew! Intense one. Hello abs. Thanks Brett. :)

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

You are very welcome ;)

[@kristinaandreasantoinettel1354]

Oh my word so challenging! I really battle and have to press pause. But wow I never knew yoga could burn so much! Definitely going to use these videos to get stronger and build my core strength 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Thank you so much for practicing with me today!! 💖🙏

[@michelleungano3602]

That was awesome.....not surprising!! Always a challenge Bret....slow & controlled is key!! 🍹💖

[@ragrian]

I love the whole yoga sculpt series! Who would know that 20 minutes could be spent that effective...? Thanks! 🎉🎉

[@tiffanistipe918]

Woo my arms were burning, after reading Angie's comment; glad Im not the only one. Thank you for your flows. I've given up weight training for yoga since subscribing to your channel. Thank you! A very relaxing but amazing workout.

[@Syren-Joey]

That was a really intense class. The first part was really hard on my upper arms and I ended up needing to taking a tiny pause but I got back into it. Thank you!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Yay for listening to your body!! Thank you for practicing with me!

[@therhigarden6632]

Wonderful flow, great cues as always

[@spiritualconnectionsmedium7234]

I did this very well, except I had to make a lower plank variation my leaning my forearms against the yoga blocks because I have had several wrist injuries when I was a child, and at 31, I still feel it after a while, so I always remind my self to "take a break" or "use a variation" so that I don't end up damaging my wrists, as I really need them. LOL! but it was an awesome workout, as usual. Thank you so much for these videos, Brett. You're my all time favourite Yoga teacher on and off of KZbin.

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Yes!!! Love that you modify to make it work for you!! xoxoxo

[@AKAnn17]

Wow! Shaking like the fall leaves outside. Thanks for a great core segment.

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

You're welcome!!

[@tanvichadha9777]

love your videos in general, but especially ones like these for abs because while they sound intense (sculpt the core), the way you do it never makes it impossible which is encouraging and very motivating to get back on the mat.

[@ellenmaher5451]

As always, fantastic class. I am amazed at how more intense things get as I practice yoga daily now. My focus seems to be getting much better which helps with hanging in when it gets really challenging. Thank you Brett. You are an inspiration. Namaste!

[@joannamiller5791]

I love these short core workouts - perfect for before the day starts. Thank you Brett!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Thank you for practicing with me!!

[@bobsimon6289]

I love this series because I feel more strong and stable in every other physical activity that I do.

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Awesome! Yoga is amazing for cross training!

[@TrineReinOfficial]

Yay - I just discovered this to be a full series! How great is that! I started out with the thigh work out yesterday, and oh boy, it was effective. This one was also incredibly effective, and again, your instructions are so on time when you encourage me to stay with it just as I am wondering how long I can keep a posture. Really enjoy following you here. Thank you so much for your work out videos, they are really high quality all the way.

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

I love having you here!! Have you tried this class yet? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmXaomBmh7CagLM It is so fun and effective, just make sure you stretch good after!!! ;)

[@alexandraouzounis]

[@fionathehuman1424]

[@juliaforbes3884]

Great workout Brett! I’m 8 weeks postpartum and it feels so nice to get back on the mat again and get some sculpting in while sweet baby sleeps! I did modify a bit (my body’s not yet back to pre-baby shape) I love your channel! Thank you!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Congratulations on baby!! Thank you for practicing with me, and for listening to your body (modify as much as you need 💖).

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

You are so welcome!!

[@ellenmaher5451]

Great ab workout. Very challenging and effective. I definitely felt a burn in my abs. I noticed at the end doing up dog I had a little tweak in my lower left back which I worked on yesterday with one of your back relief practices so I will do that one again next. I really helped relax my back. Always love your classes. Thank you Brett. Namaste!!!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Hope your back is feeling better 💖

[@soulnectaryogawellness964]

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Thank you!

[@412mystic]

That was challenging today. And I became very emotional after the meditation as my hands held my heart. Thank you, bret. Namaste 💚

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

💖💖💖

[@patriciavillegas4671]

I love you Brett Larkin ❤🙏 always feels amazing after your sessions! Many blessings to you ❤

[@traceypomelli8743]

Day 3 done 😄 phew that was a toughy 🙏

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Namaste 🙏

[@jodyjohnson6042]

Thank you Brett. You inspire me to be more! This is a fab core workout

[@AndreaT1976]

I did this one this morning. It made me angry because my body was having a tough time with it and my wrists were hurting, but my anger isn't necessarily a bad thing. On another day I will love it. Sometimes the workouts that make me angry are my favorite ones because I like the challenge (if I'm complaining it's hard, I'm often loving it simultaneously). Today, I sat out in child's pose a few times, just as I would in a yoga studio. Not being in a studio, I was free to whine and swear out loud. :)

[@412mystic]

It challenged me too. Last time it was a breeze...You're not alone.

[@kasiakometa1985]

i felt different emotions too, including frustration. and letting those emotions to run thru your body during those poses is very healing to the body and mind.

[@agnetasigurdsson6630]

Thank you Brett, I could feel that! 🙏

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

You are welcome ;)

[@camiharper9078]

Thank you! I love all of your yoga videos!!

Definitely one of the hardest ones for me so far, but I LOVED the stretching in between, which was my motivation to keep going. The stretch is the reward for a job well done! :) Thanks again Brett!

This was THE hardest so far, the burn was intense!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

🔥🔥🔥

[@heartschoolmama]

Loved this. I'm going to have to revisit this one until I can do all the moves. It was killer for me! Especially the plank moves. But I'm proud of myself for finishing even though I took breaks ;)

[@hernanr100]

Thank you. Great one. I did this after another of your yoga sessions for post cardio. Sweat buckets!!!!!

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

+Rich Hernandez 🙌🙌🙌❤👍

[@hernanr100]

I forgot to add that your core and leg yoga work are very tough and challenging. I add these to my other cardio, HIIT and resistance work and they hurt in a different way. Thanks again.

[@alisonbell8739]

Wow, this was hard! Just need to keep at it.

[@BrettLarkinYoga]

Hard, but so worth it ;) Thank you for practicing with me!!
