We forget the obliques when we think of the six pack or abdominal muscles. But these babies are so important in keeping our tubular muscles strong and toned to support the core.

From my point of view the best way to find your abdominals, and not only obliques, is to start yoga workout from some exercises strengthening them, like it does Forrest Yoga, connecting breathing and abdominal work. It makes easier to engage your abs and tag your tummy in during the following workout.

Thank you for this important reminder Sarah. When we look at the core muscle, we often neglect the importance of the oblique muscles. But both external and internal oblique muscles are vital part of our daily movement. Yoga Tune Up Oblique muscle stretch is an excellent tool to bring more awareness to that part of our body.

This is a great stretch. I do it myself quite often.

Thanks for another exercise that I can use for golf next spring (unfortunately, Chicago does not offer year round playing opportunities).

Always enjoy learning more about the abdominal muscles as a strong core is key in yoga and in life!

What a great pose to incorporate into the beginning of a yoga class to begin to awaken the body and prepare for core work and twisting poses.

Although i’ve seen many stretches, i have to say that i’ve never done this simple stretch. After doing it, i feel more limber in my upper body. It also seems to add some strength to the arms.

This seems like a simple pose but I can really feel my abdominals and lower back work together to create strength as well as extend the spine.

My dad loves to golf–I’ll definitely pass this on to him. Thanks!
