Core Canister: A Guide to Engagement

November Focus: Plank + Push-Ups

If you’ve ever been told to “engage your core” but had no idea what that actually means…this workshop is for you.

Your core is more than just your abs. It is a dynamic system that supports your spine, breath, and movement in everything you do.

Most core issues are not about weakness, they are about coordination.

In this workshop, you will learn how to reconnect with your core in a way that actually translates to real life. We will explore the “core canister” (diaphragm, pelvic floor, deep abdominals, and back muscles) and how these pieces work together to create strength, stability, and ease.

This month, we’ll put it all into practice with planks and push-ups. We’ll explore how to create whole-body stability without simply bracing harder or holding your breath, and how your breath, core, shoulders, and pelvis can work together to make these movements feel stronger and more supported.

You will experience:

  • Simple ways to activate and coordinate your core
  • Partner exercises to feel what is working and what is not
  • Individual drills to build awareness and control
  • Application into planks, push-ups, and upper-body strength

Perfect for anyone who wants to move better, reduce pain, and feel stronger without overthinking it.

Coming more than once will take you deeper into the feeling so don’t be afraid to come multiple times!
